![Screengrab Matt Goodwin wiki: After leaving the University of Kent, Goodwin wrote non-academic books, including the self-published Suicide of a Nation: Immigration, Islam, Identity, 39)[40) which was panned by critics, such as Ben Sixsmith, Andy Twelves and Mic Wright, for its style, lack of references and because it contained fabricated quotes (from Cicero, Friedrich Hayek, Roger Scruton, Livy, Noah Webster, James Burnham and Walker Connor). 41][42|43) Twelves and Wright speculated Goodwin used generative Al chatbot ChatGPT to write the book, with the chatbot hallucinating the quotes. [41][43][44] Two of the twelve footnotes in the book contained ChatGPT source information in the references' URLs. 42][43] The incident led to the nickname
"MattGPT" for Goodwin. 40] While Sixsmith didn't think
Goodwin used Al, he said the book "might as well have been" written by Al given that, in his opinion, it has been "written in the humourless and colourless rhetorical style of Al". 43] He added that Suicide of a Nation "is a very bad book" that "reads like the book of a political operator extending his CV" 43] Goodwin admitted having used Al to obtain data sets, saying he "cross-checked [them] with the original source". 4145) Later, Twelves wrote it appeared Goodwin's book contained fabricated reports, suggesting they had also been invented by Al, and that reports that did exist contradicted the book's thesis.
He criticised Goodwin for having lost his academic rigour. 146] Tim Montgomerie, one of Goodwin's Reform UK colleagues, said Goodwin should be investigated by the party and removed from its candidates list if it transpired he had used Al to write his book. 47] Following a debate with Twelves on GB News, Goodwin's GB News colleagues ridiculed him, including him in a section titled "Triggered Tantrums". 48]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wtqvq22rjipjac62zbtqbdbg/bafkreihxfm3nucuzyoeukjjo5355pzzlzxxwcdoytkrakqw7zm52cfvvmi)
![Screengrab quote from the wiki page of Right Said Fred- lead singer Richard Fairbrass:
“Fairbrass was hospitalised with COVID-19 in 2021, but has spoken out against COVID-19 measures and has been sceptical of the COVID-19 vaccine.[15]
Fairbrass has routinely commented on the 2022 war in Ukraine, often speaking in support of Russia's invasion and Vladimir Putin's justifications for the conflict. In a Twitter post in December 2022, he called on Putin to resist "western domination".[16] He has also described Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian government as a despotic regime [17]
