My view of Johnson is much more negative than that. Boris is a well educated man that doesnt do detail and briefings and so often fills gaps by making stuff up or playing the British eccentric. Hes someone who before the referendum according to his Dad, Brother and Sister was a remainer and there are documented aspects to that as well. He wrote a couple of pieces for the Spectaor that supported Remain and Leave and went with Leave because it suited his aspirations to become PrimeMinister ( King of the World in his childhood ). Johnson lies, obfuscates and I would not trust him an inch.
I don't think hes ballsy I think hes a careerist and thinks Leave will keep him PM and hes the very worst of politicians as hes very much a bit of a fiction at times. Hes supported by Cummings a very clever manipulator and I don't like being manipulated.
Whats the chinese proverb 'May you live in Interesting Times' !!!!
