Thoughts and prayers for insufferable lefties flatfooted by the Arday fallout. Hapless hacks split ranks from the exculpatory looney party line and critiqued Professor Vanilli’s plagiarism and fantasist larging as decidedy ropey for an elite don.

Bravo?

Nope. Schoolboy error.

They’ve now been dragged kicking and screaming to kick out video mea culpas to avert a dishonourable discharge from the Leftwaffe.

And getting sued. Someone’s bound to have a crack at a payout.

It’s naturally more embarrassing to have to apologise for the truth, but that is par for the course these days.

Game’s gone.

Let’s be clear – any top academic red-handed on the copy/paste is going to get rinsed, particularly if they are operating at the edgy end of an argument.

And this is that guy.

He craved media exposure, and, well, that’s what he got in bucketloads.

Stick your head above the parapet, and you’ll get it shot off.

Figures on the left and right get targeted, and the ones with their trousers down get mashed. It’s not a race thing. It’s the way it rolls.

I’m old enough to remember a Lib Dem MP sitting down to a hot lunch with two gigolos, and he never sloped off and choked himself with a turd.

Well, not intentionally anyway.

Shame on all these universities, though, farting out missives of support to staff and students if this tragedy ‘has affected them’.

I bet it has. 75% of them probably jettisoned their ChatGPT accounts on the spot.

One day, we’ll all wake up and start to live in the real world where bad stuff has consequences, and everybody reads logic from the same page.

Until then, our day of reckoning is a million miles away.
