A citizen journalist doing the job the likes of the @theguardian.com, @thetelegraph.bsky.social, @thedailymail.bsky.social are incapable of doing with deadly consequences
Emma Monk@monkemma.bsky.social · 19h agoOne of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26
The amazing Emma Monk 👏 Are we happy that citizen journalists like her (or me during Tories), acting with no resources, working in our own time, untrained and unpaid, can so easily expose so much that the BBC, Telegraph and Times *somehow* manage to miss? It's almost like they're not trying.

Southern Water has lost over 37 billion litres of water due to leaks in 2024/2025. That’s the equivalent of over 40 Olympic-sized swimming pools every day.
'This drought shows how important it is we take back control of our water industry'
Solving a challenge like this requires many solutions across the economy, but one of the key industries we need to get a grip of is our water.

Until very recently, the word “woke” conveyed something beautiful: political awakening in the context of the African-American liberation struggle. The way it has been forcibly stripped from that context and transformed into a ubiquitous term of derision is shockingly cruel & inherently anti-black 1/
It should be career ending to say one race is inferior to another race. For fucks sake!! These people should be pariahs!
Day 40 of trying to get Karl Clewes bass #guitar YouTube channel the attention it richly deserves 🎸 Love this one, considering learning it as it's more accessible to me than the slapped stuff. My slap isn't up to snuff yet lol. Working on it though. youtu.be/MlU5XopsoZg?...

So immigration is OK as long as it's white European immigrants?!
Charles Я. Davis@charliearchy.bsky.social · 4d agoNEW: The Trump administration is looking to set up a consortium for anti-immigrant "independent journalism" in Europe, with the State Department envisioning "substantial involvement" in the project. www.theredoubt.net/trump-admini...
You can change the feed to show content from just your FB friends, but you can't set it as a default, and by the time I've made the effort to do it I've lost interest in being on FB.
Olivier Simard-Casanova@o.simardcasanova.net · 4d agoI would describe my experience on Facebook as "a few relevant-ish posts inserted between a deluge of ads". This place is a landfill.
I have a strong sense that, the more people dig, the more innocent Jason Arday will become. Which just makes his death, and the circumstances leading up to it, more awful
Carole Cadwalladr@carolecadwalla.bsky.social · 3d agoA professor writes: (Jason Stanley) The problem is that journalists failed to do basic journalism. Not a single reporter seems to have checked’ Jason Arday’s citations. The ‘quantifiable metrics’ of his work. Prof Stanley did: ‘Arday is easily comparable to the leading scholars in the field’
I just knew we'd get this bollocks. Farage - like the Telegraph- doesn't want progress or anything to improve he just wants Britain to sit in a miserable slump in which he can holler constantly about "migrants" and drink pints in slow motion videos with people who pine for WW2.
That's FPTP for you, thinking in 5 year terms.
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 4d agoWe do not build the reservoirs needed to store the rain that falls here. We do not build strategic food reserves needed to maintain provision in hard times. We failed to build effective stores of PPE, to protect us in pandemics. This country has long been governed by people who do not prepare.
James Orr needs as much scrutiny as Arday was given.
lesleybruce@lesleybruce.bsky.social · 4d ago“By understanding this network and its ideology, a more accurate picture can be developed of the motivations behind the disproportionate attacks on Jason Arday that continued even after his resignation from Cambridge University.” bylinetimes.com/2026/08/18/t...
"There will be another Jason Arday. We know this. Because the media knows this. The press isn't free if it lacks impunity to do anything it likes. It is how power protects itself. By declaring it has none. There is no check to fetter power when unfettered power resides in the check." My Editorial:
There Will Be Another Jason Arday

Truth. Brexit is a threat to national security. Been saying that from the beginning.

Stick that where the sun don't shine right wingers and culture war crazies.
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan@london.gov.uk · 4d agoThis stopped me in my tracks. An independent study by @qmul.bsky.social has found that after ULEZ was introduced, children’s lungs grew faster in Central London and have now caught up with children outside of the capital. Incredible.
Tragically, Jason Arday has died after a vicious press campaign over the last few weeks. The Government must urgently launch an inquiry into the rotten culture of the press, and any role it had in his death. hackedoff.org/campaign-actions/demand-an-inquiry-into-the-culture-of-the-press
Demand an inquiry into the culture of the press
Jason Arday died after being relentlessly hounded by the press. Demand an inquiry into press culture now.

The electorate are being lead by the nose by MSM for clicks.
Chris Rivers@chrisrivers50.bsky.social · 5d agoApparently Immigration is *still* No. 1 issue 🤦♂️ 1. Immigration: 50% 2. Economy: 47% ————- 3. NHS: 26% 4. Environment: 25% 5. Defence: 25% 6. Welfare: 20%
I'm so fucking sick of the wall to wall coverage of every utterance, however unhinged, from Reform. MSM do it for clicks, don't feed their business model, don't engage.

There is a legitimate major public interest in scrutinising the press.
Steve Peers@stevepeers.bsky.social · 6d agoThe "major public interest" claim, which is being used here to justify the hysterical RW moral panic, presumably rests on an assumption that one individual appointment was somehow typical of university hiring. As I have pointed out, this is a ridiculous claim, initially pushed by a full-ass racist.
