WITHOUT doubt, Joanna Lumley is a fine actress and she revealed her extraordinary attention-seeking abilities in the recent Gurkhas resettlement affair.
But it has always puzzled me that citizens of some countries love the land of their birth so much they can hardly wait to leave it.
Miss Lumley is apparently an eco-warrior, but as Frances Willows (HAS, July 31) pointed out, she appears to be remarkably silent on the emotive subject of fox-hunting.
With her credentials I would have thought she would have wished to protect old Reynard, but not a squeak, that I am aware of, from her usually well-engaged mouth.
Could it be she doesn’t wish to offend some of her hunting pals?
If so, shame on you, Miss Lumley.
Hugh Pender, Darlington.
