My Take
What strikes me about Stanley Johnson is how full a life he packed in before most people ever heard his surname in another context. Born in Penzance in 1940, he sat in the European Parliament for Wight and Hampshire East, worked for the World Bank and the European Commission, and then turned to writing about environment and population. The 2015 RSPB Medal tells me the ornithology and conservation streak was genuine, not a footnote. I find people like him interesting precisely because the public career and the private passion pull in the same direction. The bird-watching ex-MEP feels like a very particular British type.
