The British Media Vs. Plagiarism
4 panel comic

Panel 1: 
British Journalists are relaxing on lilos in the sea. Someone on the shore yells “Hey Guys! An academic got accused of plagiarism”

Panel 2: 
One of the journalists sticks out their tongue and says “Pffft. Wake me when there’s a real story”

Panel 3: 
Person on shore “He was black”

Panel 4: 
The sea explodes as a tidal wave of British Journalists erupt into the air, manic and desperate to report on this now vital for some reason piece of news

Today is the 180th anniversary of Elsie Inglis's birth. She obtained the Triple Qualification in medicine in 1892, founded a maternity hospital in Edinburgh, spoke at suffrage events organized by Milicent Fawcett, and during WWI created the Scottish Women's Hospitals. #WomenInSTEM #MedSky ⚕️

All that happened was their journal article was withdrawn and presumably they got a talking to. They kept their jobs and it didn't go in the newspapers. I hope all those who publicly criticised him hang their heads in shame. RIP Jason..💔

There are likely many academics whose work lies in shaky foundations. I was once asked to review an academic's work when they were suspected of plagiarism. I concluded their work was indeed plagiarised.

It's always a concern when someone's personal story becomes the story. It's usually due to poverty or race and the privileged will sharpen their knives. He was made into a target he was ill equipt to deal with and left unsupported.

I am appalled at how Jason Arday was treated and I'm devastated he's dead. It was racism pure and simple. Cambridge sought attention with a high profile academic that was held up too high and thrust into the spotlight without any support.

White professor ‘ MattGPT ‘ whose most recent book contained fabricated quotations, non-existent source references, & left ChatGPT URLs accidentally embedded in footnotes is sad about Jason Arday’s death but still wants Arday & all black academia held to higher standards than his own writing .

Is welfare spending ''out of control''? It's estimated to be 11.1 per cent of GDP this financial year. That's just 1.1 per cent of GDP higher than in 2007-08, and total welfare spending has actually fallen by 0.9 per cent of GDP since 2012-13 ⤵️
