re: "Pressed to say if he would pay the tax he said: “Why should I? I haven’t lived in the United States for, you know, well, since I was five years old”.

I don't blame him. Our tax laws - which are unfair to begin with - are grossly unfair to our expatriated citizens. I'm sure Johnson regrets that he was ever born here.

Boris Johnson among record number to renounce American citizenship in 2016

Johnson was born in New York when his parents worked there, but has not lived there since he was five years old. His decision does not appear to be an attempt to distance himself from the politics of Donald Trump, but may instead be a move to ensure he is out of reach of America’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

...American citizen because he was born here. Hasn't lived here since he was 5. Sold his house in England and got hit for $50,000 or so in taxes by IRS.
