The celebrity Cambridge education professor Jason Arday, whose rags-to-riches memoir from Simon & Schuster lands August 11, has repeatedly lied about his charitable fundraising prowess, 16 years of records reviewed by the Free Beacon show—and the publishing house is stealthily editing his biography in an effort to clean up...

The Free Speech Union is taking an interest in the story of Jason Arday for a number of reasons. First, we want to know who paid for the threatening letter from the law firm Carter-Ruck — effectively a SLAPP — that was sent to Times Higher Education in an attempt to get journalist Jack Grove to stop asking Professor Arday questions about his academic record. Was it Jason Arday himself? The University of Cambridge? Or the Good Law Project? Second, we want to know who reported both the academic and former professor David Harris and Times Higher Education journalist Jack Grove to the police, alleging harassment after they began asking Arday questions about his academic and extracurricular record. In David Harris’s case, the Metropolitan Police referred the complaint to Devon and Cornwall Police, which rightly decided there was nothing to investigate. But in Jack Grove’s case, he was contacted by the police and informed that he had been the subject of a four-month investigation by the Met. While officers said they would be taking no further action, he was told he should refrain from questioning Jason Arday again because it was also affecting Arday’s mental health. The police should never be telling journalists whom they can and cannot question — particularly when there are legitimate questions that need answering. Powerful people should not be able to use the police to silence journalists and academics who are simply asking questions and doing their jobs. The Free Speech Union has written to Sir Mark Rowley, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, to ask what on earth his officers were playing at. He has yet to reply. If Jason Arday was the person who reported these individuals to the police, that is one thing. But if it was the University of Cambridge, that would be even more serious — and is something FSU General Secretary Lord Young will be raising in Parliament in due course. Watch Lord Young below 👇

The people behind Professor Arday - and the racism row over the academic whistleblower. Jason Arday is the barrel I can’t stop scraping. This week, more footage has emerged to cast doubt on his fantastical claims. A former school friend of his says that Jason was not only able to speak, but he was able to maintain an acapella harmony. And a clip from Surprise Surprise had his girlfriend reeling off his achievements while Jason sweats listening to the bullshit piling up. None of the evidence mounting against him has stopped the usual suspects from rushing to the trenches to defend him. Dr Shola Mos-Eisley-Cantina-bing-bong accused everyone of racism. She could be the next diversity academic to be scrutinised. Bus station tramp James O’Brien put down the bottle of cooking sherry long enough to tell us that only a racist would question Arday - unwittingly making an excellent case for racism, as he implies they’re the only people brave enough to pursue the truth. Nathan Cofnas, an academic who broke rank to ask awkward questions about Professor Arday, was indeed accused of racism for doing so. Journalist Dan Neidle asked “Why was the Jason Arday story broken by a racist blogger and not the mainstream press?”, a question that answers itself (anyone who broke the story would be accused of being a racist blogger by you, Dan). And who were the academics who propelled Professor Arday to such an improbable position? His boss at Cambridge, Hilary Cremin, doesn’t seem to have a professional relationship with him. She holds his hands, stares into his eyes, and gushes over him in a way we wouldn’t see if Jason was a 55-year-old white professor with male-pattern baldness and spectacles. Other academics on the board that unanimously selected him seem to have their own racism problem, condemning “whiteness”, which they described as “pernicious”, and calling for the “re-education of whites”. Haven’t we had enough re-education already? The appointment of Professor Arday, and the condemnation of Nathan Cofnas as “racist” for correctly questioning his appointment, point to a bigger problem in academia where the truth is ignored in favour of expedient ideology. Nathan has researched race science - such landmines as the distribution of IQ by demographic group and the heritability of IQ - and has been condemned for it. It’s academia’s flat-earth belief. No amount of evidence will convince them to drop the mantra that we’re all absolutely equal when it comes to IQ. (I’m being a bit unfair to flat-earthers here because at least the earth looks flat up close.) Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner explicitly states on stage: even if proponents of hereditarian views on intelligence (whom he refers to as “the bad guys”) are correct, “life is short, and we have to make choices about how we spend our time...even if the scientific evidence doesn’t support it.” Yeah, who needs such outmoded ideas as scientific evidence? Certainly not the academic community, that’s for sure.

🤨 Race-baiting GRIFTER Narinder Kaur is at it again! Jeremy Vine asks her about the Jason Arday scandal — the Cambridge professor whose career has collapsed under mountains of plagiarism, fabricated research, and a life story so full of wild exaggerations it borders on parody. Her response? “He’s not the first to have plagiarised. He’s not the first to have lied. He’s not the first to have exaggerated.” Jeremy: “That’s not a good defence.” Narinder: “It is actually, because the level of reaction. The level of unhinged reaction that I’ve seen in this country, can only mean one thing to me. It’s because he’s a black professor.” There it is. The race card, played on autopilot. Arday’s record includes extensive PhD plagiarism, fabricated research data and academic affiliations, claims of raising £5.5 million for charity, near-professional snooker success (one recorded amateur loss) and semi-pro football, ultra-running feats like 600 miles in six days and 30 marathons in 35 days (some after a broken leg and epileptic fit), being non-verbal until 11, a pig’s head sent to his parents, and attacks by knife-wielding masked intruders. This is one of the most egregious cases of academic and biographical inflation in history! Most people looking at the evidence simply call it what it is. Narinder can’t. Because the man is Black, criticism must be “unhinged racism”. She does this constantly: any pointed criticism of a Black public figure is reframed as racial animus, while she herself is permanently fixated on race, constantly dividing people by colour and treating disagreement as evidence of bigotry. No one is more obsessed with race than the person who sees it in every disagreement. When the evidence of plagiarism, invention and exaggeration is this extensive and public, the honest response is to condemn the conduct. Turning it into “you’re only angry because he’s Black” is not analysis. It’s cynical race-baiting that excuses clear wrongdoing to protect a preferred narrative.

How could naturally skeptical journalists like James O'Brien & Krishnan Guru-Murthy be taken in by Jason Arday? They were mesmerised by the tale of a black boy who had overcome adversity It’s the virtue-signalling equivalent of train spotters who get excited seeing the Flying Scotsman For journalists like James O’Brien & Krishnan Guru-Murthy -- and woke academics in Cambridge and up and down the country -- Arday was their Flying Scotsman. Arday ticked every box: race ✔️ poverty ✔️ neurodivergent ✔️ illiterate ✔️ unorthodox childhood ✔️ He was the virtue signaller’s poster boy. The identity politics bingo card in human form. To see seasoned journalists, trained to detect the faintest whiff of BS, uncritically accept the bold boasts of their interviewee reveals the devastating, mind-addling effect of ideological capture - dare I say, brainwashing. Of course, people like James O’Brien have form here. Remember, O’Brien was a great champion of the convicted paedophile Carl Beech, the vile fantasist who claimed various upstanding public figures were involved in unspeakable crimes. O’Brien’s personal biases clearly cloud his judgement. O'Brien's hubris prevents him from ever acknowledging his errors. And so, even though others who have previously defended Arday have quietly removed their support (most recently the black president of Wolfson College) O'Brien remains chained to the foundering HMS Jason. What these people - and the rest of the woke establishment - don't realise, is that they are being unforgivably racist. Any white professor facing similar accusations to Arday would have been pilloried and investigated long ago. Cambridge normally has a zero tolerance attitude towards plagiarism - yet it refuses to re-examine this professor's credentials. Arday’s race is the reason the progressive left have become his Praetorian Guard. They are holding Arday to a lower standard because he is black. Surely that is, by definition, racist.
