Un préfet « assume » de violer les lois de la République en bloquant le droit d’accès à son administration. Et donc « assume » de jeter des personnes dans l’irrégularité alors même que nos lois peuvent leur accorder un droit au séjour. Mais ce préfet n’est pas révoqué. Il est encensé & s’en vante.

Today we’re seeing a variety of these tawdry attempts to blame only Cambridge for Arday’s death, by putting a target on his back. As if those who chose to aim at that target - to destroy a black autistic man so they could win an EDI argument - are blameless. www.thetimes.com/article/jaso...
Jason Arday, former Cambridge University professor, found dead
Academic at centre of plagiarism row was found unresponsive in Battersea. Police said his death was not believed to be suspicious

If you are all so worried about plagiarism, spend some more time and energy covering this shit instead of hounding individual academics. Ghouls.
Booksellers suspect AI firms are buying and then destroying rare books
AI firms quietly bulk buying rare books face resistance from booksellers.
