Murray was a temporary member of the NUJ (the UK's "official" journalists' union), allowed his membership to lapse when working largely on the Assange case, his subsequent request for membership renewal was refused by the NUJ in disputed circumstances. Murray's site has plenty of comment on this.
He's no prankster.
- gadders 3y agoAgreed. I don't think there is much politically that he and I would agree on, but he appears to be fearless. He follows his convictions wherever that may lead - even if it upsets people who you might expect to be his political allies. It's also worth noting that he a) upset the British government when an Ambassador for publicising GWOT rendition flights, and b) has also upset the SNP/Scottish Government for publicising SNP corruption and their treatment of Alex Salmond.
- tivert 3y ago> He's no prankster. Though he does seem like a bit of a crank. Apparently Craig Murray thought Russia "lacked a motive" to poison a Russian spy who defected to the West, but he believed the Jews had "a clear motivation." That reeks of a broken reasoning process driven by prejudice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Murray#Skepticism_about_Salisbury_poisoning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Murray#Skepticism_about_...
