The British ambassador said in a video video: “A beautiful Baghdad evening, on the bank of the Eternal Tigris, but I have a serious message as an ambassador and diplomat. I must say that the Netherlands is a friendly country and the Dutch people are close to us culturally, religiously and historically, but as a historian there are some things that I cannot ignore.”


Hitchen, who was speaking while smoking a hookah, added: “For example, in the year 1667, Dutch naval forces entered British waters and burned the British fleet. It was a black day in our history, and we have waited 4 centuries to think about this issue.”


The British ambassador in Baghdad continued: "Tomorrow I believe there is an opportunity. My message today to the Dutch people and the Dutch ambassador is time for revenge."


The English national team will meet its Dutch counterpart, on Wednesday evening, in a confrontation described as “fiery” in the semi-finals of the current edition of the European Nations Cup 2024, currently being held in Germany.
