What a shitty delusional piece of drivel: that was an extended french kiss to Johnson’s unwiped and disgusting asshole. You should be ashamed to post such complete horseshit.
He should take some pictures of Boris’ tonsils while his head is up his arse. I was waiting to read that the sleaze ball should be declared a saint with a picture of a halo over his head.
As a historian, from a pure historical perspective, most past Prime Ministers aren’t remembered at all. Ones that are, tend to be remembered by the majority of the population for just one thing usually a big event, the more time that passes the more this is likely to occur.
For example: Winston Churchill is remembered for WW2. Neville Chamberlain is remembered for appeasement. Clement Attlee for the reconstruction after WW2. Robert Walpole is remembered for the South Sea Bubble. Lord North for losing America. Benjamin Disraeli is remembered for giving votes to the upper working classes. Peel is remembered for the creation of the Police. Gladstone is remembered for blocking the repeal of slavery in the Empire because his Dad was the second largest slave owner in the world. Lord Grey for Great Reform Act of 1832 extending the vote to the middle classes. Blair is remembered for the Iraq war. Cameron for his obsession with Referendums (particularly the EU referendum) etc.
In my view, Boris will probably be remembered for Brexit, maybe being the first sitting Prime Minister to break the law whilst in office, perhaps the largest resignations in one day. As his tenure has been short he will most likely be forgotten. Usually only if you have served for several terms and had a lot controversial and impactful policies are you remembered by people for more than one thing. For example, Thatcher is remembered by different people for different things; mining strikes, privatisation, relations with the EU, Falklands War, extension of right to buy for Council houses.
It is hard to tell without future knowledge but Boris wont be remembered for Brexit if we re join the EU or the EU collapses. The pandemic/vaccine rollout is also tough to call because this could just be one pandemic out of hundreds in the next 50 years, in which case it won’t be remembered (see SARS, Ebola, Bird Flu, Swine Flu etc). Ukraine/Russia it depends how the conflict goes, if Russia win I doubt he will be remembered for trying to support Ukraine or if China declare war on Taiwan he won’t be remembered for supporting a country in a smaller war in the same period. If a subsequent Prime Minister breaks the law and is actually jailed for a more serious offense (that is not a civil one, something like murder) then I doubt Boris will be remembered for breaking the law either.
TL/DR: Boris is unlikely to be remembered at all in the long run. Barely any Prime Ministers are.
Oh, his place in the history books is assured.
No other PM has managed to get over fifty resignations in a day!
