arday was clearly an academic fraud and a ridiculous fabulist, but this was the press hounding a man to death to please nazi freaks on twitter who clapped like seals the whole way. it's all gross and bad

the plot beats of his rise is something straight out of a bbc comedy series, esp his academic station. to act like there was never going to be any schadenfreude (he was at cambridge!!!) or coverage is absurd. but the constant, repeated, intensity of coverage—see also claudine gay—was just racism

the editor of the telegraph especially— should, frankly, blow his brains out. this was a lynching of a man who didn't deserve death or anything close to it. they knew exactly what they were doing unlike a low rent fraud who just backs themselves into a pile of white lies
