To still be cross at Jeremy Corbin's anorak

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?

Not for me you don't.

I'm FURIOUS he left me at home.

KissingInTheRain · 13/11/2018 22:43

I speak for us all.

What, for all of his clothes? I imagine you were elected as spokesgarment by a democratic vote.

What do his socks have to say?

JeremyCorbynsCoat · 13/11/2018 22:43

As an aside. I might keep this username.

@JeremyCorbynsLittleHat don't worry. Sometimes it's nice to stay at home. Have you seen what they're saying about me? You try to serve a purpose 🙄 I'm just a coat. JUST A COAT. I have one job and I do it well!

HauntedPencil · 13/11/2018 22:45

Did you know he will only wear two left socks?

JeremyCorbynsCoat · 13/11/2018 22:46

Being spokesgarment isn't easy.

The socks have different opinions to each other and can be really quite volatile it's hard work. Don't even get me started on the shoes.

HauntedPencil · 13/11/2018 22:46

Are they Blairites?

JeremyCorbynsCoat · 13/11/2018 22:49

No but they do steal sandwiches from veterans

KissingInTheRain · 13/11/2018 22:50

We haven’t heard about his shoes (or from his shoes either).

Did they complete the look? I bet they were the soft and shabby sort loved by geography teachers.

HauntedPencil · 13/11/2018 22:51

I've NEVER heard about his shoes and I think this needs further investigation

HauntedPencil · 13/11/2018 22:52

WOAH. You could have owned some

Corbyn wears hush puppies pass it on

HauntedPencil · 13/11/2018 22:53

Of course it's nice to give to a charity but what would you DO with them I wonder?

KissingInTheRain · 13/11/2018 22:54

Those shoes! I can’t type for the tears.

eddiemairswife · 13/11/2018 22:55

Kenneth Clarke is the Hush Puppy King.

..continued, pressed too soon.
You've had your arse handed to you on a plate on this thread, and rightly so for obvious reasons.
But don't blame autocorrect for the fact that you were too lazy/oblivious to check the spelling of the name of the public figure that you chose to criticise on a huge public forum before pressing the post button. You got called out on it, deal with it, stop whining about it and trying to make excuses. HTH

Oh Ken

Barry Gardiner is on Newsnight and if Jeremy's coat did talk, I bet it would have his exact voice.

LassWiADelicateAir · 13/11/2018 23:12

Goodness knows what was said between page 1 and here but my take is Corbyn is a sanctimonious prat. All the official attendees wear black coats but Corbyn has to step out of line to show what a non- conformist , ordinary man of the peoople he is. He is a stupid, vain egotistical prat.

I voted Labour in every election since 1979 - but no more.

No, I reckon it would have Corbyn’s voice. It’s so him.

His shoes would speak like Gardiner. And his aggressive socks would be two John McDonnells.

LassWiADelicateAir · 13/11/2018 23:17

You’ve got to hand it to him: he may be an incompetent, bitter little man, but he can play the petulant child better than anyone else in public life

Good summing up.

cheval · 13/11/2018 23:18

His coat was rubbish, but he’s never been a style icon. His poppy pin was tiny, but lots have done that. I am not a fan of it being mandatory that everyone wears one on tv, no matter it’s dancing or kids tv.
And the Beeb cameras went straight to him while national anthem was playing to make sure he was singing! He was!

LassWiADelicateAir · 13/11/2018 23:28

It's nothing to do with being a style icon. It's the deliberately choosing to wear something which sticks out from what all the other official attendees were wearing.

It is being childish and prattish. "Ooh look at me, I'm such a non- conformist"

GingerbreadBlob · 13/11/2018 23:36

Yanbu at all.
