147: The Deadly Persecution of Dr Jason Arday

Jack preps an episode for Daniel about the sinister, unhinged, bloodthirsty persecution of Dr Jason Arday in the depraved UK media, which led to his tragic death.  The real story leads us through Nathan Cofnas, 'race realist', back to a network of reactionaries and racists connected via Cambridge and loads of Thiel money.
