The Queen has announced the State visit to the UK of the US president in June, on the occasion of a wartime anniversary. But already childish people are planning protests, and the current leader of the opposition has vowed not to attend. There’s no point in thousands of people massing in London to shout insults at the president. Where were they when Romania’s Ceausescu or Zimbabwe’s Mugabe visited? On a personal level, my latest book, An Englishwoman in America, will be released on 11th June. It covers what the Americans think of the British and vice versa, along with how America compares on language, culture, humour, health, sport, government, gun law, religion, patriotism and even sex. Modern democracies understand that education about each other is vital if meaningful discussions can take place. Mr President, you will be very welcome!
