If you think the life of a whistleblower and bloggist is somehow more profitable than the life of an ambassador, then perhaps I can see where you're coming from.

The life of a spy can be pretty profitable.

The life of a spy can be pretty profitable.

Of course, the life of an ambassador is shit in comparison. Travelling the world, all expenses paid, having your kids' private education fees paid for by the govt, juicy pension, not having to worry about jail etc.

I mean I do appreciate your use of the word "spy" here, it didn't go unnoticed. If Murray is a plant, then "spy" is surely the correct word. But if that's what his job is, then he has the problem of fearing for his life or liberty. These are heavy prices to pay. I mean a spy is not a particularly principled person... one who is willing to betray one's nation. If he's that much of a cunt, then why not just keep his job as ambassador and turn a blind eye to the shit the British Govt get up to?

Ya, I don't really believe he's a spy, I just think whistleblowers should be treated with the same skepticism as other people.

Also, other diplomats have been found guilty of spying. So apparently some thought it was worth it.

And being a whistleblower is arguably as dangerous as being a spy. You're still more-or-less treated like a traitor.
