    He was investingated for plagiarism by Liverpool University, where the degree in question was from, and they found his work flawed in attributions and references, but not full on plagiarism.

    The current media storm came from a self a owed race realist who says “in a meritocracy there’d be no black people at university” stirring it up repeating the claims he was found innocent of until he quit his job and killed himself.

    Not to say he’s blameless, the errors and failings in attribution and referencing are not the be all and end all, but a lot of the other claims about things he made up - raising money for charity, running the marathons - this article fact checks and comes down on more likely true, or closer to true than not.
