1. As explained, this was a publicity stunt for a TV show.
2. If you hate Britain so much, why do you go there?
3. Would you care to explain to the families of British soldiers who have died in Iraq why they and their dead sons should be condemned by you because of a billboard? Perhaps you'd like to leave a letter of condemnation at their gravesites.
4. American liberals hate American just as much as British liberals. "Does anything good come from America?" is the lens through which the New York Times views the world.
Dear Mr. Stinker: (what a pen name!)
I don't hate Britain, I've been travelling there since 1972 with a pit stop for about 11 months in the late 1970s. I go there because my profession takes me there. When I'm not there, I try to keep up on British culture and politics. I watched the Labour conference this week and would have loved to stay on for the Conservative conference. I have friends in the British theatre and when we are not talking about American politics or Israel, we get along just fine.
Of course American liberals and leftists hate America. Do you think I don't understand that? What has that to do with a British billboard? (God, I'm sorry I mentioned it to you sensitive Brits!)
