It is an amazing article. I have visited London every year for the last thirty years and have had many experiences with anti-Americanism - but nothing like this. I must admit, though, that last year - with the upcoming state visit by Bush - the Brits seemed to go wild. There were protests in the streets every day followed by buses with bullhorns going up and down Piccadilly screaming out Bush-hatred and Michael Moore having them queue up in the droves at Waterstones. And don't even mention the ire raised when a Presidential helicopter mussed up one of the Queen's gardens!
A conversation I had with the usual seemingly polite Brit ended up with him spitting out Bush/Blair hatred until I stopped him dead by mentioning the unspeakable Galloway.
On the plus side, I recently found a conservative radio talk show host (it may have been BBC London, but who knows) there and was pleasantly surprised. Can't wait for my next trip in November!
