That said, given that the Brexit process went through two PMs before Boris (even if The Pigfucker only oversaw the referendum) and that it was such a fundamentally bad idea that I don't think anybody could have pulled it off, I'm not sure how much of the blame belongs to him.
His term has been nothing but sleaze and national embarrassment
He's surrounded himself with idiots and sociopaths
He's essentially economically ruined Britain through Brexit
His incompetence during the pandemic killed thousands
His cruel policies on refugees have cost lives
His idiocy on international affairs has ruined the delicate balance of Europe
His idiotic trade policies have guaranteed the death of UK farming and fishing
His rapid Anglocentricism has alienated Northern Irland and Scotland and threatened the continuation of the union
He's essentially ended the right to protest
Also, as crap as BoJo's pandemic policies are, I'm inclined to cut him a bit of slack. Not saying he didn't shit the bed quite a bit on the pandemic. But at least he gave a shit about trying to slow the spread of the virus. If you've lived under a regime where the leader is outright hostile towards any efforts to slow the pandemic, from the lockdowns to masking, and talks so much shit during briefings on the pandemic that they have to cut his mic, you at least start to appreciate the difference between trying and failing and outright trying to fail like Trump did (and this doesn't even get into the cult of personality that's developed around Trump and multiplied the problem, which I don't think has become much of a thing for BoJo). Granted, it took Boris getting COVID to understand that the pandemic is a big deal, but when it happened to Trump, it didn't change jack shit. And I'm sure that if someone from Brazil reads this post, they'll probably one-up me by pointing out how Bolsonaro is an even bigger jackass than Trump in this regard.
While Boris wasn't the only PM to push Brexit he played a huge role in pushing Euroskepticism and Anti EU bullshit when he was a "journalist" (Bendy Banana's anyone) and he sure as hell takes the blame for a constant unwillingness to admit Brexits faults and willingness to lie in its defense.
While his response on Covid is better than Trumps I remind you his government once pushed for the disastrous Swedish model of just letting everyone get it and pray they become immune. He always takes heat for using the pandemic to give PPE contracts to his friends thus wasting public money on health equipment that was never going to be made, And while he doesn't have a cult around him he has plenty of Tory supporters who are willing to dismiss any criticism of his response with "he's doing his best", And I don't even want to start on Partygate.
