Boris Johnson, as I understand it, was born in New York, which gave him automatic US citizenship. I think I read that he had abandoned that since. If not, however, and even if so, would his American birth entitle him – now he’s about to become jobless in Britain – to offer himself for election as US President; as a further giant step towards his well-known childhood ambition of becoming ‘world king’? Apparently the Americans find the British upper classes quite lovable. Johnson might be a more acceptable idiot there than Trump. And it would mean that we Brits would be properly rid of him. Just a thought.

Porter’s Pensées 
A while ago, Americans did go to quite a bit of trouble getting rid of British men in positions of power in their part of the world.

I’m not sure the Americans do find the British, presumably English rather than British, lovable. Amusing, then tiresome seems more likely.

Bernard, I very much doubt that the US would want him back- but it would certainly be good to be rid of him. Given the wheeling and dealing of his father in matters of residency/citizenship, it probably would not surprise us to see him trying the same games! Good riddance.
Take care, hope you are well!
