Just wondering how many actually believe that?

YABU = He is on a camping trip

YANBU = He is not on a camping trip

I did BLW! It's just nicer when they're nappies are bm-only not food based...

@ICouldHaveCheckedFirst

Like an 'Escape room', trapped ?
More like the Crystal Maze....he's been locked in never to come out again, meanwhile Dominic is in the dome collecting gold tokens by the 100's. Grin

His father is in Greece celebrating his 80th, would make sense if he was there. Or he's being sheltered on the estate of some dodgy tory donor.

Dahlietta · 20/08/2020 18:37

Anyone who is a camper would know that it's easiest to take a four month old, before weaning starts!

He's not a camper though, is he?

helloitsmeyetagain · 20/08/2020 18:37

giletrouge that is unkind. Wasps have a useful purpose.

IveSeenThings · 20/08/2020 18:39

He probably isn't Dahlietta but I was responding to dimiddavidby.

Callipygion · 20/08/2020 18:39

If he is camping I hope his tent blows down and he gets bitten to buggery by midges.

Surely he would have been spotted though by now? The paps must have their cameras trained on S Johnson's house night and day if there is a chance BJ is there!

@CarrieBlue

‘If’ he’s camping, it’s in the grounds of someone’s estate and it’s in a safari style lodge with all mod cons.
This. And he’s now in a shooting holiday I reckon.
AuntyFungal · 20/08/2020 18:41

I can’t quite imagine BoJo pumping up his air mattress / faffing with guy ropes or slipping on his crocs whilst shuffling to the communal shower block.

@keiratwiceknightly

I suspect he had a nights v posh glamping so he couldn't be accused of lying. And since then he has been lording it up somewhere v high end indeed.

Twitter is awash with rumours that he is in fact abroad, or in rehab, or that he and Carrie have split up.

That's what my money would be on, too.
TinySleepThief · 20/08/2020 18:43

On a slight side note surely even if he is abroad its unlikely carrie and the baby are because they postponed registering new births for a while and without the birth certificate would they have even been able to get the baby a passport?

wildcherries · 20/08/2020 18:45

Tbh it doesn't matter where he is the bottom line is that he isn't dealing with the crises the country is facing. again

On point.

If you're the Home Secretary's boss I reckon you can get a passport fairly quickly ....

But yeah, he's probably having a rest cure somewhere.

inickedyourbiro · 20/08/2020 18:46

baby gets left with nanny or mum stays at home

BJ goes to scotland to shoot every defenceless bird in sight courtesy of some rich c* old etonian who will shortly be awarded a contract / post with the new PHE replacement body

arsehole

ReggieCat · 20/08/2020 18:46

Either in the Priory like he was when he supposedly had Covid-19, or in Greece celebrating his dad's birthday.

Ingridla · 20/08/2020 18:48

Camping my fucking arse. He's on a yacht belonging to someone terrible 100 per cent.

Janaih · 20/08/2020 18:49

Place marking for the lols!

Heffalooomia · 20/08/2020 18:49

he is MIA, will he return FUBAR?
he's certainly FUBAR-ing the country :(

herecomesthsun · 20/08/2020 18:50

it is just possible that he is in a luxurious arrangement with a feather bed, wood burner. tigerskin rugs etc for 1 night. Possibly a serving wench on call.

but YANBU

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 20/08/2020 18:51

Disappointing - research last week led me to believe that he was in imminent danger if struck by lightning.
Probably just hiding in a fridge somewhere to avoid the exam results debacle.

What evidence do you have he was in the Priory? He’s an arse. But I think the illness was genuine.

And no o don’t think he’s been staying in a tent in this weather. We would have had a “fighting in the trenches” photo shoot.

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 20/08/2020 18:53

Tbh it doesn't matter where he is the bottom line is that he isn't dealing with the crises the country is facing.

That's probably a good thing.
Better chance of an OK outcome if he has less involvement.

The80sweregreat · 20/08/2020 18:55

His probably ' glamping' in a ' naice' tent or holed up somewhere in a hotel. I cannot see either of them as 'real ' camping types to be honest. Carrie seems too high maintenance for all that malarkey ( not that I blame them really as I've done it and hated it all. )

Either way his not around to take any flak and will reappear when all the exam news has moved on and be Mr positive again!
The Tories don't really care where he is as Mr Cummings runs the show anyway.
