Edit: I really like the way, which is very modern, that you can make these points and directly link footage of the man himself making them so that the reader can assess whether bias exists in the reporting and they're quotes out of context. "Here's my point and here's the evidence so you can decide yourself whether you agree with the inference." It's a really powerful use of hyperlink tech. There should be more of it in political discourse.

Craig Murray with an absolute barn Stormer of a take under the linked tweet. Is he trying to the guardian are warmongering agitators now?

  I don't know but i suspect he's more likely to be suggesting the guardian are playing down Blair's faults as part of their support of one faction over another in the power struggles of the labour party. Eg Starmer over Corbyn factions. I don't really follow uk leftist politics to be at all sure about that. So yeah the inference from it, dunno. The observation seems valid though. Amplifying the parts of le Carre's views that you like and support. Glossing over those that don't support your position.
