If I was James Cameron I'd sue - no-one would want to be associated with mass murderers and sexual miscreants (but enough about BoJo).
I suppose it handily indicates where everything went titanically wrong and ushered in a series of terminators (with T1 getting the highest body count but T2 getting the highest profile victim - the Queen). I blame the Weaselverse.
Ok, whilst we are here, I want to present a point of view and happy to discuss it.
David Cameron. Worst PM ever....
And yes I know, there is some stiff competition in that lineup but, he's the worst.
In a line-up including Liz Truss he is only just about able to squeeze into the top three of any "Worst ? Ever" list.
There's an argument to be made that without David Cameron's decision to sacrifice the country's relationship with Europe and appeal to UKIP with the Brexit referendum we wouldn't have had May, Brexit, Boris, Truss or Sunak. To be honest I think we would have had Boris anyway but we maybe wouldn't have had such a lurch to the far right as we've had.
Having said that, I think the shift to the right was already underway, a Boris follow-up was pretty inevitable with how skilled he is at fooling people with charisma (that somehow made everyone forget or forgive his leaked conversation to have a journalist assaulted). His legacy will always be his completely inadequate and corrupt handling of COVID. The one good thing I'll say about him especially compared to Sunak is that he does seem to genuinely care about the environment and did enact some positive environment policy.
It's their complete refusal to consider the possibility that they are wrong. That they have made a mistake and that perhaps they should have a contingency plan in place.
Yeah they're evil and psychotic and try and take money away from public services, but the thing about them that makes them terrible is their arrogance, their completely unjustified arrogance. That complete lack of any actual talent has no bearing on their opinion of their own abilities.
Absolutely agreed. I think the ability of the person, their morals and their impact are important but long term consequences have to play a major role.
Trusses' impacts were immediate and large but have mostly receded. She wasn't around long enough to do any real damage and she's still out there garnering support from the same crazy fuckheads in the first place so no real changes there. They'll just put up someone else instead.
Johnson was by far the worst individual but the damage was relatively small because of how incompetent he was and in fact, he highlighted a lot of issues that will hopefully change for the better now. If another evil politician turns up and makes use of those but is actually competent, they'll go number one with Bojo number 2. Anybody would've struggled with covid and although he made it worse, I think other institutions lessened the impact somewhat.
Blair has the Iraq war, impact on Middle East and the start of the British fall in international relations, which probably puts him pretty high but I think some of the other stuff (e.g. making the BoE independent) probably does just enough to and him.
Brown was in power for too little of a time really but was instrumental in Blair's got so takes some of that heat.
A lot of the country would argue Thatcher should be up there. Her policies continue to have much support in the Tories and some parts of other parties. Definitely a contender.
Brexit has had the worst impacts on every part of our lives and will continue to do so for quite some time. It's also messed up NI, Ireland and the EU itself has suffered from it too. Cameron caused it and then jumped ship because he couldn't help or wasn't willing to, and either way is pretty bad. He has my vote for sure. No other single politic move has caused such a large negative impact.
