PETE Winstanley (HAS, June 11) believes that I was "talking through my bowler hat" when I stated that nobody in the world likes us Brits.

Quite a moment of comedy from a man whose letters are so liberal and repetitive.

He must be blind to fact and unable to see the real world as, over the last several years, there have been countless marches in our cities by "British Muslims" who had the cheek to publicly proclaim their hatred towards Great Britain on our streets.

On the subject of my bowler hat, I no longer have it as I accidentally sat on it.
