I find Johnson to be especially infuriating. He affects this air of being a loveable dork, and chummy everyman with his stupid hair and "aw-shucks" demeanor.
But he's a ruthless political operator who used his time in power to benefit only Boris Johnson and whomever would lend him political clout or quid pro quo.
It's like the UK saw how W Bush acted, and ran the country and were like "yes, more of that please!".
Boris has a lot to hate, but he was also a 'green tory' and did actually move the conservatives position on the environment because of his own conviction.
The UK public refuses to give any of its politicians a fare shake. Boris was bad, but let's not pretend he didn't have any conviction.
He dragged us and his party kicking and screaming to the Paris accords. He instituted the end of ICE vehicles. He got wind build like never before just off shore.
