Precisely. The feckless buffoon thing is a well constructed character that people have fallen for for years. Weird that his siblings seem like decent people, so I think deep down he probably is, it's just that his thirst for power has turned him into the Johnson we see today. I know someone who worked for him a few years ago, during the Cameron years, and he described him as terrifying.
He's undoubtedly a twat, but I wouldn't wish ill on anyone (except maybe Trump).

That's the thing with Boris, he is actually pretty intelligent and I'm pretty sure he e.g. knows exactly how important those bloody foreigners are for the NHS. He just chooses to ignore that in his quest for power.
I honestly don't know whether that's better or worse than the empty entitled airbag that Trump is.
