Calls for public inquiry into Jason Arday media 'witchhunt'. Of course. They'll keep doubling down rather than ever admit they were all made to look like fools by Arday. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwym…

The only person responsible for Jason Arday's death is Jason Arday. He was a liar and a fraud who was rightly exposed for what he really was by academics and journalists who were simply doing their job. No one forced Arday to make up lie after lie about his life. He chose to do that. And he did it for financial gain and to bask in the applause it brought him. He used those lies to deceive people into giving him a job he didn't merit, a lucrative book deal he didn't deserve,  as well as fame and adulation he didn't earn.  And when he was found out, he called in the police and expensive lawyers to shut his accusers up, and his failed students who complained were branded as racist. Cambridge University and Jesus College enabled this liar by lauding him as brilliant when he wasn't even mediocre. They should ask themselves why they put their DEI religion above the need for fairness in their appointments processes, above the needs of Arday's students and, most importantly, above the truth. Arday's family and friends should ask themselves why they chose not to speak out to expose his lies which they must have known to be untrue.  The police should ask themselves why they thought it acceptable to investigate an academic and a journalist simply for asking questions about Arday's fraudulent CV.  The BBC and Arday's many other deluded cheerleaders should ask themselves why they were so desperate to believe Arday's outlandish claims in the face of all the evidence. The thousands of the great and the good in academia, politics, media and law who signed the Good Law Project letter backing Arday should ask themselves why, without any justification, they outrageously branded Arday's critics as racists who just wanted to bring down a successful black man because of the colour of his skin. All of these people made their own contributions to Jason Arday's life. And arguably all of them contributed in some way to his decision to take his own life when his fantastical claims were finally exposed for what they really were: lies. The idea that those who exposed Arday as a lying fraudster are to blame for his death is as laughable as it is outrageous.  The idea that Arday was "hounded" to his death is absurd. He chose to tell every single lie himself and he even chose to continue those lies in his resignation letter from Cambridge. He is not the victim. He is the perpetrator. The claim that Arday's downfall was only a front page story because he was black is also ridiculous. He chose to tell the lies that made him a front page story in the first place.  I feel sorry for those who loved him. It is very sad that he has chosen to take his own life rather than face the consequences of his own actions, which should have resulted in a criminal conviction for fraud.  But actions have consequences. This isn't about right and left. It's about right and wrong.

Isn't this you happily shaking hands with the Syrian President, Ahmed al-Sharaa, who led an Al-Qaeda linked terror group which carried out multiple beheadings? Just checking on your tolerance levels for this sort of stuff @Keir_Starmer
