  It says so much about the state of our society when the fraud is lauded as a martyr while the man who exposed the fraud is vilified.

  Absolutely ridiculous that this man has been scapegoated.

  Truth is treason in an empire of lies.

  Arday threatened a journalist called Jack Grove long before this all came to a head . Arday was a fraud

  Yes they don't mention a professor from another university who wrote to Arday privately in 2023 querying his research. First he did not reply and when he did reply it was to tell him it was difficult enough for black people to rise in academia without people like him making it harder. He then told him if he continued to write he would report him to the police for harassment - which he did.

  If anyone's to blame for Arday's suicide it's his enablers.

  The most common motive for suicide is shame, not suffering or despair.

  No-one piled on because of his Plagiarism. It was the overall "package", the complete situation and all its players....CAMBRIDGE  of ALL places, (Exalted English hoitie-toitie ACADEMIA), the ridiculous supporting acts (Cremin, other Universities, gushing newzos), the man's outrageous and laughable fantasies which we were expected to believe, his whole "get-up" (eye liner, waxed eyebrows, the HAIR,  the Meghan Markle smile)! Its straight out of a comedy sketch. Had you scripted his complete story and claims into a serious feature film, people would not know whether to laugh or cry....IF you could find a producer for such a tale. The man created himself as a ready made meme, and failed to consider the consequences. Its just logical that in a world so full of literal disaster, a man who blows this much smoke up the collective chimney would be a magnet for scrutiny, and unfortunately, mockery.

  Nathan spoke days before Jason Arday took his own life and expressed he remain as professor at Cambridge University. This way he would symbolize DEI, just like Claudine Gay at Harvard University when she too was exposed as a serial plagiarist. She was allowed to keep her professorship and $900K annual salary.

  Ironic that people complain of the pile-on, on Arday, but are happy for pile-on to happen on Cofnas.

  Being punished for exposing the truth is just crazy.

  It’s appalling what universities have become, especially Cambridge. It’s truly disgraceful to see them defending someone as violent and dishonest as JA.
