Appropriate dress for the occasion ?

The end of World War 1 was commemorated and both World Wars were remembered on Sunday. From some comments on this forum all that meant nothing more than 'what a political party leader wore.' He was not disrespectful, was solemn, and acted professionally. He is an easy target, as all people are in the 'public eye.' I have not read or heard any other remarks about the man's coat anywhere other than here. Remembering should bring thoughts of 'let's do all we can to never, ever let it happen again.' Some of the angry words here, were worrying.
 
I don't give a stuff that he's a labour politician or what he stands for. He should have had the decency to dress for the occasion and respect what the occasion was about.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
This...!!!!

Nothing to do with politics whatsoever, and as for actually turning up and standing respectful, what the hell else is expected apart from dressing appropriately..???? He’s not an untrained chimpanzee....or are we to be grateful for him being there and behaving now...?? :headbang:

Agreed. He will attract the haters because of what he stands for, you may not like what he stands for but at least you know. I'm certainly not a fan, but at least he's not a career politician filtering every word and every public appearance through a PR team.
Of course he's a career politician Marlon - he's never had a real job in his life....

touché sir :D
 
I’ve just watched the Have I got news for you on BBC tonight an saw a clip of Corbyn riding his bike from home in that same shabby Anorak. He also turned LEFT against a must turn right arrow road sign.

Rules don’t apply to him it seems.
 
He should have worn nothing on underneath, then at least it would have made more sense as a themed ensemble.

I don't think veterans care what an mp wore on armistice, it's not a fashion show.

I can only say that my late father ( a Normandy veteran & labour voter) was disgusted when Michael Foot showed up in his donkey jacket.

Well he couldn't let anyone accuse him of leaning to the right could he....?

Yeah, but your not the bleeding Labour leader are you and you didn't appear in front of millions of people like that pillock did :poke:
I had a jacket/coat on and have been attending the village memorial for many years, but I wasn't in front of millions viewers either.
AND, I don't read the Daily mail :poke:
I read the Sun. :P
 
The guy was wearing a black suit with the possibly the wrong coat for the occasion.. its hardly the crime of the century regardless of his job.. honestly, the uproar people are making just makes me think thay have nothing better to do, just using it as an excuse to spill some bile
