In his newly published book, Boris Johnson, the UK’s Prime Minister, stated that American President Joe Biden informed him that he is not of Irish origin but rather, of English ancestry. This raises the essential question, isn’t it superior to have Irish roots, as opposed to being the progeny of a realm that would elect Boris Johnson as their head of state? Conceivably so, argues Pavel Marianski from Dungarvan in County Waterford.
In another letter, Finbar Kearns from Piercestown in County Wexford, made it clear that he has no plans to purchase Boris Johnson’s memoirs. Instead, he will depend on summaries published in the media. His scepticism lies in only half of the provided information being accurate, a result of Johnson’s history. The real task, Kearns argues, is determining which half holds truth.
In a light-hearted jest, Dublin 4 resident Leslie Lawless queries if, considering Johnson’s frequent dismissal of factual details, his recent autobiography should find its home on the bookshop’s fiction shelves, rather than non-fiction.
