It was such an amazing scam. I can't believe she actually got away with it too. Ridiculous grift.
Can’t believe farty Wayne left her shortly after the money did

I'm a little wary of directly blaming Giff, but there sounds like there's some sort of weird factitious situation going on here. I can see a situation where a young Jason struggled for a while with talking and perhaps literacy, for one reason or another, like many children do. He may well have had speech therapy, as many children and adults do for various reasons. The problems probably resolved themselves, as they often do when the correct help is provided, but someone got very attached to their special identity as the parent, carer or perhaps teacher of a Special Kid, and was reluctant to give it up.
I agree for the most part.
Years ago I knew a family where their young child had a rare and very aggressive cancer. They crowd funded for treatment that wasn't available on the NHS and thankfully it worked. That's the type of cause I can get behind, but the influx of people getting sick/dying on holiday, but were too tight to pay for travel insurance, not so much. Ditto funerals.
Totally agree. That's a totally unexpected expense that isn't even within the realms of most people's imagination. And I get it for funerals and stuff even to a point. It's so hard, the worst time of your life and you have to find x amount. But that's something everyone will have to do at some point and we aren't all pissing money, we just get into debt or we use what little savings we have or whatever.
I didn't have six grand hanging around to pay for my mum's funeral but six grand isn't £220k. One of her friends offered me £3k when I bumped into her in the supermarket and I said no because... Why am I taking money from people who have invariably had to pay for the same sort of tit themselves in their own lives? !
At the very least, the money should be in a trust fund for his kids.
He was on a decent salary. Unless there are bad debts we don't know about, which there could be, I suppose, there's got to be enough in his estate to pay for a funeral.
Well there's no indication of how he paid for all this education. I'd love to believe night shifts at Sainbos and as a cleaner covered it but I was still paying off my 2004 student (undergraduate only) debt in 2024 so I'm unconvinced.
was Jason chronically sleep deprived? I just can’t see how he could function with basic tasks with so much study/night shifts working etc.

is the link to a podcast about Dr Jessica Taylor. Excellent.
Anyway the first ten minutes they discuss Jason Arday and it is so sensible and wise. They are disgusted with the 'be kind' vultures and the calls to clamp down on the press and free speech for exposing a fraud.
Well worth a listen. A very good palate cleanser after the histrionics of Will Self and his ilk.

Well I think that depends on how you define racism.
1. As far as I can tell, Cofnas thinks there are genetic differences between different ethnic groups which show themselves in different areas of life eg athleticism, IQ, sociability.
2. However he doesn’t believe that races other than his own should be treated badly, or differently, or indeed as a homogeneous mass, because of it.
So the question of whether Cofnas is a racist depends on whether you define racism as 1 or 2 (or both). I would class racism as 2. But I’m old and that’s what I’ve always understood racism to be. It may mean something different now, in fact I suspect it does, but I genuinely don’t know what that is because it’s become such a huge, loaded term, that even the very term acts like a weapon to destroy people.
So yeah I think to agree or disagree that Cofnas is a racist I guess the term would have to be defined as to what it means in 2026
I’m with you — its meaning seems to have changed. I’ve always understood it to mean that everyone should be treated equally, regardless of the colour of their skin.
Nowadays the word is used to talk about unequal outcomes, historical disadvantage and structures, rather than only an individual’s attitude or behaviour. Hence the rationale for DEI.
I mean, there literally are stats that show a gap between the IQ test results between black and white people. But there's a conversation to be had about if the IQ test questions are culturally biased toward certain races etc, and if there really is a correlation between IQ test results and actual intelligence.
Its odd to see people saying that an over or under representation of a race necessarily means this is due to racism or ingroup favouring, especially as this argument usually only works one way (no one is saying that we need more white blokes in the England team so that it reflects the UK demographics.)
Especially as when it comes to gender, we easily accept genetic differences in body composition, prevalence to diseases etc. as well as representation in statistics.
No one's stupid enough (yet!) to suggest shutting down all the prisons as its institutionally sexist that men are more likely to be imprisoned/recieve longer sentences etc; and it should be 50% men, 50% women to reflect the UK.
Neither did any of the Arday supporters so offended at his 'digital lynching' consider that he and Cambridge were happy to take a role a black woman was in consideration for, and whoever she was, was undoubtedly more qualified for.

Well my understanding is that the biggest IQ gap is between white people and Asian people (Asian meaning Far East). I agree that it could be that IQ tests are biased; I guess that would either mean that Asian people set the tests or that they found a way to ace them or whatever.
Personally I think IQ is very far from being the only measure of intelligence. I think that EQ, good gut instinct, physical intelligence, these can be just as important and can lead to as good or better outcomes depending on what life path that individual is on. I mean like a plumber might not be a good reader but he might be awesome at knowing by touch and sound and experience why my toilet is blocked and fix it faster than another plumber. And in parts of the UK plumbers tend to out earn non-science graduates from non Russell unis. And they don’t have all that debt either. So, ya know. That’s smart.
Yeah those tests just show how good someone is at IQ tests. Now is there a correlation between high results and high (actual) intelligence?
Maybe?
I don't think people in STEM are forced to take IQ tests, and I'd say success in STEM fields is a better indicator than asking someone to correctly work out which set of triangles matches the swirly circles.
Yes I’d agree with this like someone designing aeroplanes and space rockets for NASA, or a brain surgeon- those people I think we would all agree are intelligent and we wouldn’t need their IQ scores to reach that conclusion
A friend of mine died a few years ago, and her daughter started a go fund me for the funeral, she also had people contribute money directly to her bank account towards the expenses. Anyway, it eventually came to light when she appeared in court, that she'd kept the money for herself.
Equally a lot of people like that are incredibly useless at mundane things, almost like they've no room for it. Or very good at weaponised incompetence. Who knows humans are complex and there is a wide variety of types of intelligence.
I've raised a few thousand pounds for charity over the years. JustGiving and other direct donation platforms are so easy to use, they sort out the Gift Aid, and the money goes directly to the charity. Anything purporting to be for charity where a person acts as a intermediary ("send the money to my PayPal and I'll do the rest,") is a massive red flag, and I won't donate under those circumstances. For something like funeral expenses, I'd try to send money direct to the funeral parlour. For legal expenses, I'd only donate via a crowd justice platform where the funds are secure and refunded if the case doesn't go ahead.
