To the editor:
Boris Johnson is entertaining, bold, humorous and appealing; otherwise, he would not have been able to win such a resounding victory for the British Conservative Party’s leadership and consequently his country’s premiership.
However, like his American counterpart, President Trump, Johnson personifies everything that is wrong with politics, including elitism, cronyism and dishonesty.
Moreover, Johnson studied and worked in Brussels and speaks several European languages. It is therefore absurd the way he dislikes Europe, and it is shocking that he fails to grasp the salient fact that in today’s world, we cannot tackle issues like terrorism, trade, the environment, immigration and much more on our own.
