Reference :- Washington correspondent for " The Australian " newspaper , Adam Creighton , didn't quite follow the expected narrative during an interview with Andy Bolt about the North Sea gas pipeline sabotage .
Dear Andy ,
These are indeed tough times . Not just for you , but also for your comrades like Paul Murray , and Peta Credlin et al. The problem is this . Increasing, many of those in the know , from either side of the so called political divide , don't agree with the Sky News narrative . Whether it be climate change , the economy , the war in Ukraine or whatever , it is becoming difficult for you to find credible experts who share your rationally formulated views .
From now on you must be very wary, and choose your experts carefully . You should dust Adam Creighton for starters . Thank merciful Odin you cut him short before he said too much . It was bad enough when he pointed out that Mr Putin would have no motive for scuttling his own gas pipeline assets ( worth a cool 20 billion quid ) . And even worse when Adam suggested doing so would deprive Mr Putin of his best tool for negotiating a compromise in Eastern Ukraine .
But for the love of God , he then went on to suggest that Ukraine might have a strong motive for those underwater detonations , claiming that those running Ukraine might not want Mr Putin to offer gas to the West in exchange for a compromise in the East . You certainly did the right thing by joking about conspiracy theories and cutting him off . What else could you do ?
As we all know , this Ukraine war is a very simple thing , with no complications . There are good guys , and there are bad guys . Obviously we are the good guys and Mr Putin's scurvy crew , who started a war without provocation , are the bad guys . If a bad thing happens , and this pipeline trashing is indeed a bad thing , then there is no doubt that the bad guys are responsible .
The last thing we need is some overpaid international journalist complicating the narrative and confusing the average punter .
One last thing . You must avoid reference to the environment when expressing horror at the wilful destruction . We all know the atmosphere is doing just fine . A few hundred thousand tons of methane seeping into the firmament is neither here nor there , so let's not give the crazy green left more ammunition for their scaremongering .
Your comrade , Ken
