In Britain, the death of the fraudulent University of Cambridge professor Jason Arday has triggered the kind of networked hysteria not seen on the Left since the death of George Floyd in 2020. Arday, once the youngest black professor at Cambridge, was found dead on Aug. 14 after a cascade of revelations exposed him as a fake and a plagiarist. On Aug. 18, thousands of people gathered in London’s Trafalgar Square to mourn him. The speakers accused the press of an “assassination” and a “lynching,” and called for punitive regulation of Britain’s already punitively regulated media.
