Dh said he was.

Why is he not involved in the education fiasco?

He's on holiday like he was "on holiday" when he hid in that fridge. He's known to hide away from any kind of disaster (presumably because he's likely to make it worse with his flabby-faced blustering which offers nothing but laughable Trump-lite soundbites for the plebs to be reassured by).

I bet Cummings has sellotaped him to the radiator in the basement, knowing he can just bide his time and eventually Hancock, Williamson and Patel will all take the shit for current situations and Boris can slide out of the cellar with his floofy hair, bashfully pretending he's learned how to change one of his (7 or 8) children's nappies during his "holiday".

I think he's in Scotland. There was even mention of him camping for a bit.

Isn’t he in Scotland this week and next?

There is no way on earth that inept shart knows how to erect a tent.

I will eat my own left arm if I am proven wrong.

ChicCroissant · 17/08/2020 22:10

He did say he was going away last week - also, he doesn't like to be the bearer of bad news. Camping, allegedly Hmm

Redolent · 17/08/2020 22:10

Of course he wanted to go away during the inevitable exam results shitshow.

PurpleDaisies · 17/08/2020 22:10

He’s in hiding.

Unwise. Nicola may be coming after him with a claymore.

Merryoldgoat · 17/08/2020 22:13

Maybe Carrie gave him another black eye.

ChicCroissant · 17/08/2020 22:13

I don't know how anyone could doubt that Boris likes camping in Scotland during the two weeks that the exam results that he cancelled would come out.

Obviously doesn't have as much confidence in that education Special Adviser to handle things as he does in Dominic C-more-clearly.

Isn't parliament on recess?

BrandNewShinyThings · 17/08/2020 22:15

Reckon he went to France and didn't want to quarantine, so he's holed up in some chateau downing vin rouge and nibbling on some brie and croissant.

Bluntness100 · 17/08/2020 22:16

This made me giggle, trying to imagine the three of them camping,🤣

I suspect they are glamping, there are some lovely glamping sites that are very, very high end, the site will also likely be closed off for them, due to the excess security he travels under.

It’s not going to be wild camping or pitching a tent shit.

No portaloos or 50p for the shower then?

Plus their dog as well.

CelestialSpanking · 17/08/2020 22:19

YABU if you’re at all surprised by Johnson being totally fucking useless in any kind of crisis and buggering off on holiday.

SmileEachDay · 17/08/2020 22:19

This.

Although I recently had a conversation with a friend and we agreed that Cummings is likely to have a sex torture dungeon. So maybe that’s where BoJo is 🤷🏻‍♀️

ginandbearit · 17/08/2020 22:21

He's shacked up with Laura Kuensberg in a pad in Pimlico ..Carries gone off with his body guard ..so a recent rumour suggested 😉😀

Stannisbaratheonsboxofmatches · 17/08/2020 22:24

Bollocks is he camping. He’s probably got a mate with a stately home or something he can stay in.

Bluntness100 · 17/08/2020 22:26

Something like this, it will be proper high end. And as said they will book out the whole site and shut it down.

SarahBellam · 17/08/2020 22:27

Doesn’t really matter whether he’s on holiday or not. He’s fucking useless. If he didn’t have to deliver Brexit the Tories would have binned him by now.

FilthyforFirth · 17/08/2020 22:27

What has parliament on recess got to do with the prime minister running the country?! He isn't only PM when parly is in session....

BGirlBouillabaisse · 17/08/2020 22:28

@spaghettiforhair

Parliament is on recess but schools are also on recess. Teachers have been in school helping secure students' destinations. What has Johnson been doing?
