Tbh I think this is a non point (and I’m not a boris supporter) but there is plenty of people going on holidays and I don’t begrudge it to any of them, even tho I’ll be 95 by the next time I’ll be able to afford to go haha

Oblomov22 · 17/08/2022 08:34

I don't understand what the problem is. He's carrying his child's bag.

bare · 17/08/2022 08:34

I think she means 'Nanny carrying most, Man carrying least' 😀

Changechangychange · 17/08/2022 08:35

Is that a very short nanny, or is Wilf a giant? Isn’t he only 2??

Puppylucky · 17/08/2022 08:35

It's not the holiday as such it's him swanning down the steps with a kid's rucksack whilst the two women stagger off loaded with bags and babies

Georgeskitchen · 17/08/2022 08:35

I.dont think it's illegal (yet) to go on holiday .

Sonnex · 17/08/2022 08:36

I think the OP means how BJ can't be arsed to carry one of his kids down the steps like dads normally do when going on holiday, nor help with any of the bags except token carrying a small kids one. What an arse he is.

I always feel.sorry for people who take a nanny on holiday, even though they think it means they're wealthy and privileged, it always looks miserable to me.

Suspect that bag contains Boris’s colouring book and Hotwheels cars.

downfield · 17/08/2022 08:37

How tall is the kid? 😆

Do wake up. The issue is not the holiday.

I agree OP and I assume the one struggling with the older child while holding hand baggage not a neat little rucksack is possibly the nanny!

Chewbecca · 17/08/2022 08:39

Brilliant! Sums him up perfectly.

FlosCampi · 17/08/2022 08:39

He really looks like Trump from that angle!

It’s a metaphor for life at the moment. The nanny struggling with the child and all the heavy baggage just about staying upright represents most of us, while the well off just cruise along with no understand of what it’s like.

Boris has no media savvy. It would have taken a minute’s thought to think how that picture would play in the papers.

OrlaOrka · 17/08/2022 08:39

Yeah ok i missed the point of this post!! You’re absolutely right OP

BagelwithPhiladelphiaz · 17/08/2022 08:40

Well, the woman at the front (I’m assuming she is the nanny or a relative) looks really overloaded with those bags as well as a child.

If I only had one bag, even as a complete stranger, I’d offer to help that woman. But Boris is happy to watch her carrying the bags and his child without helping with either.

Tayegete · 17/08/2022 08:41

He IS entitled to go on holiday but two holidays back to back in his last few weeks as PM is not ok. He’s still being paid to be PM. Can he not just wait?!
You see this so often as well, woman struggling with a buggy/ wriggling toddler and man strolling along beside her with not a care in the world.

Silverfinch · 17/08/2022 08:41

Seriously, why is that child so enormous?

I don’t get the impression it makes a lot of difference to the running of number 10 whether Boris is in the country or not, tbh.

LadyKenya · 17/08/2022 08:44

Oh what a surprise not only is he racist, and homophobic, he is also selfish as well. But hey, good ole Boris still to many folk.

Just the small matter of the utter theft of a salary that the man is

I was struck by what a mini-Boris he is! His hair is just the same!

LadyKenya · 17/08/2022 08:47

He has shown who he is time and time again. His reprehensible character did not stop him getting the top job in the Conservative party. That says a lot I think.

anglesee · 17/08/2022 08:50

I can relate to DH swanning behind with a back pack

And I don't have a nanny
