    It is a perfect storm. We have a fantasist in an environment where,
    for political and social status reasons, everyone takes his claims at
    face value, or pretends that they do because to express doubt would be
    to invite unwanted attention. In such fertile ground the fantasistrCOs
    claims (which he continues to deny fabricating) inevitably become

    born rCo because he is increasingly secure that they will never be
    questioned. This is what inevitably occurs when a fantasist encounters
    people who want, for whatever reason, to believe his fantasies.

    It can be quite uncanny to see a fantasist at work. I once heard of a
    TV project that met for its first big production meeting. It was only
    then, after weeks of prep across different departments, that it
    gradually occurred to everybody that the show hadnrCOt actually been
    commissioned. The writer had just told everybody that it had. And
    theyrCOd wanted to believe.

    Arday himself can hardly be blamed for this scandal. Like Puff the
    magic dragon, he is notable only for the effect he had on others. Who
    would dare to speak up against a wunderkind that made a lot of
    powerful people feel better about themselves? Like love, mediocrity
    will always find a way. DEI is its great enabler, but this can never
    be acknowledged.

    Even now we can see the reluctance of ArdayrCOs cheerleaders to throw in
    the towel. LBCrCOs James OrCOBrien, for example, who at the height of
    ArdayrCOs fame nodded along to his rambling tosh, is currently fighting
    a desperate rearguard action, telling his Bluesky followers that the
    Telegraph and the Times have crossed the line into rCystudied [and]
    deliberate ignominyrCO with their Arday stories. I love how OrCOBrien goes >> all Victorian in his vocabulary on these occasions. He must think it
    makes him look very serious. He goes on, rCyIf there is any case to

    Like all of ArdayrCOs fans, OrCOBrienrCOs only remaining option is to throw >> murky aspersions of racism on the people who have revealed him to be

    And of course, OrCOBrien has form on this as long as your arm, with his
    enthusiastic vaunting of the claims of the fantasist and later
    convicted paedophile Carl Beech. In both cases, OrCOBrien wanted very
    badly to believe a very obvious fantasy.

    Such scandals can often be mistaken optimistically for an end to the
    whole shebang of-a progressive nonsense rCo for who could ever take them
    seriously again? But the roots of progressivism are too deeply
    embedded in the soil of public life. These hilarious exposures rCo see
    also Jussie Smollett rCo are not strong enough to dislodge them. The
    daring young man on the flying trapeze may fall to the ground with a
    splat, but the progressive circus is so big that it just moves on.

    People who want to believe are easy marks for the not-very-good and
    delusional. The Labour party is currently in the grip of just such a
    mania. Andy Burnham is only another kind of fantasist. According to
    him, after all, the big problems facing Britain in 2026 are Mrs
    Thatcher, SainsburyrCOs and not enough mayors. Is that really much less
    bizarre than ArdayrCOs claims? It feels a bit like herCOs pulled three
    things out of a hat. Another dip would have brought up unicycles,
    Toyah and not enough people called Steve. And on the right, enough
    people want to believe in Rupert Lowe as the next prime minister,
    despite his actual status as nothing much more than an electoral
    irritant to Reform.

    As Arday shows, we need safeguards against that common human failing:
    ignoring the truth in favour of what werCOd prefer to be real.

    According to leading AI writing detection software Pangram, Arday's resignation letter is "Fully AI Generated" with "High Confidence."

    it, are you even really trying??? cons act like there isn't rampant
    lying going on everywhere, cause they certainly ain't suggesting

    twice its size

    have no recorded race time anywhere because why bother
    have nobody in the ultra community ever hear of you

    tell a funeral directors' convention in New Orleans the ultras (no
    record again) raised -u5m

    have the Met say the whole account is categorically incorrect
    call it "a modern day lynching" on a podcast in Sept 2025
    give a keynote in April 2026 about a playbook conservatives use to
    hunt black academics
    get cleared in March 2026 by a panel you asked to weigh the "war on critical race theory"
    blame the copied text on autistic mimicry & on a supervisor who left &
    one you never even met
    turn 600 miles in six days into twelve days
    get Solent to delete the running claims
    get 13,000 signatures & three Cambridge college heads to vouch for
    text they never read
    have Cambridge call it a "vile smear campaign"
    have a ghostwritten memoir to be released August 27
    watch people still stand for you because you're black

    i mean have u seen our president dud? none of these really compare, so

    NOTHING TO SEE HERE MOVE ALONG PLEASE


    what is there to see here that you actually have any answers for?

    It's all about Jason Arday and the book he wrote, like the paper
    you're writing, Nick:

    get diagnosed autistic at 3
    claim non-verbal until 11
    claim partial deafness in one ear & being taught to sign
    claim you couldn't read until 18, but still leave school w/ two GCSEs >>> -a>claim joining pro snooker tour at 10, one year before you could speak >>> -a>claim you came out of a football academy & played professionally
    claim you were on Seven Up, a series that tracked a group of seven
    year olds as they grew up, airing first 21 years before you were born
    have the BBC confirm you weren't on the show because not time
    traveller
    claim 30 marathons in 35 days, the last 9 on a broken leg swollen
    to twice its size
    claim to have run 600 miles in six days, when the men's record is 650 >>> -a>have no recorded race time anywhere because why bother
    have nobody in the ultra community ever hear of you
    say -u5.5m raised for 70+ charities by 2024
    tell a funeral directors' convention in New Orleans the ultras (no
    record again) raised -u5m
    submit a 401-page PhD on reflective practice w/ 100+ passages
    matching another student's 2009 thesis
    have 188 sentences come back identical or near identical, odds
    carry over her copy-editing errors
    get the PhD anyway
    lift quotes into papers & present them as interviews you conducted
    yourself
    get a full chair at Glasgow by 2021
    get Cambridge at 37, youngest black professor in 900 years
    guest edit the Today programme
    collect honorary degrees from Solent, Anglia Ruskin & St Mary's
    have a Cambridge autism professor circulate rCLURGENT PLEASE SIGN

    write to a minister claiming knife threats, assault, spitting, rape
    & death l threats, bananas, bullets in the post, corrosive substances
    & mutilated animals

    claim a masked man w/ a knife cornered you in the faculty twice
    appear on no CCTV either time
    tell nobody AT THE TIME
    claim a severed pig's head arrived at your parents' house
    claim police traced it to a butcher who sold a rCLwhole hog" that
    morning
    have the butcher say no officer ever came in
    have the Met say the whole account is categorically incorrect
    call it "a modern day lynching" on a podcast in Sept 2025
    give a keynote in April 2026 about a playbook conservatives use to
    hunt black academics
    get cleared in March 2026 by a panel you asked to weigh the "war on

    blame the copied text on autistic mimicry & on a supervisor who
    left & one you never even met
    turn 600 miles in six days into twelve days
    get Solent to delete the running claims

    text they never read
    have Cambridge call it a "vile smear campaign"
    have a ghostwritten memoir to be released August 27
    watch people still stand for you because you're black

    i mean have u seen our president dud? none of these really compare, so
    it's laughable that you are about some random-ass academic

    So, I guess it goes without saying that nobody on this board can compare
    to all your accomplishments. That being said, what happened to the
    academic paper you wrote?

    It's all about Jason Arday and the book he wrote, like the paper
    you're writing, Nick:

    get diagnosed autistic at 3
    claim non-verbal until 11
    claim partial deafness in one ear & being taught to sign
    claim you couldn't read until 18, but still leave school w/ two >>>>>> GCSEs

    have no recorded race time anywhere because why bother

    carry over her copy-editing errors
    get the PhD anyway
    lift quotes into papers & present them as interviews you
    conducted yourself
    get a full chair at Glasgow by 2021
    get Cambridge at 37, youngest black professor in 900 years
