Is this JC’s “Donkey jacket gate”?

I do like Michael Rosen!

PECS It could have been the perfect put down, but, you forget I commented in demeanour.

And quite simply I do not believe you . Not because you know what you say is not actually the truth. But because, since time immemorable, the ability to recognise friend from foe and who is a risk to you and who is not, has been key to human and animal survival. This skill is based on the judgments we make on people we see, how they look how they comport themselves and how they dress: could they be concealing a weapon, wanting to hit us etc. I heard it being discussed on R4 yesterday.

I am sure you have this basic skill, everybody else does.

Exactly Monica we make up our minds about somebody in about the first few seconds.
Corbyn was taking part in a very formal occasion and as Leader Of The Opposition how he looked will be judged by the whole world.
Corbyn ‘oppose all their wars’......strange, he wasn’t born until the late 40’s so hardly true, but artistic license I suppose.Nope, that’s not what gets up peoples’s noses about Jeremy, it’s the fact that he is a narrow minded Marxist not fit for the job of PM or leading the opposition.
He dresses badly to make a stubborn point about what he really thinks of The Establishment, whilst completely forgeting that he himself is part of it.

Expect he stood in his dressing room that morning deep in thought.

The black coat I wore last year and is Expected of me as leader of the official opposition party

Or

The anorak, inappropriate but should get me votes

What a decision

I wish I could believe that JC makes calculated decisions about anything. I think he is completely out of his depth.

Well said Michael Rosen

I agree Parsley he has been in hiding for ages , just wheeled out for PMQ where he cannot be asked any questions

Very good Michael Rosen .
Jeremy C. 's main principle is pacifism, imo.
But it wouldn't get him very far as a PM.

I love Michael Rosen too ( took my DGD to see him ) but perhaps he should have added a verse about where we might be now, if no one had turned up to fight. In other words A verse dedicated to JC.

but perhaps he should have added a verse about where we might be now, if no one had turned up to fight.
I agree, gillybob

I understand his point, but if, in 1939
The politicians start a war
and no one turns up to fight.

He would not be here now.

It was his anti-establishment coat !

Fennel does a pacifist support terrorists

we might be now, if no one had turned up to fight......perhaps people should do that?

"Fennel does a pacifist support terrorists".
I think he sees them as victims rather than terrorists.

I don't know about others; I might be but I don't think that Rosen and his family would be and I think we should all be prepared to fight against that, whether physically or otherwise.

Do you honestly think it matters? Why are people focussing on this, and not raging about the ex-service men and women who end up on the scrap heap as there is inadequate resources for those returning from war with PTSD?

Priorities?

That is probably deserving of another thread, ClareAB.

ps did you see Dan Snow's programme last night on BBC about shell-shock and PTSD? It was very interesting, but perhaps this thread is more about JC's sartorial ineptitude and whether or not it had meaning.

Christine Lagarde, is white haired and her face is wrinkled

Look at all the photographs in that link.

Christine Lagarde sports a perma-tan. She also has (probably) a different disposition to Mrs May. She looks very confident. She exudes confidence . Her clothes are secondary.

I think TM is the workaholic, genuine, honest, no frills woman she has always been.

I also think she dresses to suit her tall, fairly lanky frame. In her slight hunch and flat heels I see a woman who is aware of her towering height, a slightly self-conscious woman who does not want to draw attention to herself. I like it that she is not flamboyant, showy and self-promoting. She just gets on with the job.

I see her as an excellent role model for women in that she is not relying on looks or image to inflate her position. She seems without ego. In these days of flashy, trashy looking, over made up and attention-seeking, superficial women hell-bent on fame, it's a stance to be admired, in my book.

Mrs May got it right, dress wise, on Sunday.

Corbyn was a complete fail, but he knew exactly what he was doing, imo.

It is pathetic when there is so many issues to get your knickers in a twist about. Guessing its the Daily Mail/Express brigade...

Uh-oh


We can have discussions ranging from the very serious to the frivolous on here on whatever subject we like - GNHQ permitting!!

I was trying to be helpful ClareAB in case you had missed that very interesting and informative programme and wished to start a serious thread about it.

It was his anti-establishment coat !

Yes! Exactly EllanVannin

His outfit was a subliminal message to all his young eager followers, the keyboard warriors who want revolution.

Scruffy is the uniform of the non-conformist revolutionary. It's an 'up yours!" signal to the status quo.

Jezza nailed it! (But it's done him no favours.)

Guessing its the Daily Mail/Express brigade...

Bingo!

The usual Left wing response to any discussion they don't like.

Do try something more original next time.

Guessing its the Daily Mail/Express brigade...

Not in my case ClareAB. I read neither the Daily Mail nor the Daily Express both are crap but I do think that Corbyn regularly pitches up at important events looking like a sack of washing tied in the middle. I have no idea whether this is because he is trying to portray a persona that he's too intellectual or too erudite to bother with sartorial style; or if he's just too idle to be bothered. Neither option leads to me thinking that he's a professional man who is on top of his game.

a subliminal message? ?
