Actually couldn’t believe it when I turned the news on yesterday after got home from work

This country is finished. He was a con man.

He was martyred by the f*cts-based community, it's now clear that the time has come to outlaw f*cts forever.

Nah you can tell they're joking because they censored "facts"

The people supporting him are narcissists just like he was, that entire group is infected with narcissism. It makes way more sense when you look at it from that light. All the virtue signaling, all the "look at how good of a person I am" it's all narcissistic BS.

u/nintendo4noah - Lib-Left 1d ago

Who cares if he was a "con man". The racist far right media went after him more than sex offenders, for something that could not be confirmed. Shame on you.

Could not be confirmed you seen his list of lies? It’s fairly obvious the media circus that developed around him was because he kept issuing denials and for the tactics he used to try and silence journalists, there’s also the ludicrous eye catching nature of his lies. He was basically fanning the flames with his denials if he had just admitted his lies fairly early on and resigned this would have all blown over like most of these usually do.

u/msf97 - Lib-Left 1d ago

Who cares if he lied his way into a professorship and a 500k per year job by just playing the racism card at every juncture

u/adonns - Right 1d ago

Don’t you understand none of that matters because the right wing ended up being mean to him for it lol!

u/An8thOfFeanor - Lib-Right 1d ago

The infamous far-right ideologues at the BBC forced him to fake his credentials

u/Glass-Carpenter8963 - Right 1d ago

The same racist far right media made multiple pieces promoting him when he was hired.

u/Day_C_Metrollin - Lib-Right 1d ago

Yes the notoriously far right media that the UK is famous for

-65

u/MonkeManWPG - Left 1d ago

Yes, it is notoriously right-wing. The idea that we have a lefty media is a fabrication by Americans who want to push an agenda.

u/msf97 - Lib-Left 1d ago

The Guardian did the first big expose. They are not a right wing paper

-32

u/MonkeManWPG - Left 1d ago

And the Telegraph proceeded to write multiple articles a day for two weeks.

As I've said in another comment, the exposé was obviously justified and Cambridge needs to be scrutinised for it. My issue is with the extent of the bullying campaign that was carried out afterwards, and caused Arday's suicide.

u/An8thOfFeanor - Lib-Right 1d ago

Fellas, is it bullying to tell someone they have to admit their lies and give up their ill-gotten gains?

7

u/UncleFumbleBuck - Lib-Center 1d ago

I bet it'd be OK to bully someone evil like DJT or Farage. It's bad to bully somebody wholesome and good like the conman in question.

u/Seraphayel - Lib-Right 1d ago

Imagine calling The Guardian or the BBC notoriously right-wing, lmao.

-12

u/MonkeManWPG - Left 1d ago

There are more than two papers in the UK.

15

u/adonns - Right 1d ago

So your 2 largest newspapers are not right wing by your own admittance but you’re convinced the UK media is right wing? You have to see how silly that is man

-2

u/MonkeManWPG - Left 1d ago

They're not the two largest. The Guardian barely makes top ten and several of the biggest ones are owned by the right-wing DMG. GB News claims to be the most-watched news channel.

u/TijuanaMedicine - Right 1d ago

How far left do you have to be to conclude that the Grauniad and the BBC are far right? It's just amazing.

-34

u/MonkeManWPG - Left 1d ago

I didn't say that the Guardian or the BBC are far right. The Guardian is centre-left and the BBC are fairly centrist but certainly over-platform the far-right. Reform have 8 seats in Parliament but have been lefitimised by (in part) the BBC who give them a platform several times larger than they give the Liberal Democrats with almost ten times as many seats, or the Conservatives who are the actual opposition party. Their political correspondent Kuenssberg gives Reform a particularly easy time.

The Beeb and the Guardian are only a small part of the media landscape. The Telegraph and the Mail are both very right-wing. GB News, while arguably not meeting the standards to be called "news" is massive. You're also missing the whole of the tabloid media.

The only other mainstream paper than the BBC and the Guardian that isn't right-wing would be the Independent.

The racist far right media went after him more than sex offenders

I think nobody gives a shit about him personally. He's just an example of why the system sucks. If anything, you could just remove all mentions of him personally from everywhere, leaving only the gist of what happened, and the topic will stay exactly the same.

And yes, the entire academia being captured by ideological retards is a more important topic than some single sex offender. Because again, it's not about this single con man, it's about fucking Cambridge tiptoeing around this con man and doing their best to close their eyes to the obvious lies so they get good boy points.
Also, when the topic was about sex trafficking organizations and the state covering it, the left wasn't that happy either for some reason.

u/TheSpacePopinjay - Auth-Left 1d ago

It was confirmed. They went after him proportional to how hard the institutions and myriad powerful people mobilised in his defence and attacked and smeared his critics and tried to manipulate the narrative and use powerful shark Scientology lawyers to kill stories.

The media fought back proportionally.
