" Recently, I met an old school friend who is a professor at a prestigious UK university. When I told him about my work on PhD appeals, he said that he occasionally examines PhDs but never fails them, no matter how awful. When I asked him why, he said that failed students inevitably appeal and that life was too short to waste time responding to complaints. "

I know, right - in Liverpool. LIVERPOOL!

Which has oldest Black community in Britain, dating back to the 1730s (according to Wikipedia - off to report myself for plagiarism).

But yes, he was SPECIAL! And everyone would see it one day . . .
Can someone tell me what he wrote about Liverpool? I cant bring myself to actually read too much for fear I will cringe so hard, i will disappear up my own hole. Thanking you

This "private person finds it very uncomfortable to talk about himself," he wrote, in his autobiography.

How tit was the factchecker of this nonsense. In the book the visit to the homeless shelter happens after he starts his course, has already met Sandro and Deb so is 18/19 when it happens in the book not 17 like that fundraising page.

Also in the book when he embarks on his 30 in 35, he doesn't mention hes ever done a marathon before, his only training for it is running 80 miles a week in the dead of night to prepare. He has a job, is doing a masters and has a very young child at home and decides to do this too. I know there are some people who make extra hours in the day but hes the most absent Father since his own Father who is barely mentioned in the book apart from working a lot.

The majority of the students were white working class and they were fascinated by him as they had likely never been taught by a black person before. He learned all their names and facts about them like what cereals they liked, their middle names etc and would pepper these through any conversations he had with them.

In spite of Liverpool being full of hard working loving people and then he lists musicians, his neighbours on Penny lane were less fascinated and on during the first week he moved in called the police and report a black man has broken into the building. The police politely knock on his apartment door and tell him.

So basically hearts of gold and racism

This also doesn't ring true. Not in Liverpool, of all places.

Maybe the neighbours heard him making noisy love to his own reflection, or something.

Oh aye, we're all salt of the earth working class dipshits in the North, never seen a black person before! Especially not in a bleeping port city. Famously lacking in diversity!

Liverpool is home to Britain's oldest black community. Surprising that a man so interested in race politics wouldn't know that.

The whole thing is so mawkish, it's unreadable. Pages and pages of, "and everybody clapped and cheered!"

He shakes the hands of all his students as they leave his lectures - something he's always done. as per the attachment _053 😬

Granted I'm not the most tactile person but omg this is weird. What about cultural sensitivities? Germs!

And he bragged about learning 3 to 5 things about his students ... surely that would happen anyway? I pick up things from my students just by osmosis, I don't need to try, and if I told one of my colleagues I know things about my pupils, they'd be like, "um, yeah?"

The very fact that he said he learns things about his students, makes me think the opposite. I bet he was very self-centred, he didn't care about or pay attention to them,they were just props to him.
