In the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him to become 'head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard'.

Rupert Lowe: 'It is a fact that by 2063, white British people will be a minority on current trends. I don't think anyone disputes that.' It is massively disputed and is not remotely a fact, coming as it does from the Matt Goodwin school of demographic analysis (i.e. it's total rubbish).
