Sir, – While I usually enjoy Fintan O’Toole’s articles, his most recent article (“Both Queen Elizabeth and Boris Johnson embody a polity on its way out”, Weekend Review, June 11th) at its core is very distasteful towards, essentially, an elderly person’s life.
Ninety-six years of age is rather an achievement and the “not yet dead” analogy is an unacceptable ploy in order to make a point on the demise of the British empire.
– Yours, etc,
