The worst 3 Prime Ministers

We seem to be having a run of very poor Prime Ministers at the moment. Have we ever had a worse run?

1. Theresa May (2016-19)- did not possess a single attribute necessary for a Prime Minister. She couldn't lead, persuade or inspire and achieved precisely nothing in her three years apart from pandering to brexit extremists and trying to deliver a brexit she didn't even understand.

2. Boris Johnson (2019 -) - a lazy serial liar with no morals or principles whose only motivation is self interest.

3. David Cameron (2010-16) - gave us year after year of austerity which achieved very little apart from making most of us poorer and the disastrous remain referendum campaign.

The trouble is that, recently, the alternatives within the Tory party were just as ghastly and the other parties' leaders were hopeless: Corbyn, Swinson

Boris, Boris and Boris 

I don't dislike Boris - I just think he's an incompetent puppet who will do anything to be PM including selling his soul to the devil. But in the process he has divided the country (although that could also be ascribed to Cameron's foolishness) 
So when we're talking about "worst prime ministers" I find it hard to look past Thatcher who destroyed our industry, sold off our natural resources to appease the Americans but more than anything split the country both ideologically and financially paving the way for our current predicament and hamstringing PMs of all colours since.
Many of the accusations made against Thatcher could also be levelled at Wilson who took tough and unpopular economic decisions but at least he redeemed himself and did it with a degree of humanity.
And then there's Ted Heath and the 3 day week...

Tony Blair
Gordon Brown
Theresa May

Blair did some good stuff eg the Good Friday Agreement but he paid the price by agreeing to go to war at the behest of the Americans and I can't forgive him for that. The reason the Americans are now saying they won't do a trade deal with the UK if Boris's Internal Market Bill goes through is that they claim (to their own people) that they were instrumental in bringing peace to Northern Ireland (whereas in reality Blair roped them into it as the Yanks have massive influence with the IRA and it was the only way) so if Boris's lot undermine what the Yanks claim as a victory, they will f*** the UK over. And the Senate made that very clear to Raab yesterday when they roasted him over a slow turning spit. Moreover the powerful Ways and Means Committee have made it clear they are disgusted with Boris's treachery and that they'll be focusing on doing deals with China and the EU first - long before they even consider the UK - and only then if Boris does another U turn on his ill-conceived bill. But they made it clear we are well down the list of priorities now we're leaving the EU which is understandable because we are tiny in comparison.

Brown was meh.

May was enthusiastic but she was stabbed in the back in order to install yes man Boris.

Cummings, Thatcher, Heath

Boris
Number one for me one thing you need from a PM is to be on top of the detail, this guy seems to think it's cool not to know what's going on. ED Milliband tore him a new one the other day, he couldn't even respond. He also trumps all others due to being a serial liar, and the worst thing of all is he is reliant on an unelected advisor. 

 Alecs Douglas Hulme
Purely judged on his ability to be unable to actually open his mouth.

Anthony Eden
Just out of his depth and actually holds the title in a poll held. he had health problems as well

With special commendation to Margaret Thatcher she was very capable, but a heartless bitch. who i hated with a passion.

She's got a beautiful grave. But they should have made the dance floor bigger.

The thread is about the worst and she comes to the front of your thinking says it all.

 The best i can say about her is that she was a heartless bitch that ensured greed was top bananna and didn't give a flying fook about anyone outside the south east.

Would i have wanted her on my side, probaby, am i glad she wasn't totally.
