The baby crying in the audience completes the scene, unfortunately.

:musical_note: That’s America,
This Britain,
Some things are similar,
Some different,
In this country the first enslaved were the working class
What’s changed?
Worst jobs, worst conditions
Worst taxed, look where you’re livin’
You go to the pub, Friday night,
You will fight with a guy,
Don’t know what for,
But won’t fight with a guy, suit and a tie,
Who sends your kids to die in a war,
They don’t send the kids of the rich or the politicians,
It’s your kids, the poor British
That they send to go die in a foreign land
For these wars you don’t understand,
Yeah they say that you’re British
And that lovely patriotism they feed ya
But in reality you have more in common with immigrants
Than with your leaders :musical_note:

Buh Byyyeeee?

“The authenticity of the letter, which was addressed to the Iraqi defense ministry’s Combined Joint Operations Baghdad, was confirmed to Reuters independently by an Iraqi military source.”

“We respect your sovereign decision to order our departure,” it said.

“In Washington, a Pentagon spokesman said he could not immediately confirm its authenticity.”

Fishy.

Especially since the Iraqi Parliament’s vote to expel U.S. troops is non-binding.

Apparently it was a “mistake”. Somebody lost their job today.
