On his bike: this is an old pic but you can bet Boris Johnson couldn’t wait to run away from all the chaos he has caused.
Do you find it as disturbing as I do that Boris Johnson disappears on holiday whenever the going gets tough for his government?
He ran away when the country faced a huge flooding crisis back in February – can you remember that far back?
He’s away again now, in the middle of the furore over school exam results.
And he even took paternity leave at the height of the Covid-19 crisis, when his ministers were running around like headless chickens, cutting a swathe of death through the UK’s elderly and disabled population – and National Health Service workers.
He said he would go to Scotland for his break, but it would be more appropriate for him to visit in his official capacity – to apologise for, and explain why, his Scottish Conservative leader’s absence from a VJ Day anniversary event to act as a linesman in a football match.
It seems Johnson is not the only part-timer on the Conservatives’ team!
And it might do him some good to have to explain absenteeism by another member of his team.
In fact, if you are a Scottish reader of This Site and you happen upon Johnson in your day-to-day business, why not challenge him over this – and take video of it if you can?
Meanwhile the Twittering classes have been having fun:
What exactly is Boris Johnson taking a holiday from? It's certainly not work.

Johnson *legs it* on holiday !
We have :
*The pandemic still ripping through communities.
*The economy in meltdown
*A crisis in handling the Examination Results.
*Severe flooding in some parts of the country
A part-time, playboy PM.— Clare Hepworth OBE (@Hepworthclare) August 17, 2020
Oh… flooding back again, is it? No wonder Johnson has cleared off again, then.
