Why does everyone hate Boris?

[skidadle]

Just that really. I neither like nor dislike him I don't feel any emotion towards him.
AIBU to ask why so many people on here hate/dislike Boris Johnson?

No I don't watch the live press conferences or updates from him or read the papers. Before anyone asks

I have morals. I would not leave someone being treated for cancer. I think all children you have should be acknowledged.

Incompetent
Amoral (will say anything to maintain personal power)
Generally prioritises personal vanity over national needs

For me, it is primarily because he is driven by his ego rather than any sense of public duty. It's all about what's best for Boris.

His explicit racism, his misogyny, his guilt over Brexit, His dishonesty and his lack of attention to detail are all factors as well. Not to mention his general lack of competence.

Ooh you are a one, OP!

If you want to know why he’s so hated, read about him.

I dislike his political views, but I find his hypocrisy and lies abhorrent. He keeps promising all sorts of stuff will or won't happen - 995 of which turns out to a mixture of bullshit and lies.

Because he's a lying, egotistical, priveleged twat who has no morals or understanding of life for the majority. Can't be trusted.

Because he’s totally incompetent. His priorities are wrong. He wimps out of taking hard decisions over and over again,

I suspect you might change your opinion if you had seen the press conferences.

Trump lover, incompetent, lazy, corrupt, gave public money to the mistress he was shagging while his then-wife was having cancer treatment, only pro-Brexit as it was expedient to his career, has made some horrendously racist and homophobic statements, has been fired from two jobs for lying, has got us a Brexit "deal" that is going to shrink the economy and hamstring business, has presided over a world-beating covid death rate.... should I go on? Oh yes, and no-one's quite sure how many children he actually has, least of all him, he certainly doesn't acknowledge all of them.

Fetches popcorn

I don't hate him. I think he's way out of his depth though. He might have been a good 'peacetime' PM. But not for the current situation.

And yy to his lack of any sort of moral compass.This links to the ego thing in my view. There is no right or wrong in his world. Only good for Boris or bad for Boris.

I don’t think it’s hard to understand why so many people strongly dislike someone who has always put their own ambition over anything else

But MN tends to lean to the left and is certainly not representative of the population

But hey, Boris, what a guy, what a laff, on telly an everthing innit?

Because he is a self obsessed misogynistic buffoon who is neither suited/skilled to running the country, nor a suitable judge of character to delegate the stuff he is less good at to someone that could do it effectively.

And please don't ask what he is good at - I can't quite think of anything right now.

Most things seem to be covered but the arranging to have someone beaten up strikes me as a bit of a red flag

No I don't watch the live press conferences or updates from him or read the papers.

Then who cares what you do or don't think?

This is going to run and run...

I have nothing but contempt for him.

He is incapable of using a condom correctly and won't even say how many children he has.

He persuaded his mistress to have an abortion when it wasn't what she wanted.

He lies like other people breathe. Just google Boris Johnson lies for how many.

He's an odious slug of a man.

No I don't watch the live press conferences or updates from him or read the papers. Before anyone asks

Yet this total lack of interest in current affairs doesn’t correspond to a lack of interest in the average MNer’s view on BoJo?

And please don't ask what he is good at - I can't quite think of anything right now.

I can fix that for you. Giving public money to his Eton mates

Ooohhh right, think I get the picture now!
Didn't realise he was that bad, never paid any attention to him really.
I over heard a conversation in my local shop. One man saying to the other"I think Boris is great". The other man shook his head!!

I dislike him because I’ve heard he eats babies and kittens.

Didn't he also pay to get someone beaten up?
