ANOTHER MUSE (FOR MY AMERICAN FRIENDS TO GIVE THEIR VIEWS)
TWICE ON VISITS TO THE U.K PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS TOLD THE UK PUBLIC THEY SHOULD VOTE TOSTAY IN THE E.U.

THE AMERICANS WHO CAME UP TO ME WHEM THEY HEARD MY ACCENT TO ASK ME WHY WERE WANTING TO LEAVE THE UK WE SHOULD STAY IN.I THOUGHT THAT THIS PART OF THE US STEEPED EVERYDAY INHISTORY OF THE REVOLUTION WOULD BE PRO -INDPENDANCE.

FOR ASLONG AS BUT A HUNDRED OF US ,REMAIN ALIVE.
NEVER WILLWE ON ANY CONDITION BE BROUGHT UNDER ENGLISH RULE.IT ISIN TRUTH,NOT FOR GLORY NOR RICHES,NOR HONOURS THAT WE ARE FIGHTING,BUT FOR FREEDOM,
FOR THAT ALONE,WHICH NO HONEST MAN GIVESUP,BUT WITH LIFE ITSELF!
