Jason Arday is the poster child of what happens when the cancer of diversity, inclusion, and equity becomes the driving ethos of academia. He is as educated and as talented as my dirty socks (and allegedly a fraud and a liar) but his skin color supersedes all else. I have screamed about this in academia for decades but most of my colleagues have the courage of a castrated antelope so they sit quietly whilst our edifices of reason and excellence are destroyed.
Jason Arday may be at fault, but the real villains are his PhD supervisors, his PhD examiners, anyone who wrote him a reference, anyone who sat on an appointments committee that hired him, colleagues who never challenged him in seminars or talks, reviewers who recommended his work for publication, and editors who published it. In short, the system. He is a product of that system, and it will eventually throw him to the wolves to protect the illusion that it maintains rigorous standards. This does not mean he is blameless, but the deeper problem is the system itself.

The Government cut funding for Level 7 apprenticeships for British people over 22 because it couldn’t afford them, but has found £5k per worker for firms to hire non-British workers. Totally ridiculous.
It’s not social media that’s “inflaming tensions”.
It’s not Elon Musk.
It’s not Nigel Farage.
It’s not the ‘far-right’.
It is the very deliberate policy of mass uncontrolled immigration & open borders.
This policy has to end or it will destroy Western nations.
Jim Allister (N Antrim) asked H. Benn what would be done to 'stop the importation of an alien culture that thinks it's appropriate to try to behead someone'. Benn regretted the term 'alien culture', adding 'what exactly is he referring to?' Unionists, exasperated: 'Beheading!'
This is a BBC puff piece for little girls being sold for child marriage in Afghanistan. A culture treating little girls like cattle and the BBC seem to be justifying it. Disgraceful.

David Lammy has never moved swiftly to find extra court capacity for the people who support Hamas or Hezbollah.
Labour hasn’t moved swiftly to proscribe the IRGC or Muslim Brotherhood.
As soon as they see working class Brits gathering, they suddenly find the energy.
Christ sake, how long will we have to listen to this wet flannel waffle on about buses, how much money is it costing the ordinary people of Manchester to have a by election because this turnip thinks he's got a god given right to be prime minister?
Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has set out his views on Labour's path forward and the policy challenges facing the country.
Speaking to Channel 4 News' Andrew Misra, Burnham said he wanted Labour to become “a party that they can believe in again, a party solidly on the side of working class people.”
"No, I don't subscribe to this 'kindness' - I'll tell the truth instead."
I spoke at the Cambridge Union last night about LGBs, children's safety and women's rights. Full video here:
@Smyth_Chris Moving people from 1 list to another so it looks like people aren't waiting as long, sending them to a group appointment to "talk" about your issues not actually treat them and sending letters to people to ask if they want to stay on the list, presumably hoping they won't reply
“What kind of a depraved monster slices off a woman’s breast while she is being gang raped, and throws it into the dust to be used as a plaything? What kind of a twisted pervert turns rape into necrophilia by shooting a woman in the head while he is still defiling her?
What kind of ‘freedom fighters’ go into battle with a set of handy Arabic-to-Hebrew phrases, including ‘take off your pants’, ‘lie down’, and ‘spread your legs’?
What self-respecting human being presses nails, scalpels, a hammer, an axe, screwdrivers and other household tools into a woman’s genitals?
How hard do you have to rape someone, and with what, to shatter their pelvis? Who shoots a young girl in the face and then films her mutilated corpse on her brother’s mobile phone?
The answer is: Hamas terrorists. This is the stark reality of what they did to men, women and children on October 7, 2023. And the world must never forget.”
