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

Fudge 😀
Wave! Sounds like a good name for a counselor !
I love the whole 'rehab ' idea. Mumsnet usually has the ' news' first so nothing would surprise me about our PM really.

If any of it is remotely true , it would have to be a real navel gazing place with odd fruit for breakfast and lots of pan piped music to chill you out. Lots of ' tell me about your childhood' chit chat and motivational talks from former addicts. It's how I imagine these kinds of places to be anyway and seems the type of place Carrie would ' source' in order to ' sort him out for good' and help with the food/ alcohol / self esteem ' issues or whatever the problem is ( apart from being a bit useless at running the country )
If it is rehab surely the press would have cottoned on by now ? I ve no idea at all, but it's all very strange. Maybe the whole Tory party are away together on one big flash boat moored up somewhere?
Who knows?

@dayswithaY

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

This. I reckon he'll announce it soon. Possibly to coincide with (more) bad news.

Here's your answer!

I've just read upthread about BJ being on paternity leave, I reckon his girlfriend threatened to leave and take the baby if he didn't take some time off

Our dd was born on a camping trip.
She went on her first proper camping trip when she was about 6m.
We took her camping every year until a few years ago - I had to stop camping due to disability, just couldn't hack it any more. DD, however, continues to camp every year more than once.

He's at Pontins and is watching a Bucks Fizz reunion concert at the table next to mine. Don't worry, we're outdoors and all social distancing. I saw him in McDonald's yesterday getting a 50% off double whopper meal. So if he's doing a fat camp here, then he escaped.

A photo of a tent and a stock photo of Johnson. Hmmmm 🤔

Well, if he build red buses as a hobby, what prevents him from having imaginary camping trips?

My view is he is not ruling, just brought out on PM questions to waffle for a bit and then they put him safely out of view (and away from the china) and repeat a week later.

I don’t get why MN thinks posh people don’t camp. The only posh people I know camp.
He is 100% wearing mismatching shorts with an old shirt, wellies on when you cba to touch other people, wooly hat when it’s boiling but an early morning chill. He is 100% camping. He is 100% the type!!!

Thanks LEELULUMPKIN

Interesting article because it mentions strong coastal winds and yet that tent looks quite close to the sea! Good that it comes with a cottage eh.
PM has a 'specialist hat' to keep out midges which looked quite like a woolly hat.

I went on my first camping trip at 4 months old. We drove from Scotland to the south of France and camped on a tent (all 7 of us).

My parents were crazy!

If Twitter is to be believed, he and Carrie have split up anyway.

I bet he is camping at a £5000 a night luxury rental with a new woman complaining things have got boring at home since the baby arrived.

@Jux you GAVE BIRTH while camping?? Please fill us in! I mean, not all the gory details but - come on, what happened?

Gastric bypass.

That tent looks like it was constructed simply for the photo opportunity, I'd bet my house on the fact neither he, carrie, the baby or the dog have slept in it.

Agree that camping with a baby pre weaning is super easy. Could he be staying in Barnard Castle?!

@sleepyhead

He'll be on a vast estate in Scotland somewhere blasting birds out of the air.

If he was camping he'd have leaked a man-of-the-people photo by now.

This. He is on holiday for the 12th August (start of grouse shooting). What an astounding co-incidence

I hope a springer spaniel nips his ankles.

I really hope he isn't staying in the tent shown in the Mail article .

That's the worst-put-up tent I've ever seen.

I reckon Carrie, baby Wilfred and the dog are all in the house and Bojo is outside in that tent.

Let's look around the real players who actually work:
Merkel - no holiday
Macron - working from a holiday spot. Yes, at the end of the day he gets to go down to the beach.
Arden - doesn't seems like she was
I can't even find info on putin being on holiday.... :)

I am really interested in how come people aren't asking for this clown's head publicly?

And for months now I can only think of the frog in boiling water....

If I'd employed John the local plumber I would expect him not to bugger off while my house was flooding after he broke the stop cock.

Enough of the analogy, I reckon he is organising his wedding and looking for replacement mistress.

PM has a 'specialist hat' to keep out midges confused which looked quite like a woolly hat.

Twitter has been speculating all evening that he's not really camping in Scotland. Lots of Scots have said ' in midge season? No chance, pull the other one' . So the Daily Mail has fitted in that nice little detail about his midge-catching hat.

Ardern had a baby during her premiership and took just six weeks off. This clown has been off for half of the pandemic. He's had holidays, sick leave, paternity leave and just disappeared every time the shit hit the fan. And when he's 'working' he's just part time.

My guess is he'll be gone by Christmas. I'm going to put some money on someone else being PM by then...Gove?
