To still be cross at Jeremy Corbin's anorak

[popcornwizard]

It's 11 hours after the event, but at the cenotaph amongst all of the black coats stood Jeremy Corbin in a blue anorak with hood flapping, is this really the best he could do?

Oh ffs. At least he turned up and honoured the fallen. Is that really all you can come up with to Corbyn bash today?

I was having a go when I saw that. He's Michael Foot Mark 2.

He's a Muppet and l do actually believe that was a form of teenage angsty-esque 'sticking it to the man' he's a fanny.

Agree embra. He looked ridiculous

I thought exactly the same. He looked totally wrong in that awful raincoat!!!

Agreed I thought it looked deliberate. It had to be considering how much flack he’s had for this sort of thing in the past.

He was also wearing the smallest poppy he could find.

Anyone who thinks what he was wearing was more important than him actually being there is an idiot.

At least he sang the national anthem... 🤨

Yep, the bigger the poppy the more you care.

Blimey. Yes, YABU.

i cannot get heated about it,he was there i would see that as more important

some people just love to find fault

did you not get annoyed that Prince Philip didnt attend?

He looked fine to me.

I was looking at him, thinking "surely it's a black coat that just looks navy in the sunlight" but nope. Poor show.

I saw it. It did remind me of Michael Foot but at a Parade today I saw Cadets from more than one organisation wearing similar waterproof jackets so I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. I am no Corbyn fan but I can't get excited about this. Foot in his donkey jacket was far worse in my opinion.

I’m just glad that a man is finally being held up as not meeting style standards when it’s totally normal for a woman to be pasted for wearing something “inappropriate”, where her male equivalents get a by-ball.

Don’t see the issue. It isn’t meant to be a fashion parade. And the thousands of squaddies in the army certainly don’t come from families who all have expensive black wool smart coats, and will likely relate much more to Jeremy in his anorak than Theresa in her no doubt hundreds of pounds Italian posh coat. Get a grip.

He’s got form for this though, hardly surprising

He looked like he was about to embark on a shopping trip down to Tesco's or go off fishing.

I couldn't make up my mind which of those it was.

For such an important event, he was an embarrassment. He looked disgraceful; his overcoat wasn't even black apart from the hood and he never even has the decency to wear a black tie.

He was there, he looked like a petulant teenager, I can't believe that he doesn't have a decent coat. And Prince Philip is always impeccably turned out - you're being ridiculous comparing an anorak with a 97 year old gentleman.

But thats not why its being brought up is it Penny? its because there isnt some fringe labour lunatic ging on about 'zionists' to report on. I dont even like the man but the right policing remembrance day are 1000 times scummier.

I just knew that someone would complain about his coat. How small-minded some people are.

Oh Christ, you sound just like my bigoted husband, OP.

Oh for fucks sake.

It was rainy today so he wore a waterproof coat to an outdoor event.

He.attended the rememberence sunday service and participated. I have seen loads of people on twitter, facebook and now MN who didn't do any bloody thing, no poppy, no service, no minutes silence or quiet reflection, nothing st all.

But they criticise a.man who did.

Also he had a metal poppy pin, arguably something more lasting than the paper badges.

Im not a big fan of Corbyn but this criticism for.wearing a.waterproof coat in the rain is just fucking ridiculous and so petty.
