@worstall You can check his mother’s address on the Companies’ House website.

[AusterityBlog @austerityblog]

@worstall No, they lived in Daley Thompson Way and he grew up there. His primary school was a 20 minute walk away.

@tlitb @GrumpyOW They all time travelled Enya as well

@danjohnsonhymns There have been many other cases. What was different here was how much fabricated biography he put out too. A reckoning was always going to come but it should have been colleagues acting behind closed doors. However he threatened litigation so often they couldn’t do this for him.

[AusterityBlog @austerityblog]

@johannesmkx The pivot was when Cambridge discovered he had publicly lied about one of his qualifications and two of his visiting professor posts. Falsifying qualifications and posts in academia generally has to lead to disciplinary action. The rug was pulled from under him psychologically.

@danjohnsonhymns Arday uniquely put enough individual life story claims out in the public domain to act later as a vast repository for recursive media stories, like a damburst. Similarly, the sheer scale of the problematic text in the PhD and data fabrication in papers were also unprecedented.

[AusterityBlog @austerityblog]

@danjohnsonhymns That’s inaccurate. One panel investigated whether his PhD should stand, and found due to extenuating circumstances and supervision shortcomings, it should. His work is currently subject to a number of ongoing investigations at other universities.

[AusterityBlog @austerityblog]

@afolagbenga @themoviedrill Yes, many can tell by then. More or less. But symptoms can overlap with pre menstrual syndrome.

@joe69599 @TrumpeldorZMC @BoycottGlazers @drhingram No, I can guarantee you categorically he was not cleared by Liverpool University, nor would he have been, because he never attended Liverpool University. He did a staff PhD while working at Liverpool *John Moores* University, transferring his staff registration over from Brunel.

@Giarcqk08 @Eve_Barlow He made north of £50k a year on top of his six figure salary from giving public talks, broadcasting, and mainstream publishing. Which bit of that isn’t “public”?!

[AusterityBlog @austerityblog]

@HarrietAnn40374 He wasn’t “slave descended”, his family was from Ghana, classified as a lower middle income country by the World Bank. His parents were a dual career, economic migrant couple, who moved to Britain in the 1980s to pursue careers as a chef and a social worker.

[AusterityBlog @austerityblog]

@ProfSunnySingh So you’d cite work even if it’s based on flawed science just to be political?

[AusterityBlog @austerityblog]

@joe69599 @TrumpeldorZMC @BoycottGlazers @drhingram No, at least two serious investigations pre-dating the Cofnas revelations are still ongoing.

[AusterityBlog @austerityblog]

@NiohBerg @kat72196 No. 2030 is going to be tough.

[AusterityBlog @austerityblog]

@SkaBritanniae @drianpace And a document disposal log.

[AusterityBlog @austerityblog]

@tlitb Check the hard copy on the shelf.
Do an FOI of the external examiner’s hard and digital copies of what she received.

@DBrown99944 Spencer is making the same category error as Edward Stafford in 1520 if he thinks his ancient line represents anything of importance.

[AusterityBlog @austerityblog]

@JennyAThatcher Except Jason Arday was hired in a corrupted process that discriminated against two women of colour who were more experienced and better qualified on the shortlist. The biased Ch4 report omits one of the most important underlying complications of the “culture war” narrative.

[AusterityBlog @austerityblog]

@RosaPetrovna @BarbaraRich_law Yes, lower middle class grade would be policemen, cashiers, bookkeepers, auxiliary nurses, etc. Upper middle class would be professionals with partner status and usually some family money.

@CeeEmCee3 @RinseHold @Rude712Ani @piotersan @BBCBreaking If he’d lived he would probably have been investigated by the police for gaining money by deception and charity fraud.
