To think our Prime Minister is not on a camping trip

[toastmeahotcrossbun]

Just wondering how many actually believe that?

YABU = He is on a camping trip

YANBU = He is not on a camping trip

80s
Apparently he had to make a slight detour and pull over and set up camp, in the Highlands, as he was feeling a little sick. He had been on his way to a meeting in Nottinghill at the time.

I heard he was at Jura House, Inner Hebrides. A favourite of David Cameron’s apparently.

I've no idea where he is and I don't really care.

But lots of posh people go camping. We are not posh but we do camp at some very very nice sites and they are full of well to do people with fancy tents, very expensive cars and brand new top of the range camper vans.

He probably is off somewhere in a fancy place with a night of some kind of camping fit in.

But camping isn't always slumming it.

Placemarking for the juicy goss.
No way would I go camping with a baby either. It's great when you're a couple on your own though.

Maybe Trump has given him a free stay at his Scottish resort while he sells him our NHS?
Personally I think Guantanamo Bay is too good for him.

I think the point is that all politicians now have to go through this charade of loving traditional U.K. holidays, however unlikely given their apparent preferences and resources.

It seems particularly unlikely that Johnson is taking what would normally be described as a camping holiday.

Found him.

where will Boris plug in his hairdryer and styling tools in a tent?

Not to mention somewhere to keep his clothes looking pristine and not as if he'd fished them out of a sack destined for the tip/charity shop?

He went to France, he thought it would be lovely this year without so many British holidayers

I am no fan of Johnson or his policies but he is entitled to take a holiday with whoever constitutes his family this year. I don’t give a fuck where he goes, as one assumes they have telephones and internet connections everywhere.

Don't worry Johnson manages to get away when he needs a break

of course that's his entitlement...

My twitter doesn't have rumours about BJ.. I'm kind of fascinated how people have very different twitter feeds!

I think he is still not well and that the whole experience has completely shaken him. Hopefully he will come back firing on all cylinders after a break. I am speaking as a staunch Conservative and wavering in my support of him, but just hope he will come back healthy.

It's Grouse season.

I wonder why there have been no photos , official or otherwise...injunction ?

This is probably Boris's idea of camping!

I’m no fan of BJ but some of the comments on this thread are bordering on libellous.

I can't abide the man but actually don't have a problem with him having a private holiday and I don't care where he goes and nor do I want to know or see photos of him.

What pisses me off is why do they lie and lie and lie? Obviously he's not camping, he'll be in a nice hotel and why not. It's like when he said his hobby was making buses out of wine crates. He knew he was lying, the interviewer knew, the listener knew ... why do it? Why not just say I like playing tennis. That's fine. It's the way they lie for the sake of it and everyone knows and apparently that's ok. Drives me mad!!

Personally, I'm not really sure the leader of a large country should be taking any holiday in the middle of an ongoing crisis.

Poor bloke needs a holiday - there's a reason that we insist on F/T employees having 28 days a year holiday. You can't function properly without a break, especially with a new baby.

We did not handle the crisis that well - but then no other population dense country did. But it was something completely new, that we couldn't have foreseen. I doubt (especially given the level of grammar of their posts) that many of the PP could have done much better.

I reckon he's B&Bing at prince Charles' gaff.

Oh come on, poor bloke needs a holiday. Insisting on 28 days holiday, it's been more like 28 days work with him with the rest being holiday.

I am no fan of Johnson or his policies but he is entitled to take a holiday with whoever constitutes his family this year. I don’t give a fuck where he goes, as one assumes they have telephones and internet connections everywhere.

No he isn't. Why are leaders in other countries, erm, leading? In a crisis, the leader shouldn't fuck off on holiday.

I think plenty of countries with dense populations have handled the crisis well - mostly in Asia. Vietnam, Taiwan, Singapore....

Very well said and I also agree with AlternativePerspective

People like that don't go camping for a solid week with a tiny baby in the weather we've had recently.

And if they did it would be glamping somewhere exclusive. Otherwise all and sundry would be going to the papers about how they were bickering when they were putting up the tent. Or being nosey at the cath kidson camping wear in the washing up section.

Or pictures of boris coming back from the shower. Or going to the toilet first thing in the morning
