The attempt to turn Arday into a saintly victim of a racist press is obnoxious on so many levels. A man’s suicide is being used as a platform on which to pursue pre-existing political agendas, from shackling the press to shoring up the rotten, racist ideology of DEI – which insists academic standards must be lowered for ethnic minorities to thrive.
If anything, the fall of Jason Arday was set in motion by DEI. So captured was Cambridge by this warped, phoney form of ‘anti-racism’ that it elevated a man who might have sounded all the right notes about ‘white supremacy’, but whose lies, or perhaps delusions, were always going to be exposed eventually, bringing his world tumbling down.
