Get off my land! 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

by the way. What is cred-ratings for the Daily Mail. I only started looking at it as I found an app for my phone. Seems quite decent.

You can believe that BS if you want. Why would Cummings leak that location picture to the DailyFail? Why did BJ feel unsafe there and move on? If he did have Nats outside protesting then fair enough you’d see why he would want to leave. He didn’t though did he?
My money is on this Russian owned Yachton its way to London from the Firth of Forth.

Johnson feeling unsafe is baloney. Loads of security around. And as if it could be kept secret with his motorcade and retinue.

The farmer may well have been furious, but permission to set up a tent would probably not have been necessary.

Judging by the photos of kitchen chairs being used to climb over the fence, it doesn't sound like it was pitched on open land, but in an enclosed field.

From the photos it appears to be an area of enclosed rough grazing land, with no sign of crops or farm animals so perfectly ok to camp there.

An example of a farmer taking back control of his borders.

Yet another mess Boris left for someone else to clean up.

Farmer should just have either released his own bull into the field or asked a friend...

Tinder-dry conditions in Applecross

Overweening git. (Boris, that is.)

Johnson really needs to start worrying if the Daily Mail is reporting against him.

That got me confused, is there a dry applecross in another parallel universe the DM reports from?

This story is so multi-layered with untruths I don't know where to start! That tent is pitched so abominably on sloping ground I struggle to believe anyone slept in it!

I was confused by this as well, the fire was wrong (and where did he get the wood?), climbing the fence was wrong, as he was staying in a cottage next door he wasn't really wild camping so it was a bit iffy. Small herd of goats would have sorted him out. (To quote Professor Calculus in TinTin 'Make way for the goat!')
