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.
