Topic: "Professor" Jason Arday
1. Author:  Bletchley_Par        
Date: Thu 6th Aug 2026. 04:57

Ran 30 marathons in 35 days (including with a broken/hairline-fractured leg).

Ran 300 miles in 3 days.

Ran 600 miles in 6 days (later revised to 12 days).

Personally raised £5–5.5 million for charity.

Appeared as a child in the Seven Up! documentary series.

Nonverbal until age 11. learned to read and write at 18.

Visiting professor at University of Glasgow (and other institutions that denied it).

Installed water points in South America and West Africa with WaterAid.

Scored the winning goal for Dunfermline at Ibrox in 1972.

Targeted by a masked knife-wielding intruder, severed pig’s head delivery, bullets, bananas, corrosive substances, and other extreme threats/assaults.

Recruited 32 minority students from 14 universities for two focus groups. performed inductive thematic analysis producing original quotes (later corrected after matching prior work).


The bizarre thing is Arday is a King amongst fools at these academic institutions, how could they possibly have believed this guff?

He`s a great professor. Some people say he`s the greatest professor that there has ever been.

Oh, and he`s just about got a deal with Iran sorted. He just needs to get down the bookies first and bet on a falling oil price.

Always wondered what happened to Jay from the Inbetweeners when he grew up.

Is this the guy who said his dad was German to Angela Merkel and said that he was top of his class at Wharton, or is this a different guy?

I wonder what the difference is that allows you to accept the fantasies of one man, but not the other?

If by "except" you mean "believe" then I don`t.

I admire Jason`s grift, he must have immense personal charm to carry off the con he has, it`s the loonies who actually believed him due to their politics that are the issue here.

Arday has got to be the best paid mascot ever.

It seems obvious that the wokeratti at Cambridge were so determined to burnish their DEI credentials that they stupidly believed all the bs Arday claimed without conducting any due diligence.
How stupid these eggheads look.
When you look objectively at all his claims both academically and socially he’s clearly a fantasist.

I said "accept" not "except" but that`s besides the point.

I refer you to my previous post.

For the record, I think that both are the sort of people who are making this world the distrustful hellscape that it has been dragged into. Conning the gullible isn`t something to be proud of, it`s really easy if you are a sociopath.

That you blame the folk who were conned rather than the con artist seems like engaging in mental gymnastics to hide the fact that you are allowing your politics to make a hypocrite of you.

It also seems like you are, possibly inadvertently, blaming Trump voters for the mess they are in.

Yes, I`m blaming the well educated, middle class education and lanyard classes that let this continue.

There are now a string of universities and educational institutions that have to defend their lack of due diligence on this matter.

They cant be that well educated if they were that easily duped.

They do say that these places aren’t about the education, but about the opportunities afforded to those that can afford to attend.

Suppose thats been shown in our politicians over the years……

A lot of them are worked bloody hard Dave.

And they are a competitive bunch.... classmates very happy to stab each other in the back. The egos appear to be a big problem as they are all coming from being right at the top through all of their education and then quite a few of them realise that they aren`t just not top dog, but are struggling to keep up.

I can actually see why they might want some younger professors in as some of the academic staff can be absolutely ancient and they might have the experience, but the energy levels must be a challenge.

I think the basic issue is this.

The University seems to operate on a high trust system.

We no longer live in a high trust society.

"Normal" folk like us dot-netters know we no longer live in a high trust society and know his claims are ludicrous at first glance due to lived experience.

"Normal" folk are dismissed out of hand, we are all the "ists" and the "isms" for doing so.

The Education classes wanted this to be true.

I think part of the problem though, like Wotsit alludes to, is that the notional leader of the free world continually lies and the poorly educated that he so loves and exploits lap it up. So if that is someone at the very top doing this then that is going to permeate through society.
Just last week you had Trump pulling a hissy because one of his district attorney`s refused to prosecute some guy on a bogus vandalism charge. Instead of just accepting that their was no basis to the charge Trump just tells more lies and unfortunately enough people lap it up. It`s one thing to be duped but when truth bends to power then we`re on the road to ruin. That`s a road we don`t want to be on because when people can`t tell potus that, "sir you`d didn`t get a birdie on that hole" then what else will they just agree with him on?

Latest from Cambridge Uni is they`ve made Trump their Chancellor on the basis of him being "The best leader ever. The greatest actually. No leader has ever come close."

Yeah Jake, Ipswich already told that one at the start of the thread.

I do feel sorry for Jason, probably the biggest downfall since Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. I hope he is safe and well and ready to face up to his actions at some point, I think there could be a path to redemption for him.

Fortunately he has his footballing, snooker and running careers to fall back on.

The BBC`s first 4 articles on this subject were hilariously bad, 2 of them got community noted and were "updated" frequently with a drip, drip of his ridiculous claims on each update.

They seemed more intent on attacking the work of Nathan Cofnas, who they accredited as exposing Arday as a fraud (it was actually author Simon Webb 3 years ago) than actually doing journalism.

Eventually they had to bring in researchers from other news departments because the ideologically captured hacks at the BBC "education" like Vicky Wong were incapable of covering this story.

The Guardian has covered this pretty well, but I think that`s because they are really pizzed off at being hoodwinked by Arday in previous coverage.
