Is this JC’s “Donkey jacket gate”?

And it is why so important to listen, talk and hear other people's views , ideas & opinions and not to get too entrenched as that way conflict lies.

We do not want to repeat the 1930s build up to war now we know how it began: rife nationalism of leadership, promotion of hatred of minority groups, disappearance of opposition and silencing of journalists. The moderate majority of citizens believing nothing would really come of it all. Until of course it was all happening around them and it was too late to oppose it other than through war.

and mothers and grandmothers

Hurray to Michael Rosen!
Yes, but as I pointed out earlier, he might well not be here unless our fathers and grandfathers had answered to call to fight evil and bring us peace and freedom.

Ah, of course MawBroon, I need to get out more I suspect.

Iam64 you seem not to realise that everything can be linked to Brexit or not as the case may be! Should you so choose.

I've finished with Jeremy's coat but can't help asking what on earth Brexit has to do with this specific thread. I'm interested in discussing JC's views on Brexit but see it as more than a red herring here. Maybe I'm wrong....

Oh, YES WE CAN

Hurray to Michael Rosen!

We can't actually do anything about Brexit, jura, except chunter.

So it doesn't really matter if we chunter about The Curious Case of Jeremy's Mac for a while instead, a bit of light relief in fact.

I have an anorak in the back of the wardrobe somewhere and was thinking of digging it out and wearing it.

After reading this thread it's definitely going in the bag for the charity shop. A pity, I like it
but I am quite hopeless with clothes as well.

Yes, Corbyn’s old mac is possibly the most talked about item on social media.It may start it’s own blog soon.

You're so right jura, and Corbyn's wardrobe has been at crisis point for a very long time.

At a time when the UK is facing its biggest crisis in a very long time- most people know what is important or not FGS

Doubt it PECS, most people know what is or isn’t appropriate attire

Urban dictionary definition of anorak a studious or obsessive person with unfashionable and largely solitary interests. "with his thick specs, shabby shoes, and grey suit, he looks a bit of an anorak"

Makes you wonder who had they had in mind

Sorry M0nica to ask so long after you posted...but did you call me a liar? I did not really understand what youvwere wittering on about.
I got thath you dislike JC and that an anorak is now a symbol of anti -establishment. There will be a lot of Tory ladies buying new jackets this week & putting their anoraks in the charity bag! ???

I agree with your post on Mrs May Day6, I really admire her.

he's too intellectual
that would be extremely difficult to portray

a subliminal message? ?

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.

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.

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.)

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

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.
