Just wondering how many actually believe that?

YABU = He is on a camping trip

YANBU = He is not on a camping trip

Maybe he is still recovering from corona virus

One of the problems he has is being in permanent campaign/self publicity mode, rather than offering any sensible leadership or acting like a PM.

For all that it's made out he's clever, he certainly doesn't come across that way to me as he doesn't seem to even be on top of what's happening in the country, let alone anywhere near making effective plans about how to tackle problems.

Staying in a tent would not be a wise way to do so

Maybe he's just finding it hard to learn a new musical instrument & it's affected his concentration at work.

Are you a 28 year old graduate of the Kiev Conservatoire by any chance?

Funny you should ask that.....

It's always the daily mail with all these stories.
Boris Johnson was on the news just now with a red boiler suit on talking about schools , so his back!

@toastmeahotcrossbun

I can kind of see that security might have been more problematic there considering you could approach by air or sea. That's the only part of the story that rings true!
Plenty of lovely cottages in Scotland that are further away from the sea. Plus, Cameron always used to stay on the coast in Cornwall and the sea approach didn't seem to bother those responsible for his security even when he was plastered all over the papers sitting on the beach or admiring the local fresh fish display.

Aye cos a tent on the west coast of Scotland in August with pishing rain, howling winds and midges would be just the tonic

I think the sycophants are usually the kind of women who personally want to be nicely set up for life by A Boris Johnson type— plenty of them out there . Either that or they need to take the fact they support Brexit for whatever dodgy reason and separate that mentally from the fact that the current government are a bunch of inept twerps , tons of chutzpah and self belief, but basically a bunch of overpromoted estate agents with very little integrity or commercial experience between them

The ‘camping spot’ looks like it’s nice a close to the water somewhere where a yacht might pick you up - after a few pictures camping in chinos and a shirt....

CherryPavlova · 25/08/2020 22:11

......and the grass under the tent wasn’t even damaged.

udnertheradar · 25/08/2020 23:12

Yep. Check 'superinjunction' on Twitter

This is Tory camping

Who pitches a tent on sloping ground anyway? You'd never be able to sleep properly.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 26/08/2020 18:10

Anyone else getting tent/camping gear ads & baby clothes ads popping up on this thread?
Wondering whether yachting holidays & musical instrument ads will pop up next.

Talking of yachts the the idea of a news headline saying 'Boris Goes Yachting' makes me laugh.
Just imagine Boris in a skimpy mankini strutting his stuff, available to the person who writes the biggest cheque 🤣

With the added bonus of being able to do a spot of abseiling too, what's not to like. He could indulge his inner black magic man.
