@HumzaYousaf Arday’s story is better characterised as dark comedy than tragedy: self-invention, institutional credulity, exposure, and the inevitable collapse of a manufactured reputation. His death is a personal tragedy for those who loved him, but it does not make his conduct less culpable.

@Ross_Greer Spare us 'tragedy'. What is tragic is that the normal process of investigation, correction and accountability was interrupted by his death.

@BBCNewsnight Duh!. Clearly he wasn't a former academic. He was a chancer.

[Rab Powan @peibio_clafrog]

@pippaliciousj Haha. Are you for ****ing real?

[Rab Powan @peibio_clafrog]

@fem_mb After reading this, I am defo in camp Jennifer.

[Rab Powan @peibio_clafrog]

@NickCohen4 No their coverage was right. Had he admi
tted his fraud then the ire could have been correctly redirected at the academics who promoted and defended him. This situation just diverts from the achievement of justice for all those affected by his appointment.

[Rab Powan @peibio_clafrog]

@wmarybeard He was absolutely no loss to humanity as a whole. He was a fraud.

[Rab Powan @peibio_clafrog]

@guywalters Vulnerable? He had the status of a Cambridge professor.

[Rab Powan @peibio_clafrog]

@tomhgill @tomhfh No Tom, he was a fraud as well.

[Rab Powan @peibio_clafrog]

@afneil This was no tragedy at all. He was a fraud and his fraud badly affected other a people. If he was of real professorial calibre this wouldn't have happened.

Why are you so beating yourself up?
