@LulaLulaGT@9MonoNoAware@PaulEmbery If you lie on an application for a role it can be a criminal matter. My understanding is he falsely claimed to be a visiting professor of a College in the US when applying - Fraud Act 2006. Whether it would pass the public interest test for prosecution is another question.
@Mr_Excelsior78@PaulEmbery Probably not a bad idea but I fear years of middle class academics stating his ‘experiences’ are amazing and valid has somewhat distorted his version of reality.
@9MonoNoAware@PaulEmbery Sorry, I’m saying it should be a Police matter now and not trial by media. Hardly a softly softly approach. I’m well aware how serious this is but many journalists (not saying Paul) are now stoking this up for good copy.
@dxsowerby@PaulEmbery The consequence for me is now a legal process (potentially fraud). Having the world’s media rip you to shreds for nearly a week is not proportionate. I have no sympathy for the action and actually feel
the blame also lies with all those who facilitated this fantasy.
@thetimes One of two very Smug articles in The Times today “look at me with my friends in the Hamptons”… alongside “aren’t I so much better than you with my bilingual kids”.
@XchekaSnowball@simonmontefiore That’s my point - the police don’t accuse anyone. A member of the public makes the accusation, the police are duty bound to investigate the complaint. In this case someone has alleged harassment which is an offence.
@chrisnash23 Becoming an even bigger issue as clubs go under. As a player in a rural league, games/entire seasons are now massively skewered if one team has that ‘star’. Puts off the casual player who doesn’t want to face 75mph bowling or go for 25 runs an over.
