Just wondering how many actually believe that?

YABU = He is on a camping trip

YANBU = He is not on a camping trip

I wonder what Gavlar thinks about his boss enjoying his holidays while he’s in hot water up to his neck?

SwedishEdith · 20/08/2020 22:57

Was just about to post that link - a tent with a cottage attached. Clearly the weight loss is going well as well.

@TheClitterati

Found him.
Grinnice work! What's the hiding in a fridge reference I keep reading?
thinkingaboutLangCleg · 20/08/2020 22:59

He's gone to Barnards Castle to check his eyesight.

I’d put my money on his father’s place in Greece. Not convinced it will be with a baby though.
Sadly, I feel that not only is he an entirely negligent absent PM, but he is also overwhelmingly useless as a partner and father.

Dancingdeer77 · 20/08/2020 23:02

I very much doubt he is camping in the normal use of the word.
I hope to God he never gets elected again and am a lifelong Labour supporter. However I don’t think having a holiday is a problem. I don’t much care where it is. Having a break is generally good for cognitive function which he clearly needs.

EustaciaPieface · 20/08/2020 23:03

I know his sister Rachel was staying on the west coast, Renfrewshire, in the last few weeks. I assume it’s the same place? Doesn’t look much but it will be a very nice cottage I think.

TopCherry · 20/08/2020 23:04

Have we all forgotten he's had a baby that is now probably 4mths old and is in the sleep regression phase...

bubblebubblebubbletrouble · 20/08/2020 23:05

Knowing how data obsessed he is I actually wonder if DomCum has a tracker in the office & whenever wheresboris hits x number of tweets, the photo gets "leaked"

TheMarzipanDildo · 20/08/2020 23:06

Ach, I just don’t give a shiny shite anymore. A silly man.

As much as I'd like to be proven wrong I very much doubt Boris is being affected by his sons sleep regression. I honestly can't see him doing night feeds or getting up to settle the baby.

@DianaT1969

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.

Omg that tent 🤣 One up from LTB, kick him out to the badly put up tent. The doghouse much. The dog just needs to fart on it and it will fall over, never mind next to the Scottish coast prone to all of the elements

SwedishEdith · 20/08/2020 23:14

But that's not new.

I definitely wouldn't be spending the night in it, it could easily blow into the sea. Perhaps the PM thinks he weighs enough to weigh it down despite the elements. Imagine putting a baby in that.

The image sums up how reckless he seems, and that's not a desirable quality in a PM

Thisismadness · 20/08/2020 23:22

Is he staying in the place in the Mail photos - no
Is he staying with posh mates in Scotland - possibly
Snuck off to Greece to celebrate with pater - likely
Rehab - hope so.

SeekingCoffee33 · 20/08/2020 23:30

He doesn’t particularly look like he’s enjoying the holiday from the picture they took

JamieLeeCurtains · 20/08/2020 23:35

Are they fuck sleeping anywhere near that tent. That'll be for the staff.

TitsOutForHarambe · 20/08/2020 23:46

He's having a pint in The Winchester and waiting for all this to blow over.

JacobReesMogadishu · 20/08/2020 23:48

@Jux

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.
I was at a campsite in Wales once where someone had a baby. It seemed a semi planned thing. Nobody called an ambulance and everyone seemed quite chilled out and happy about the whole situation.

Wasn’t you was it?

lljkk · 21/08/2020 00:16

Do you suppose they have wifi in that Scottish cottage -- I imagine the tethering is crap. Where does the security detail sleep? Where is the nanny sleeping (tent?)

LarkDescending · 21/08/2020 00:21

I’d love to know who sold Boris his Specialist Midge Hat.

Perhaps it was a birthday present from Dom. “Honest, boss, with this in your rucksack you’ll be fine in a tent in Scotland. We’ll get you all over the DM and approval ratings will soar”.

HaveYouSeenMyFriendKimberley · 21/08/2020 00:28

With the forecast gales he oughtn't to be in a tent.

But he's such an arrogant big head who could say.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 21/08/2020 00:57

Dominic C probably sent Boris away somewhere remote so that he (Dominic) could get on & run the country without Boris interfering & causing chaos.

Wingedharpy · 21/08/2020 00:57

@AKissAndASmile : I agree completely.
