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?

It wasn't tweed, my memory was playing up. More courduroy or velour.

"Boris, are you saying if Labour get in they won't adopt it?"

Nope, but the Tories would have done so already if they didn't have to rely on the ultra conservative DUP.

I love the old trots and their dress sense. It’s a badge.

It’s like Tony Benn (you remember him: Viscount Stansgate) and his affectation of drinking only tea and only out of mugs - like a good working class person would. In his world.

It takes a lot of thought to dress in a way that no-one else has for fifty years. And to advocate policies that no-one else has since the fall of Honecker. (Apart from the recent leaders of Venezuela of course, a regime Corbyn is very keen on.)

I rock a similar vibe tbf!

Found it quite difficult to dress for Sunday myself.

I think there are far more worse things in the world to get het up about. So yeah I think yabu. It's just a coat. Get over it!

I can't believe this thread is still going and that people are actually enraged by a 69 year old man in a cagoule.

op. Could you be any more shallow?

How dare you call that smart waterproof coat a cagoule?

Now I'm really enraged.

Corbyn's wardrobe buddy. How very dare he.

Actually, if there were two politicians out there who could be trusted to be humane above all else, it would be Corbyn and Trudeau. Blue anoraks are for men who care more about others than their own image.

I've heard it all now.

Mind you never saw Jesus in a navy did you?

Actually, if there were two politicians out there who could be trusted to be humane above all else, it would be Corbyn

Yeah of course.

WTF? Why should it matter what one wears?

'Prince Philip is always impeccably turned out'

The Monarchy cost the taxpayer £300m, so it's unsurprising they have some VERY expensive clobber.

£300million per year I mean!!

It doesn't matter how expensive it otherwise. All grown men in school coats with hoods look silly.

I only vote for politicians who wear something brown on election day. That's how I choose.

Wow! You are being totally unreasonable. The man was there to show his respects... appearances don’t matter in the slightest!

To be honest I was convinced Vince Cable was wearing trainers. This is the biggest pile of bs really but lots of people have already made the warmonger vs anorak wearer comparison so ...

It's about looking professional and a blue anorak on such an important occasion did show that looking smart and respectful wasn't a priority for him. Armed forces events are usually smart and the veterans tend to appreciate officials looking as though they have made an effort for the occasion.
If he's still stuck in a student "what I wear doesn't matter I am more important than social protocol" mentality he doesn't deserve to lead the country. He isn't a pennyless student

@user1468942365 OP was saying 'Prince Philip is always impeccably turned out'. Yeah of course he is, we pay millions of pounds to clothe the Royals.

@nicslackey high five!

I’m ‘cross’ about homeless ex servicemen dying on the streets and about 4m + children living in poverty in one of the richest countries in the world. I’m ‘cross’ about the way our NHS is being treated and about the way the most vulnerable in society are being scapegoated. I don’t give a fuck what Corbyn wore to the Remembrance events. Ok, if he’d turned up stark naked with a poppy on his dick I would have been judgy, but a perfectly respectable navy jacket, nah, can’t get het up about that. All that frothing and media coverage just shows a seriously skewed sense of priorities - or a very successful attempt at diverting attention

Prince Phillip would also look silly in a child's coat! It's the coat. Any grown man in a child's hooded school coat in any situation looks ridiculous. That overrides party politics and totals. Even the hysterical Corbyn cult. They are creepy.

Royals stupid phone!

I was wondering earlier what type of dick would get all het up about a choice of raincoat when millions lost their lives...

Some people just look untidy he is one of them
