Not to the level this guy was. And this all started with an “academic” who was kicked out of Cambridge for his eugenicist views.

It’s a fucking astonishing angle on the story.
John Moores upheld its decision to award him a doctorate and found no evidence of plagiarism within his doctorate.
There were even allegations that he made up being non-verbal as a child. That’s a matter of medical record.
It has all the hallmarks of a witch-hunt, and he broke under the pressure. Even if he was under-qualified for the role at Cambridge, he wouldn’t be the first person a University has appoint to a tenure a bit too lacking in experience. I hate to say it, but he would not have got this level of sustained harassment if he were white.

Strange specimen that one
Whilst I understand and accept that the Western world has a lot to be held accountable for in modern history, I just find it a very narrow minded view point and fails to take into consideration other factors.
How many asylum applications are listed as a “result of stuff we (UK), the US and other nations have done” probably none.
I see a lot of people wanting to move on the grounds of fear of persecution in their home countries, or financially.
In fact, I am sure there was a Report recently of people playing the system by pretending to be homosexual and therefore scared of persecution. So who is at fault here? The UK for becoming or at least trying to be more accepting of people living a life that makes them happy or a Country that gained independence and still holds dated views?
As I say, yes, the “Western” world needs to be accepting of its history and its wrongs and be held to some accountability. But, it cant blamed for everything wrong in the world and other Countries bad practice.

Well there were a lot from Afghanistan which we certainly were culpable for. Looking at the last year, around half of asylum claims were from people who entered on visas. I can’t determine whether their asylum claims came immediately on arrival or when their visas were about to expire and they were trying it on.
If someone is trying to gain access to the country for nefarious reasons, the asylum system is probably the worst way to do it.

Look I don’t want to take sides here or offend, but I do agree with Jaffod’s and other posters experiences when communicating/debating with you and this is not solely a Politics based observation.
I like you, I like our debates even if we go round and round in circles. I respect your passion and belief and your right to have a view. However, I do feel it is one way.
If I had the time I could provide a number of instances where you have failed to accept you were wrong, posted something incorrectly, apologised for your tone resorted to telling the other poster they make no sense, etc.
Jaffod has, even in the heat of a debate back tracked and acknowledged an error in his arguement. We all make errors and that does not define his or anyone else’s arguement.
A sticking point I do have with yourself, is the position in which you judge the rest of the UK with. From the bits I have picked up from you, you have had a successful career and rightly afforded yourself the nicety of living in a nice part of the Country.
So, you need to understand that your observations, perceptions, the people you speak to may not correlate with other posters lived situation/experience. Additionally, other posters who have observations which don’t fall in line with your views should not be dismissed or stereotyped.
I am in no way disagreeing with you. The problem is that both sides seem to view the discussion from completely opposite ends of the Spectrum failing to consider the multiple factors in between.
I think I actually saw a statistic that people entering the country illegally were more likely to have their application accepted.
I have no issue with anyone entering any Country with good intentions, but there has to be parameters on it and also a system that is able to and allowed to determine genuine applications.
Unfortunately, with most situations you are going to have a bad egg for every good egg.
