Did he lie about his past? I’ve not seen any news report saying whether or not the accusations of him lying are true.

Cambridge messed up. Should have vetted him and his body of work before extending the job offer. British media is vicious … worse than it is here.

Non verbal doesn’t mean mute. It just means that speaking requires more cognitive energy… the British tabloids are disgusting
