Hesitate to share this, but Tim Montgomerie looks properly unwell.

A rather relevant comment that Arday was being used as a token by the right wing press for all black academics, but strangely the same has not been the case for Matt Goodwin. Strange that.

The Mail has been one of the leaders in the right wing press pile-on with Arday. They have spent days on the story, with front page headlines, and double page spreads inside, all designed to demonise Arday and "woke" academia. Yesterday they even had their tame in-house psychiatrist with a full page article on what causes people to fantasise/exaggerate.

Now that he has died, no doubt brought on by the pressures and criticism he has been subjected to, they have just mentioned that he has been found dead in a small article inside the paper.

B@stards!

Ah, OK, thanks. Don't agree with his politics, obvs, but good on him for carrying on working despite that.

And The Times has been deleting some of its online content, apparently. Oh that some others would reflect and do the same. Pretty rich stuff coming from Toby Young at The Spectator, who got into Cambridge only because of who his father was, I gather.
