@sappholives83@CaraPac46808618 We should advise all the women redacted from society in Afghanistan that they could try joining the ‘male club’ and that should solve their oppression.
Unbelievable.
The Home Office is giving illegal small boats migrants a booklet explaining that rape and sex with children are frowned on in Britain.
If thousands of men who land here have to be taught rape is bad why the hell are they allowed to stay?
'Some of those now hurling accusations of racism gleefully celebrated the murder of Ann Widdecombe in the vilest terms imaginable. As they’d done with the murder of the American political activist, Charlie Kirk.
'Earlier this year, they hounded a man suffering from Tourette's because he had an unfortunate episode at a cinema awards night.' 👇

I am bewildered, and not very impressed, by the visceral, naked, irrational hatred spat out by some defenders of Jason Arday. If a Cambridge professor is accused of being an unqualified charlatan, the accusation might be racially motivated. On the other hand it might not, depending on the evidence. The correct question to ask is not, ”What is the colour of his skin” but “Is it in fact true that he is an unqualified charlatan?” Please examine the evidence before leaping to the assumption of racism.
As for the idea that journalists “piled in on him” and “hounded him to his death”, most attacks were against Cambridge University. Jason himself was widely regarded as an unfortunate victim of foolish promotion way beyond his ability to cope. In appointing him to a professorship for which he was manifestly unqualified – in ludicrously describing him as “the best in the world” – certain senior members of the university showed a level of patronising condescension towards black people that could fairly be described as racism, while at the same time making him tragically vulnerable to such attacks as came his way.
It was right for the Guardian to publish its investigation, and it is wrong that the journalists who did their job responsibly are now being subjected to an onslaught of abuse.

Imagine being told back in the 90s, when you were reading The Quantity Theory of Insanity, that in thirty years Will Self would be publicly appealing for journalists to be arrested for exposing fraud in academia.
The UK is being terrorised by mediocrities, who've been promoting one another to positions of power, while persecuting high quality cadre that highlight their incompetence. They have run our society into the ground, and now want to stifle freedoms to keep themselves in power.
I haven’t weighed in here on the Jason Arday (I’m a good person) but if you run a story on just the plagiarism allegations and neglect to mention the florid lies the man told about his life, you are not doing your job
If the Tinder Swindler killed himself, would folks turn out like this?
Would they give speeches blaming the media for "obsessive" coverage?
I don't wish suicide on anyone, but valorizing a con artist is crazy. I wish these ppl could see how it looks from the outside.
There's no need to be blackpilled about the thousands of people who showed up and spouted nonsense at the Jason Arday vigil in Trafalgar Square.
Why? Because they know the fragility of their worldview and can sense the tide is turning. Perhaps they also have an inkling that institutionally, the DEI house of cards will come tumbling down soon as the political winds have shifted dramatically. Therefore, as @joshxhowie said, they are making a last stand.
It's long been known that costly, counter-evidential beliefs function as credible loyalty tests. Endorsing something that is obviously bereft of epistemic dignity to outsiders imposes a huge reputational cost on the believer.
That cost makes defection more expensive and signals to the in-group that you are fully committed rather than a free-rider who will leave when the going gets tough. The more prima facie absurd the claim, the stronger the signal.
You've seen this with the trans / gender ideology movement. The insistence that biological males can become women or that sex itself is a fluid social construct untethered from chromosomes, gametes, and reproductive anatomy, functions less as a scientific proposition than as a high-stakes loyalty oath.
Its very defiance of observable nature and empirical consensus elevates it into a sacred shibboleth - those who affirm it at the price of their own credibility signal that the group’s moral authority supersedes the evidence of the senses, while those who refuse are marked as outsiders.
The case of Jason Arday unfolds within the same framework. His improbable narrative of profound childhood disability overcome by miraculous ascent, accompanied by extraordinary athletic and philanthropic claims, became a totem of institutional virtue and racial progress. Even his thin and questionable record as a scholar was met with that dramatic handclasp by the head of department for education at Cambridge who looked him deep in the eyes and said, “you are the best in the world in terms of the research that you do." The rest of us outsiders all could barely suppress our laughter seeing this plainly for what it is.
Early defenders, confronted with accumulating contradictions and allegations of academic impropriety, frequently subordinated evidentiary scrutiny to the imperative of solidarity; questioning the story was treated as an assault on the tribe itself rather than an inquiry into truth. Jason Arday himself capitalized on this by siccing the police on inquiring colleagues and investigative reporters, and by accusing any students who complained of racism.
The eventual collapse of the edifice revealed how thoroughly the loyalty test had operated until the costs grew unsustainable. That's why they decided to congregate in Trafalgar Square.
Sadly for them, the British people are a lot smarter than this DEI cult that is fast approaching the total exhaustion of its cultural and political capital.
IT HAS BEGUN.
Reports that women are now fleeing Ceuta with their children after the large number of people stormed the borders.
A few days ago, local authorities estimated that at least 9000 people who crossed the border were still in Ceuta.
This should be bigger news.
