He will end up making millions and become a cause célèbre for "progressive" idiots worldwide.

There will be a nationwide tour where no doubt he will strike out at the evil right-wingers who have "weaponised the facts" and "treated him differently". Seems it's starting very soon:

As long as it's under fiction...

@EconomyClassRockstar The thread is referring to the Jason Arday, the Cambridge professor who has finally resigned after being caught out for plagiarism.

I think most people who buy it will buy it as a hate read or for comedy value because so many ridiculous stories have now come to light about the lies he's told. But that would still make money for him.

Sadly, I think his autobiography will become a best seller.

I have no idea what you're all talking about. Are we talking about Cambridge the city, the uni or the family?! Please share as I now want to read it.

I work in a bookshop. Unfortunately yes.

Probably. Sounds like it would make for a good film.

Everyone I have spoken to so far who said they are buying it are treating it as a comedy and a prequel to the inevitable Netflix doc.
