How highly do you rate Boris Johnson in regards to Prime Ministers of the last 45 years?

@GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal

I'm going to say he's worse than Thatcher - and that's a huge thing for me to say, as a lifelong leftie who grew up in the 80s in family of trade unionists in the NE surrounded by mining communities. But however evil Thatcher was - and she was - she wouldn't, had Covid happened in her time, have attended booze fuelled parties in no.10 whilst the rest of the country was in lockdown. She just wouldn't.

I don't think any of them have a brilliant track record for women's rights, tbh. Blair probably did the most.

Another who agrees wholeheartedly with this.

Thatcher was always the example of a dreadful human being for me but by Christ Johnson gives her a run for her money. Even she would not have lied in the way he does. I fucking hate the tories and there is a special place in hell for that man and his supporters.

Johnson is by far the worst. Racist and corrupt.

Wasnt keen on Blair by the end what with being a war criminal but he started well. Liked Major best. Others a bit much of a muchness never felt they held the rule of law in total contempt.

Last by my rating, well below Blair.

Last, right right at the bottom. He is in contempt of the whole population and democracy.

Last. By a long, long, long way. And I really disliked Thatcher.

The worst and I remember what Thatcher did to my area when I was growing up.

The worst! And that's saying something!

Lowest of the low. Some of the others were incompetent. Boris is also incompetent. However, on top of that, he is dishonest, self serving and completely lacking in integrity or principles. I don't think we have ever had such a terrible PM.

And yes, he is definitely worse than Thatcher. For all that I hate what she did to this country, I do believe that she was guided by a belief in what she thought was right, no matter how misguided I might consider that belief to be.

Boris only believes in his own self interest.

Agree even though i was on the poll tax marches

@MissyB1

Another one that says he’s even worse than Thatcher - and I never thought there would be a worse prime minister than her!

Yeah. It's a tough one but he just about manages to be worse than her.

Top to bottom...

Blair
Major
Brown
Thatcher
May
Callaghan
Cameron
Some toe gunge I scraped out of my nail this morning in the shower
Johnson

The thing with Johnson is he's so utterly bent, and holds the public and the office in such contempt.

I would likely disagree with Thatcher on pretty much everything but she did at least give the sense of taking the thing seriously. And she had the sense to put experienced people around her -- Carrington, Heseltine, Howe, Hurd.

I would not have voted for May personally but I also think she got an utterly raw deal, both in terms of the situation she inherited and also how she was treated by the press, and the party she'd been a member of for decades.

The very, very worst. We're an international embarrassment.

He's the embodiment of everything that it bad about this country: lazy, flippant, entitlement that manifests in cronyism, corruption and regressive politics.

Opportunistic with no moral compass. I will dance on the streets when he goes.

Agree with all of this

I think the absolute worst! By a mile.

Then its Cameron.

Then a tie between thatcher / May - very close.

Then probably Major

Then a bit of a toss up between Blair and Brown. I don't like Blair. And there's obv the whole Iraq worse but if you look at everything he was far better than any Tory govt.

I think Brown was doomed from the start bit given a decent short may have been OK.

On the Kelvin political scale - 273.15 (absolute zero)

His wife is worse. Thatcher had balls, if no recognisable conscience.
Blair was a committed liar.
Major was another adulterer but some of him was good if just 'grey'.
Hague, who could tell ?
What was the name of the 'grey woman' before the Buffoon.
They are all sh1t in some, sometimes major ways,

The absolute worst - and I can remember all of them. There's something really vicious about him, and his contempt for the electorate and for the law of the land goes beyond anything we've seen in the last 5 decades.

Last

Britain elected a man who burned £50 notes in front of homeless people for fun when he was at university.
Tells you all you need to know.
Apart from that, he has failed upwards throughout his career. Utterly useless.

Not all of Britain voted for him.

Joint bottom with Thatcher

@Yirk

Joint bottom with Thatcher

Yep

Thatcher wanted to break up the working classes.
Johnson wants to turn them against each other.
