in case folk outside the UK aren't abreast of our news, the British press just hounded a black academic to death
a rough timeline of events (from memory, there may be inaccuracies, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)
- Cambridge professor of sociology Jason Arday is accused of plagiarism by another academic
- the accuser is a "race realist" who believes that in a true meritocracy all university professors would be white. this is somehow not acknowledged much during the entire ordeal
- this leads to several days of media coverage demanding an investigation, or that Arday is expelled from his post immediately
- somehow this accusation that has no effect on the lives of 99.99% of the population becomes FRONT PAGE NEWS in all the newspapers for multiple days, above anything else happening in the UK or the world at large
- following intense media scrutiny, Arday resigns his post as a Cambridge professor
- today, august 14th, days after resigning, Arday is found dead at his home in Battersea
the British tabloid press remains, and will always be, fucking evil
my fucking ears
