One side is all the people who have wronged Jason, the other side is a list of positions briefly held, but left because reasons.

No
but I've "heard of" instances where even fairly narrowly focused PhD proposals have been told they need to be more specific. I really think he was just waved through everything with kid gloves because of his made up backstory, and threats of racism accusations.
This.
It's very noticeable with narcs that they cannot stand having the piss taken out of themselves, however gently. They may play along that they are "dead mad me, hahaha what am I like??!!" (see Jack Monroe, Alice Evans) but if anyone else tries to laugh at them it is a mortal injury.
As Prof N. T. Babes points out, most normal people and many celebs have tons of stories where they've done something silly, or make themselves the butt of the joke. Not these narcs, not ever.
Catching up. Thanks for all the screenshots of the toe-curlingly awful writing. I've read my share of self-published autobiographies written by acquaintances (ultramarathoners and triathletes with a history of addiction or minor delinquency all seem to think they've got a book inside them, and most of those books should have stayed there) and this one was a million times worse. It put me in mind of tail walking a parkrun in the company of a rather odd chap who regaled me for an hour with humourless tales of how he'd got one over on people he perceived as having done him a bad turn.
I’ve been in education for years, especially SEND. There’s a lot of words here that don’t actually mean much!
it’s quite a feat speaking for 5 minutes and not saying anything.
You can watch Jase and Chantelle in action here:
Chantelle is a research fellow at Oxford and appears cut from the same cloth as our Jase. Very weak academic background, trading in the same word salad. They made a big deal of donating the £20k advance they got for their book to charity
Oxford and Cambridge academics to give £20,000 book advance to charities
Prof Jason Arday and Dr Chantelle Jessica Lewis will support neuro-divergent working-class families.

Their generosity has never been mentioned again. And given that a charity supporting nd wc families is not going to be overwhelmed with cash, you’d expect them to be singing from the rooftops. But nope, crickets
Why are they all so tedious? Obsessed with expensive things, weird vendettas, and their own banal, completely average tastes? Are they scared to be ordinary?
Anyway, what a lovely thread now we don't get real time chaos elsewhere

At this point it's like watching blood leak from underneath a locked door.
An old version of him being waterboarded by prof 1 and 2, and what was published. No way his editor didn't know it was all rit.
No chit chat, no preamble.
Very poor form that the examiners didn't kick off with a little sing song.
Doctor, Doctor we can see you're yearning, yearning.
Oh Doctor, Doctor this work be revealing.
Mum and we, to make achieve,
Prof at top University

Where was the original version found?
My PhD viva was three and a half hours of brutal destruction of every single part of my thesis. As it should be.
X independent journo Ben Ryan obtained a proof submission of JA book.
Apparently from the galley manuscript doing the rounds in January.
More people who knew him back in the day saying similar quiet but not non verbal and someone says if there was a non verbal child in the school they all would have known it would have been talked about especially back when they didn't really mainstream kids. I have to say the bit in the book where he says he was in a special school and his Mum got him removed from that at age 7 and sent to the mainstream school, thats a terrible Mother considering he finished primary school illiterate and not able to write, whereas a special school might have helped him if those things were actually true
" “We had children who couldn’t speak English in our class at that time,” she says, and everybody knew who they were. “There was nothing like [a mute pupil]. It would have stood out.” "

In fact all his mothers interventions seem to have done nothing for him, in spite of all of her education she spent hours helping him to read as a teenager and nothing, yet the girlfriend with a few months of primary teaching manages it

Oh my GOD he is a crushingly boring speaker.it’s quite a feat speaking for 5 minutes and not saying anything.

I'm still absolutely mind blown by just how much of a trope every person Jason encounters.
His strong black mother, formidable, endlessly sacrificing, spiritually wise, dispensing lessons that will later prove prophetic
The working class Northerner, uncomplicated, warm, hardworking, initially culturally sheltered, possessed of homespun wisdom and instinctively able to recognise Jason's goodness despite having never seen a mythical brown person before! (in the port city of Liverpool)
The violent attackers, lives changed through sheer proximity to Jason.
The racist/ableist figure, unusually cruel and unequivocal, there to underestimate Jason so that subsequent events can vindicate him and his unique specialness.
And poor old Debs, the supportive wife, there to do nothing but facilitate Jason's dreams (and genes, apparently) while achieving zero internal life of her own. What Jason sees in her beyond how useful she can be to him, apparently he didn't think was worth mentioning.
Thank god he hasn't encountered an Irish person.
“Ah Jason,” Mrs O'Flaherty said, her wise emerald eyes glistening as she placed a weathered hand upon my arm. “Sure, isn't the highest mountain climbed one wee step at a time?”
The next chapter he summits Everest in heyween his commute from London to Glasgow and is home in time to cure his ma's glaucoma.

His lies laid out in the latter part of this article is devastating. It's interesting that others say the family were quiet and polite, the impression I get of Giff is a loud woman, maybe I'm wrong. His parents must be devastated, and his siblings, his parents raised four children who've all done well and avoided all the pitfalls of their rough area, that's an achievement they should be proud of, now he's made them all infamous.More people who knew him back in the day saying similar quiet but not non verbal and someone says if there was a non verbal child in the school they all would have known it would have been talked about especially back when they didn't really mainstream kids.
