Am looking at this on my phone. On screen on the right are those participants who are presumably online. In green circle top right is a Dr Gifty.

I mean, she has five degrees so it’s highly possible it’s sainted Ma. Even if she doesn’t have a PhD or an MD. Still-illiterate Jase was named a “Professor” at 18 while on the BTEC with Sandro and working in the sports shop that sold the biggest sports brands such as Adidas, Nike and Reebok and being stealth-taught to read by Debs, after all
Think given the subject matter and venue it’s more likely to be Dr. Gifty Edila tho? https://www.innertemple.org.uk/celebrating-diversity-at-the-bar/gifty-edila/

Did he ever get any recurrence of the grand mal seizures? It seems almost miraculous that someone who claimed not to sleep more than a few hours a night could also control his epilepsy given lack of sleep is such a major trigger
The next time seizures are mentioned is years later when he has his brain tumor right before his viva, when his TIA isn’t one of his ‘usual’ ones.
He says that’s why (in case he has another TIA) Sandro has to drive him, spend every waking moment with him and sleep in the room as him when they go to Liverpool for his viva 3 weeks later.
From a transcript of one of his inspirational talks
Who knew the “a way” would be a weirdly enmeshed Brazilian BTEC PE Tutor whacking a man (who’d less than five weeks before been operated on for a brain tumor and a mere three weeks before this day had suffered and been hospitalized with a TIA, resulting in memory loss) hard across the jib.
That's something that only ever happens in fiction. I bet that's a scene from Rocky or something.
He's not even a clever liar, not really.

It's almost like he feared failing the viva so had excuses lined up. First the brain surgery and then the mini stroke. I assume neither medical issue is substantiated. He knew he was winging it.
Like his co-author probably the best Chantelle Lewis?
“academically the best” Chantelle seems to know a lot more about the central thesis of and manifesto from the book they co-wrote than Jase does.
Quite. No rectal Diapezam or Buccal Midazolapam prescribed?
On reflection he gives himself away all the time, almost waiting for it to fall apart.
Ahem. It’s the medically prescribed standard treatment for recent brain surgery patients suffering TIAs and ‘short term’ memory loss of the entirety of the last 2.5 years they spent researching and writing a Doctoral thesis.
Jase and Sandro saw it in a documentary they watched- about Torquay.
tit a brick!!! Look at this about his viva that was removed/changed from the draft version!!! And Arday even admits himself in that inspirational talk that it made no original contribution and that he only wrote it on what he did cos his supervisory told him it would pass.

ETA: His publisher being very careful to make clear Arday was fully involved in all stages of the researching, writing and corroborating process too.

Him describing Lewis as 'the best operator in academia' is an interesting choice of words.

I've been thinking about when he said, "to be honest I thought you'd just believe me" to the Guardian journalist, and actually I don't think it's unsophisticated at all.
It's a ridiculous thing for someone in his profession and of such a standing to say - academic work requires all manner of references, citations and sources. It's the sort of thing a naive (or guilty!) teenager would say - and that's why it makes perfect sense.
He's manipulated people throughout his life by presenting himself as an unthreatening, desperately helpless person, even as being under attack. His usual go-tos - illness or disability - probably wouldn't have worked in the interview situation, so he tried youthful naivety instead. In the video of his talk on the previous page, he was (successfully) schmoozing everyone at first opportunity.
Also, the first thing he talked about was how everyone was dressed. He later mentioned he named his daughter Taylor (sp?) after his love of tailoring. Why didn't he go into fashion etc.? Not academic enough to compete with the rest of his family?

Did he and Jack Monroe ever meet each other? The familial jealousy and attempted one-upmanship sounds so familiar.
And vivas are meant to be terrifying. I never finished my PhD so I never had one, but my colleagues, who were about 95% white, all found them very difficult. The examiners are meant to grill you.
Given he loved his film references, surely it must have been that documentary about the airliner...?
Exactly. He did the same thing with the Times. As you say, ridiculous.
Spent much of his life being protected from answering to his bull, and or surrounded by people who insesintly lie, sure did a number on Jace.
He seems shocked that anyone would ever question anything he said and put it down to discrimination rather than accept people are allowed to question things said to them.

His mother (according to him, and he repeats it over and over) constantly telling him how wonderful he was didn’t do him any favors either
pretty grim that (according to him, anyway) he attempted to pass that utter horseshit on to his own children
That last quote is spot on you know. I wonder where he got it?
That’s why I think it’s unsophisticated! It sounds like an older child out of their depth so chucking in the truth because thats all they’ve got.
It’s a desperate move more than a narc “well of course you should believe what I say, I’m a professor, an academic/hot/good looking/rich/famous, I don’t know why the police are saying that, they are quite racist themselves…” etc
