And he was in trouble even then for this stuff. Why did he get this fast track?

Richard Seymour, the bloke who does lenins tomb confirmed that he knew David Rose in the middle of this. Not that he had met a David Rose, but the David Rose. The one who had done all the stuff Hari has today half-admitted to and who wasn't at that time actually Hari.

Not really no. But also yes. He built a vast potemkin empire upon that sort of tradition. Here's an idea, fund out what he actually did.
Loads of people do, even on here. But it's standard accepted etiquette to credit the original authors. Anything else is plagiarism.

Ta for that. I hadn't got round to checking his stuff yet. I am on a email list where he defended Hari through this Rose connection most strongly and accused people of having a paedo hunt. (Note, i can back this up)
He lifted quotes from other articles and inserted them in to his own. Perfectly normal behaviour in the world of mainstream journalism.
He also, and this I suspect is your gripe, cherry-picked quotes to suit his desired narrative. But he's a shite columnist, not a substantive reporter. And I'm the naive one?
Refused as fuck

He had form for being a cunt before all this exploded in his face. Oh yeah, and child porn.

No he didn't.Yes you are. You're too late pal. See his teary lying apology.

shut it you egg!
don't we all?
I actually enjoyed some of his columns, if not always his views on matters. But it isn't difficult to say, "Jo bloggs met him and discovered blah blah" and form an argument around it rather than disingeniously shoving Joe Bloggs out of the equation and pretending it was himself instead. In fact, I don't understand why he did it. Does he want to impress his readership with lies about his imagined derring-dos?

Ignatious, any examples of the sort of thing Hari did that spring to mind? It should be pretty abundant right? Blow our minds.

well, his plagiarism was slightly different to the usual kind. he kind of did credit the originial authors, but suggested that they'd said these things directly to him.

martin luther king sighed and looked towards the window when i asked him how he was sleeping.
"i have a dream" he told me, directly.

There was no kind of credit to the people who had elicited those answers full stop. And this was only half of his thievery the rest was usual plagiarism -see his Orwell winning article on multi-culturalism. He did both.

He's been lying for over half of his adult life.
Sorry, made it clearer in an edit. But perhaps I was wrong anyway, I was under the impression that he lifted the quotes from books that were written in other languages. Can anyone clarify this?

He did for the Negri thievery and the multi-culturalism one.

During this the New Statesmen were presented with evidence that Hari was David Rose by two different writers. They refused to publish -why?
