Are you the last person apart from the sad flotsam selected inappropriately to work for a ruined MI6, naive enough to still take the Kyiv Independent seriously? It seems John Major must have tried sought out and found someone a bit dimmer and less intellectually challenging than Norma. It seems he may have found her.
@RishiSunak are you completely insane? You used to be a banker you should know better. And you used to be a politician but you aren’t anymore. Who do you think you are talking about when you say “we”. You have no power anymore and hopefully never will have ever again.
I wonder which is worse? Inflating Arday’s claims because he’s black, claiming the outrage is because he’s black, or shooting the messenger, because he’s a Jew? Who are the real race haters here? The socialists must be gutted they cannot simply put him on a train to Poland for a short period of incarceration?
I haven’t read any of his stuff, but Cofnas is a significantly better lecturer than Arday, and earned his positions at Cambridge and Ghent, all of which were junior associate roles. Whilst his scholarship, like Arday’s, does not seem to have reached the level of full
Professorship yet, that honour has yet to be conferred upon him.
At Cambridge, he was a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the Faculty of Philosophy and a Research Associate at Emmanuel College. He’s now a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Philosophy and Moral Sciences at Ghent University. He wasn’t fired from his main Cambridge fellowship; it ran its course. However, Emmanuel College terminated his research associate affiliation in twenty twenty-four after his blog post on race and meritocracy, which they saw as rejecting DEI values. It seems to me it was the non-conformist message not the methodology that caused Emmanuel to panic.
This is very worth reading because it beautifully lays out the faulty thinking that has given us suicidal economic policy that has also made no impact on climate change whatsoever.
Characteristically, it pretends that those who oppose Net Zero do so because they deny that the climate is changing (no one sensible does), that outsourcing our emissions to poor countries, an accounting trick, is somehow green (it's not) and, most importantly, challenges the argument that the overwhelming majority of carbon emissions produced in the world today are emitted by countries that care about economic growth way more than they care about "saving the planet" (China, India etc) by citing Kenya whose entire annual emissions are roughly equivalent to what China emits in about 8 hours.
The hoax is not climate change. The hoax is that we can stop it by making ourselves poorer.
@empire_res66190 So he doesn’t want to rule from or
to live in Buckingham Palace? Perhaps he should be moved to Richard II’s old quarters in the basement of Pontefract Castle, with the same strictly portion controlled organic diet (halal, if he prefers, whilst still legal, ).
