It Was A Political Junket

---

 RULE NO 2 - NO 'real' NAMES !

A. There was no official invitation from the Oo of Oo Ba Doo. It was not an official visit.
B. So it was nothing more than a political junket.Dictionary, Definitions from Oxford Languages
noun: junket; plural noun: junkets
1. informal, an extravagant trip or celebration, in particular one enjoyed by a government official at public expense.

The whole fiasco can be cleared up in an instant if they can show black and white proof of an official invitation from the Oo of Oo Ba Doo.  For example :
 "HRH the Oo of Oo Ba Doo hereby extends his official invitation to the Happy Grasshopper to come on an official visit to the fiefdom of Oo Ba Doo from the 35th to the 38th day of the season of the Weeds."   Mystery solved. The problem is there was no such invitation. So the mystery remains. Why? To what purpose? To impress the people back home - at the public's expense of course.  That they were highly regarded by the fiefdom of Oo Ba Doo, home to the Mother of Two Cities.   Great treaties would be signed. There were none.Great swarms of FDI golden locusts would fall upon our heads.  There were none.Great cohorts of saviours would come. There were none.
It was just a political junket. A gimmick. Another one for the TV cameras, Instagram, Twitter and what not. Also they could charge the whole trip to Mr and Mrs 'Dont know what is going on'.  Because someone (else) had to pay for the entire entourage.

Since there was no official invitation this could not be an official trip. If it was not an official trip there cannot be an entourage tagging along at public expense.

So it was made to appear like an official visit at the official invitation of the Oo of Oo Ba Doo.  publicly unannounced trip people weren’t too sure if private or official visittiming wasn’t right, beginning of feasting 
press release stating visit was at invitation of Oo of Oo Ba Doo
further stated that audiences with Big Oo and Small Oo 
media seemed to pick up interest 
all meetings reported on hourly basis
However no meeting with Big Oo and Small Oobecame clear there would be no meetingThere was no meeting because the Oo of Oo Ba Doo had never extended an official invitation. There was no such thing.
