To be wearing red?

[BrittaPie]

I just think it is a good way of pecefully showing objection. Big red pashmina here :-)

What exactly are you objecting to OP?

Its the conjugation of a political issue and it representing the opposite political spectrum from the person its being used to protest about that does it for me, kotinka.

I'm struggling to think of a communist regime which has not been horribly oppressive to its people. Its so easy to forget that with our first world problems in this country.

I'm wearing a pink towel and a grey Dressing gown can some one tell me what I'm objecting to?

my apologies kotinka

believe me I have no intention of anyone seeing me in my beautiful (read very old and comfy) black pj's. unless johnny depp happens to be in the area

Well I have just glimpsed on my PC that the Queen is wearing black....but I have honestly never seen her looking so cheerful. Grinning from ear to ear!

Cracking comment in the schoolyard this morning from one parent "lots of protesting here today, even the children are wearing red!" Erm yes, thats because the uniform of the school is in fact red....

The Queen is obviously promoting Ninjas then huh?

YANBU to wear red, even if there's no meaning whatsoever.

(But be careful in case anyone automatically thinks you're in support of North Korea... ffs)

You could be right kotinka but after reading this thread I'm worried I'll wear the wrong colour, maybe nudity is the way to go today.

What exactly are you objecting to OP?

Not wanting to hijack what I have read as the not too serious tone of this thread...I think those who want to object peacefully to public funds being spent on pomp and circumstance celebrating someone whose legacy many consider to be a major cause of the moral and financial ills rumbling on at the moment, and who should indeed be sent off privately and left to rest in peace, should be encouraged to do so in whatever way they see fit!

Britta YANBU!

I'm thinking if I go nude then I only risk offending everyone, my only concern is that someone could think my stretchmarks are a road map.

"If you're wearing a dark blue suit and carrying a little boxy handbag, that could be misinterpreted..."

Chucks handbag in boot of car and replaces it with Aldi carrier bag...
Better mess up my hair a bit too, it looks a tad formal.
Do you think I should defer from referring to myself as "One" for the day as well?

Black trousers and a black and white striped top, because they are half dirty and my washing heap is the size of the national debt.

I think it's fine if anyone wants to do a peaceful protest by the way, I just think that wearing red may be a bit too subtle and the supposed significance will be completely lost on the majority of the public.

I'm wearing a red fleece jumper. Sent ds and dd2 off to school in usual red uniform. Becoming-more-politically-aware dd1 has worn her red coat.

I'm struggling to understand what bit of sectarianism in Glasgow LessMissAbs is talking about. Blue and green, totally! But what's the significance of red that I've missed (only lived here 8 years!).

Would have been lost on me had I not seen this thread.... I am wearing red today but only because I often do, being one of my favourite colours. I imagine wearing it 'as a protest' would be lost on most TBH.

Gosh, I would like to show objection in a non-offensive way. I don't really have anything bright red it doesn't suit me. Could manage burgandy/wine, doesn't have the same effect. Am wearing dark blue denim and a navy stripy top, whoops. It never occurred to me that people might make assumptions on my political views based on what i 'm wearing today.

One of my Facebook friends changed his cover photo to a picture of the Iron Lady today. I laughed a lot. Fool.

There is a red stripe on my socks though. Or does that make me a communist? ;-)

Perhaps Mumms Cordon Rouge?

Pmsl at mumms Cordon Rouge - do they still sell that.
"I name this ship... goodness thats Mumms Cordon Rouge champagne, thats far to good to waste on a ship...."
Tasted revolting too!!

Red skirt here (deliberately chosen). Colleague had red coat on and we rushed out of office to see the procession going down Fleet St!
