Just wondering how many actually believe that?

YABU = He is on a camping trip

YANBU = He is not on a camping trip

His Dad was 80 two days ago. I wonder where his Dad held his birthday celebration...

This sorta thing. For one night.And then a shooting party. All paid for by a mate. To whom a swathe of the NHS will then be sold.

I must admit, if all camping was like that, I would be perfectly happy with it.

This Dominic chap's supposed to be good at this stuff, right? Do why does he keep coming up with stories so ridiculous no one would believe it? So the PM's on holiday (or something), why try and persuade us he's roughing it in a field when staying with friends would do?

OddBoots · 20/08/2020 20:23

I don't have a problem with a PM lying about where they holiday.

If they were to be lying in the course of their job about matters of proper national interest or giving backhander contracts their their friends or putting people's lives and livelihoods at risk through incompetence or malice then that is an entirely different matter.

Remember how a few months ago he kept saying "it could have gone either way"? I think it went the other way, and that on his rare appearances, we've been seeing somebody in a Boris wig. Now they've run out of comedians willing to impersonate Boris; perhaps because even comedians and real clowns have standards.

Rosearch · 20/08/2020 20:27

@ReggieCat

Either in the Priory like he was when he supposedly had Covid-19, or in Greece celebrating his dad's birthday.
Not a Boris fan in the slightest but this post is surely libellous? There are several other posts along similar lines
Pinkmakeupbag · 20/08/2020 20:30

Has he actually said he's slumming it in a field with a shared bog though?

Camping trip in Scotland is pretty vague. Who cares if he's somewhere fancy?

I'm no fan of him but not sure it matter if he's camping, glamping or whatever.

The80sweregreat · 20/08/2020 20:36

I have this image of Boris with his towel over his shoulder and his matching toilet bag with his knock off crocs on in the socially distanced queue for the camp facilities and having to take the portable loo to be emptied out.
It's not a pleasant image , but makes me smile as I know this isn't happening anywhere!

plinkplinkfizzer · 20/08/2020 20:37

See I reckon he is staying at an American mates place , or two . Goes out every morning with a golf bag slung over his shoulder , before waving to Carrie and Archie or Winnie or Wilf whatever it's called. Before dumping golf bag and straight to bar to sample the Whisky .

dayswithaY · 20/08/2020 20:46

I bet he and Carrie have had a secret wedding somewhere posh and remote in Scotland.

🤣🤣🤣 I feel like we've been on similar camping trips for us to both be picturing the exact same image.

Just glad I'm not in next tent as I reckon he snores like an elephant and canvas isn't sound proofed

Oh wait...
Ursulasunderstudy · 20/08/2020 20:54

He’s in rehab.

GertrudeCB · 20/08/2020 20:56

Cant see him putting a tent up.........

toastmeahotcrossbun · 20/08/2020 20:57

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

To be fair he had coronavirus pretty badly and there are so many stories of the recovery taking a long time. If it was me there's no way I'd be in my sleeping bag on a groundsheet if so, given that I could afford to stay in a hotel or at my mates place if they had somewhere nice. Especially with a baby in tow.

He's on annual leave, to which he is perfectly entitled. Where he is spending it, is none of your business.

JammyHands · 20/08/2020 21:02

Sandbanks, at a guess.

LittleBearPad · 20/08/2020 21:06

He doesn’t strike me as the type to go camping but you never know. He’s reputedly quite tight so a tent may be more his style

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 20/08/2020 21:12

As quarantine applies to more and more countries, this evenings headlines are "Portugal added to UK's safe travel list".

So he is in Portugal presumably.

LightAsTheBreeze · 20/08/2020 21:13

Maybe he’s in the Queens back garden, isn’t she up there, he did use Buck House or somewhere like that to go running round the grounds in London iirc, it won’t be a tent from somewhere like millets though it will be a posh one or maybe a shepherds hut like DC has got

Redcrayons · 20/08/2020 21:16

Wherever he is, there’ll be a two week quarantine afterwards, so he doesn’t have to deal with the back to school shitshow.

Even The orange one Turns up every day.

There’s some kind of Russian super yacht (With helipad etc) been seen moored off the coast of Scotland in various places....
