Jason Arday

Being outside the UK, I'd never heard of him or this situation before so I don't quite know how important a topic the plagiarism part actually was, but the fact it's even being discussed on a football forum is a bit of a sign of the problem to me. Everyone's got an opinion on everyone and everything they do. They join the pile on whether they mean to or not. In this case, it's hard the most tragic of consequences.

I get that we all discuss many non-Spurs and non-football topics, but sometimes things just don't need the discussion?

Plagerism is only part of the Arday story. He lied about qualifications to gain positions he had no right to access. He wrote books, went on speaking tours, television and podcasts to talk about his fabricated life story. He lied about having cancer, being disabled and about donating millions to charity. He got found out.

Does that mean he shouldn’t be alive anymore? Of course not.

But it’s absolute nonsense to suggest this shouldn’t have been something discussed in the media, let alone current affairs sub forum. Especially when 99% of the conversation was not mocking Arday and was predominately conversations adjacent of the Arday story.

Why do you need to have an opinion on it though?
