Pulling The Woolwich Over Our Eyes

There'll be no crocodile tears from me.

Good to see popular culture namecheck the ground zero of United States corruption because it's a pet topic of mine that history and the corporate are not allowed to spend too much time on.

Reality is a bit more complex than what you're told.
