Mayor of London Boris Johnson came under fire last summer when he failed to return from his holiday whilst the capital was in a state of upheaval, caused by three days of riots.
But now, it has emerged that Boris’ holiday was, in fact, spent in a caravan. As the London riots got underway the Mayor was caravanning in a remote area of Canada.
With the upcoming London Mayoral elections due to take place on May 4th, last summer’s mistake is back to haunt him – in a recent candidates’ debate Ken Livingstone was quick to mention Boris’ delayed return to the capital.
Johnson responded, “I was in a caravan stuck up a mountain with very poor mobile reception and I was a good 300 miles from the nearest airport. As soon as it was obvious what was going on, I got back as fast as I could.”
Boris has already revealed his love of the outdoors in his Daily Telegraph column, writing: “At the risk of sounding like a character from Enid Blyton, there is absolutely nothing to beat camping.”
CaravanTimes can only speculate on Boris’ choice of caravan, but given his political experience, a Bailey Senator would certainly be a fitting option.
