Where's the P.M.? Shouldn't he be in view, not hiding away ?

He looks a bit older in his more recent photo.

Is it possible he thought the land where he pitched the tent belonged to the cottage?

How old is that picture of the PM and a violinist and what proof is it he had an affair with her?

Given his track record I’m not saying he didn’t, just that the photo proves nothing.

How many of these useless people?

Ho many utterly useless ministers do this government need as sacrificial goats?

Quite apart from Gavin Williamson, they've already got Priti Patel, Matt Hancock and Chris Grayling (is he still a minister? or does it matter?, I'm sure he could be blamed for something)

There is only one reason why Gavin Williamson has not been sacked yet- they have to keep him as sacrificial goat for later.

Boris Johnson doesn't do detail Elegran

Did no-one even know that it is a common courtesy to ask permission to camp on private land? Did no-one ask because it is all right to pitch your tent wherever you wish in England or Wales?

Was it because no-one checked up on the position and the custom in Scotland? - if that was the reason, there was perhaps good reason that the Scottish farmer could be an SNP with an agenda! It might even turn him into one.

p**s in

I doubt whether Gavin Williamson has any idea which direction to in

Firecracker thinks that the farmer who was furious at Johnson climbing a fence onto his land without permission to pitch a tent, and lighting a campfire is " . . probably an SNP plonker with an agenda." but he is more probably a farmer with stock and/or crops who is aware of the potential results of lighting random fires in August.

Why did anyone think that it was permissable or even advisable to camp wild without permission just because it was Scotland and not Surrey? There are plenty of recognised camping and caravan sites in Scotland, many of them in remote picturesque places. Where there isn't one, it is a common courtesy to call on a landowner to ask whether it is OK - did no-one do that?

Of course Johnson needs a large tent alongside to keep his ministers where he can see ‘em, p***i g out. That’s why Gavin Williamson, still in post I imagine. Doesn’t want him p***ing in

So someone who objects to tourists clambering over their land is described, with no evidence, a "plonker". I would suggest the PM would be more worthy of that description

I think you need to watch the video of Boris saying that the Deal is oven rady, just put in microwave at Gas whatever!

We agreed to leave on very clear terms- eg a level playing field which would not undercut the EU - and the UK has backtracked on this non-stop since then - going backwards - and very dishonest.

Furious farmer reveals Boris Johnson 'climbed over his fence to set up 8ft tent WITHOUT permission and lit a dangerous campfire before fleeing Highlands holiday cottage'... leaving his MINDERS to clean up

The farmer was probably an SNP plonker with an agenda

It was the WA that was oven ready, not the trade deal which wasn't discussed before the WA had been agreed. FGS, how many more times does this point have to be repeated?!!!

Barnier had the virus, did he not, so perhaps he needed a holiday. Then again he probably didn't have it too badly because he wasn't obese.

I don't suppose Brexit worries Macron or Barnier very much, after all why should it? Things in EU countries will go on much as they do now, whereas we of course will be up Shit Creek without a paddle, led by a man who can't even put up his own tent.

You have a better sense of perspective Ellianne
?

Boris can go on his (well earned) jollies because David Frost is sat behind the steering wheel.

It will all be more intense in a couple of weeks.

Forget brexit? Forget something that is going to throw the country in as much turmoil as the virus? Yes, I'm sure a lot of people would like to forget it. What happened to the oven ready deal that was promised?

And to those who say ‘well what about the stalled Brexit negotiations?’ one has to bear in mind it hasn’t stopped other EU leaders (Macron and his swimming trunks for example) taking a break in August too.
Mais naturellement, Urmstongran, it's August, forget Brexit. Michel Barnier himself halted all talks a few weeks ago so he could jet off on his holiday.

I like Marina Hyde’s articles in the Guardian. She’s smart and has an amusing take on people.

However she does bang on about Boris being lazy. She’s singing to her disciples obviously but one surely has to say - hang on, he DID have Covid remember! He was in intensive care - two nurses verified that fact. We can all recall how washed out he actually was mid March when he came out of hospital. Some people can’t accept he did need a holiday to recharge his batteries.

Boris apparently livid that the Daily Mail disclosed his Scottish holiday location. Imagine how livid he’s going to be when he discovers exam results mess, the failing track and trace system and the lack of progress on Brexit negotiations

Sorry about the shouty capitals but it comes from the DM

Lucca Marina Hyde is always worth reading. She manages to deflate the pompous without being rude.
