Partygate, breaking the ministerial code to cover up bullying, his numerous affairs. He was an untenable prime minister several times over.

I'm sure there is a greater..... zeitgeist... to his time in office, but my "he didn't really do anything wrong" comment was more in connection to the MP story which seemed to be the final catalyst for the resignations.

I only know enough to probably be only slightly more informed than the average American about the entirety of the Johnson situation. I'd argue that most people, even in the U.K., might not be able to articulate on Brexit, let alone the totality of Johnson's "Presidency".

What I really wish is that I had a good enough grasp of the reality in Britain so as to make a valid judgement regarding the public opinion of Johnson over there. For example, I can do that here for Trump very cleanly when I assign a lot of the hate to the mob and life-angry mentality moreso than anything Trump actually did. I.... don't know so much about the situation over there. I do know though that I don't trust almost anyone's opinion on it because as we've seen here, people exploit their hate as necessary for the witch-hunt and to prevail over integrity and truth of a situation; and they act like their are right to do it.
