Brits Forgot How To Fight But NOT How To F...

Iraqis allege sex abuse at the British Embassy

"An Iraqi cleaner and two cooks claim that a culture of sexual harrassment, abuse and bullying exists at the British Embassy in Baghdad.

The middle-aged cleaner told The Times that a British contractor with KBR, the company hired to maintain the embassy’s premises, offered to double her daily pay if she would stay the night with him. When she refused, she said, her pay was cut and she was later dismissed.

The Iraqis accuse the embassy of leaving the abuse unchallenged and failing adequately to respond to complaints against several British managers for KBR. The company was allowed to conduct its own inquiry, an arrangement criticised as a very serious conflict of interest.

The complainants – the cleaner and two male cooks who worked in the embassy canteen – say that some KBR managers groped Iraqi staff regularly, paid or otherwise rewarded them for sex and dismissed those who refused or spoke out."

The Brits are the reason Basra remains in such terrible shape, as their "fighting men (?)" sought to negotiate whenever possible instead of flat out killing the buggers.

Sort of good to discover they still know how to fuck. Sort of creepy that they have to pay for it.
