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?

Actually, I am much more outraged by the expression "gave their lives" than I could possibly be by Corbyn's coat, or Theresa May's odd suit.

Tony Blair told him to do it.

Dress as a man of the people, said Swiss Tony, don't worry, I'll be right behind you in my Armani suit and coat

If it was really coming down he could have worn his little hat.

Of course! The hat that his team got so worked up about and accused the BBC of photoshopping onto him. (Because he’s so laser-focused on the things that matter.)

Would it have kept the rain off properly though? I’m doubtful. I think the hood would be Corbyn’s go-to weather-appropriate head covering.

Am no fan of Corbyn, he's a misogynistic dithering arsehole, but this does seem petty.
I was more pissed off with May and co standing there all faux sad while still selling bombs to the Saudis to kill more poor people.

No I think it's porous. It would have resembled an incontinent cat after a few hours.

Exactly. That’s why the Gore-Tex (or other breathable yet water repellant fabric) hood would have been the choice for the Leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition.

That little hat is more for a dry and slightly chilly day. But it does have that jaunty ‘70s university sit-in chic about it. I can see why it’s winning over the country.

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

Like Hitler LesMeninas?

Autocorrect, yes sure that was the problem.
You've had your arse

Wow this is a "Famous Blue Raincoat" isn't it?

Hallelujah! Daphne

The War of Corbyn’s Coat

If Corbyn’s coat is wrong,
the others’ coats must be right.
The dead cannot see coats.
Day cannot see night.

Hurrah for the warriors of the press!
We know what rocks their boat:
at the sight of a million dead,
they quibble over Corbyn’s coat.

Let us praise famous coats,
worn to mourn the dead of war;
worn by those who lead us
as their bombs slay even more.

It’s not his coat they hate.
That’s not really their cause
What gets up all their noses?
He opposes all their wars.

Let us imagine the day -

or it could perhaps be night.
The politicians start a war
and no one turns up to fight.

Following the man not the politics

No - following the man because of his political stance. That's different.

Oh yes he has opposed all wars

But friends with terrorist groups

Good old Corbyn sticking it to the establishment who we know are terrified of him

Maybe you should worry more about the fact that the woman stood next to him is selling arms to Saudi Arabia, who are killing thousands of children in Yemen.

It is famous - and rightly so. Who else but Corbyn could carry that off?

I suspect it could become a real classic, like Kelly and Burkin bags, or Harringtons. Yes, the Jezza-ak, or maybe Cor-goule.

Stop it

More Whatsboutery!

Yes that's right, your either with Corbyn or you are a Theresa May Superfan.

If it's any help JCC I found you unremarkable

I am concerned that we are involved in many issues I do not support but would equally like a party lead by a leader I felt could manage being PM

And I would like a Labour Party leader to not act like a petulant teenager I don’t think that is much to expect from the leader of the opposition

My god!

Does the little hat speak too?

The size of his poppy?! The colour of his coat?? REALLY???

What about a coat made of Dalmatian puppies?

I speak for us all.

He doesn't like biscuits , remember?
