An interesting story which might be stronger were the subject's critic not a blinding racist, but that doesn't mean he's wrong about this. He lays out the evidence on Substack and it does appear compelling, or at least answerable. Cambridge University doesn't come out of this well at all.

Another pumping / anthem-packed / fists in the air / we all dance as one release from the same place that gave you more of the same but last time. Music for properly liminal spaces. #ambient #mellotron #electronic #freemusic #skymusic

Just reminded myself that I bought this about 20 years ago and decided to play it from one end to the other over the course of a summer. I managed 3 CDs a day (though I played some organ music more than once) and never looked back. To me, he's still the best thing to happen to music. #JSBach
I might be alone in thinking this, but I'd happily throw all of these people out of a helicopter and onto a bonfire.
Who could be the next Graham Norton, and does the BBC even need one?
Many considered Claudia Winkleman as Norton's successor, but her chat show ended after just one series.

Is there anyone left who gives the slightest scintilla of a hint of a modicum of a scraping of fuck about this?

I might be overlooking something here, but how come they couldn't determine Widdecombe's cause of death despite her being beaten over the head 21 times? Beyond that point, is there any point in looking?
Cause of Ann Widdecombe's death not yet established, inquest hears
The 78-year-old was found with "visible injuries" at her home in Devon on 9 July.

Another freak-out freebie from the rocking house of disco-stomping party tunes. Guaranteed to raise the rafters and get the party started. #ambient #mellotron #electronica #musicalpuzzles

If there is a single word in the language that I would condemn to the cleansing fires it has to be 'wholesome'.
Americans guys who gather in groups of three or more to nasally and increasingly bark out their vapid witticisms in a quiet restaurant with hard walls which echoes their voices like gunfire, thereby ruining the night for everyone, should be taken out to the street and violently defiled. #justsaying
Another release, also free and also with some (perhaps) surprising sound sources. Collect them all and astound your friends. Probably. #ambient #slowmusic #mellotron #electronic #skymusic

Someone explain? "Her posts were reported to Police Scotland who initially said there was no criminality" "The force then confirmed [...] a 50-year-old has now been arrested and charged." Charged with what exactly? Being unpleasant? Is that a criminal offence now? #widdecombe #WTF
Aberdeen University worker charged over Ann Widdecombe death comments
Police Scotland had initially said there was no criminality but have now confirmed a 50-year-old has been arrested and charged.

Argentinians doing what they do best: winding up all the Billy Britains out there by not only beating them in the game but then reminding them about the Falklands to get them properly frothing at the tits.
"Lord Nelson, Lord Beaverbrook, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Anthony Eden, Clement Attlee, Henry Cooper, Lady Diana, vi har slått dem alle sammen, vi har slått dem alle sammen! Maggie Thatcher, can you hear me? Maggie Thatcher ... your boys took a hell of a beating!"

When and why did people start painting their flags on their faces? It really has to stop.
Will Scots back the Three Lions against Argentina - or it is 'anyone but England'?
As England progress, possibly to a final, some Scottish football fans are making tricky decisions about where their loyalties lie.

Another EP hot off the digital presses. Also free. A sightly different voice to this one-and perhaps a surprising one if you listen hard enought to it. #mellotron #ambient #electronic #free #skymusic

Anyone bringing more noisy young children to a restaurant than they can control will have them locked away in a government decreed soundproof room to spare other patrons. A second offence will have the fathers imprisoned and the mothers forcibly sterilised and enslaved. #wheniamdictator
Why the fuck does Uncle Scrooge McDuck wear spats? To keep his feet dry? He's a duck for crying out loud.
I'm resisting the temptation to remind everyone as to just what a harridan Ann Widdecombe was, and how and seemed to stand for just about everything that I found repugnant, but her end sounds appalling and undeserved. I hope they catch the bastard who did it.
Police launch murder investigation into Ann Widdecombe's death
Devon and Cornwall Police say the 78-year-old was found at her home on Dartmoor in Devon on Thursday with serious injuries.
