This is disgusting and the best response is to donate to the RNLI so they all know how much we support them.

They are the best of us.

As homes burn, crops wither, and families count the cost of an unprecedented punishing summer, Richard Tice has identified the real emergency: whether English wine is improving.

I wonder if they’ll be as many column inches and lead articles dedicated to debunking the claims against Arday as there were in bringing him down
So the allegation of plagiarism in his PhD was investigated and dismissed. It turns out he did run all those marathons. So tell me, precisely, all you online sleuths — what exactly did Jason Arday do wrong?

(Apart from being the wrong class and colour of course)

Jason Arday crossed paths with vile eugenics enthusiast Nathan Cofnas.

His part in the tragedy should be acknowledged.

Perhaps we ought to take a moment to reflect on how many white male cishet privately educated non disabled men have been given jobs and promoted without question based on fabricated CVs, unfounded self-confidence and an embellished life story & whether we’ve even heard of them.

I know journalists at right-wing outlets are physically incapable of introspection but I hope everyone else around them realises how direct a role they played in hounding a man with two kids to suicide

This is the coverage of Arday **just in the Telegraph** in the UK. This is only the first four pages of results, just in one outlet.

Jadon Arday found dead. I hope all those racist bastards are happy with themselves for driving a young black man to his death.

You essentially achieved an indirect lynching.

God, I fucking hate what this country is becoming.

Jason Arday is dead. The UK media won’t learn a thing from this. Because they’re racist bastards. He has two children.

I feared this would happen. His story was troubling but the wave of hatred and obsession in the media when he was clearly someone who was vulnerable - whatever you thought of him - was entirely disproportionate and in my view fuelled by racists.

My thoughts are with his loved ones tonight.

I don’t think there’s ever been a clearer example of the British media bullying someone, who was so clearly vulnerable, to death so shamelessly in my lifetime for engagement and clicks

And now we’ll have to watch the people that did it claim they’re shocked, and horrified

The only things this ridiculous Clacton by-election farce have confirmed:
1) Farage is wholly unfit for public office, given his willingness to abuse it
2) Farage is corrupt
3) Farage is an attention-seeking, charmless, lying dickhead
4) Clacton has let us all down. Again.
That’s it.
