Och, I’ve not seen any hatred.

Ranting that “I’ve just about had enough of this grifter now” about someone who has committed suicide goes beyond hatred and is actually unhinged.

Holidayhooha · 16/08/2026 20:51

I haven’t either. Disgust maybe but not hatred.

Another vain attempt to stifle reasoned comment, it seems.

You have the option of reporting the post concerned, of course.

Done and deleted.

Bulgebracket · 16/08/2026 21:06

And the thread remains.

Every other thread on JA has gone this way and every other thread has been deleted.

This story has legs, as they say - doubtless fresh threads will appear.

Did I read right that the Head of Cambridge College, Lord Woolley has called for the media to be held to account? Sorry if it's already been mentioned.

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure the other threads were deleted because of the piling on to and demonising of people who had been discussing legitimate concerns about JA’s case, not because of people discussing legitimate concerns about JA’s case.

No, it isn’t deleted.

Yes, I was on those threads and they all came crawling out the woodwork. I was basically told to leave one of the threads, I'd been posting on so they could continue their attacks! Cowards. There were some names I'd never seen before.

BermudaRhombus · 16/08/2026 21:21

CloverAndGrass · 16/08/2026 21:18

No, it isn’t deleted.

Both of her posts are now deleted after I reported them and rightly so. Disgusting.

No, I don't think it is.

I think it is legitimate to discuss Arday's professional life as a university professor, and his publicly lived life as used by himself and others for self-promotion.

I do not think it is legitimate to drag his family into it. I don't think it's remotely acceptable to start talking about his children. I don't think it's ok to look into his private life. His family and children did not ask for this.

Agree with the long necked one on this.

Many different reasons why they could have chosen to stay quiet apart from a brief statement after he died. They can not be dragged into the mess he has left behind just because he isn't here to answer questions anymore. Unless someone starts giving interviews about the allegations they should not have to have scrutiny or be pressed to talk about any of this.

Yes that's the article I saw at a glance. The nerve!

I see Diane Abbott has got stuck in. No surprises there. She talks about unfavourable media attention. She courts most of it.

Well that isn't true

I have been watching 4 threads on this guy and only one has been deleted. The other three are still running and fairly active

Truth is if people want to stop or slow down these threads then stop going on them and arguing about pointless stuff etc. That way the threads will slow down and eventually conversation will dry up.

Give me strength

She has really lost it in the last few years. OK she was never great but whatever she decides to support these days loses any credibility instantly

It is perfectly legitimate to question how complicit the family were in the fraud and monetary gain from it.

The only possible fraud is the autobiography, and it doesn’t sound like Simon and Schuster are too fussed about that, presumably because they are anticipating making more than their advance back.

How much was the advance?

The whole thing has been a fraud.
Either they have been complicit, or subject to coercive control.
No evidence for the latter.
And as for the ‘gofundme’ grift for the funeral….

CloverAndGrass · 16/08/2026 22:34

The leftists who are so disgusted with people who they claim started a witch hunt against JA are currently on Twitter trying to start a witch hunt against Nathan Cofnas, calling him a Nazi amongst other things, which is interesting as he is Jewish.
