Johnson’s lack of respect

At the Cenotaph Black tie has always been worn. What makes him think that the rules can be broken? No respect.

I didn't know that.

Of course, regimental ties are de rigueur if anyone is entitled to wear one.

The thread though is about Boris and his attire not about Remembrance Day.

Well said Jabberwork the amount of time spent on here today slating the PM’s attire, shame the same posters weren’t posting their gratitude and pride for the people today is all about.

Strangely John Major and David Cameron were also not wearing black ties, but blue?

?? who is that?

He is hors la loi…..

Macron, Trudeau, Obama and many others have bodies that are perfect to hang clothes on.

Boris does not have such a body.

However I thought he looked OK this morning.

Well Macron does always look smart, I think Trudeau is the same. It's just the truth.

I'm not sure there is a tailor alive who could do anything about Boris Johnson. I saw that photo of him with the other leaders at the summit, and thought he looked as if someone had thrown his clothes at him and missed. In the line up was Macron, immaculate in French tailoring. It was almost funny. Has anyone ever seen BJ look even remotely tidy and smart?

Oh of course,St. Macron, can’t do anything wrong can he.? The important thing is our PM attended, in a smart black coat, to commemorate all those lost in all the Wars.

Thank you Baggs. Just wondering, apart from Boris and his attire, what did others on here think of the ceremony itself? Did you find it both uplifting and deeply moving? The excellent commentary, the thought provoking interviews, the haunting music, the march past? Only asking.

I particularly noticed the people who were evacuated as children, marching with their labels on. Some really didn't look old enough.

Prince Charles looked upset, Princess Anne looked well, Prince William was very dignified. The Duke of Kent didn't look well.

They do, John Lewis does for example and it's hardly a chore to go to John Lewis

After the wallpapergate comments I wonder if John Lewis will let him in?

He did. I guess losing his father, the upset with Prince Harry and now his mother obviously not well, not to forget Prince Andrew! has all taken its toll. Thank goodness for Prince William who took the salute with much solemnity.

I thought it was respectful and fitting. Prince Charles looked upset when laying a wreath on behalf of the Queen.

Great post @ 15.34 Jabberwok I completely agree.

Oh well. I wasn't really talking about the political folk, although it was good to see all the High Commissioners, but the ceremony as a whole and the reason for it. It was good to see all those young people marching as well as the veterans, and the sea of poppies was amazing.

I just kept worrying that someone was going to fall over backwards after laying their wreath….they all looked quite nervous. And was also worried about Ian Blackford bending over in his kilt…….

I just watched a short clip and thought Johnson looked quite smart this morning in a coat.
I haven't seen it all, though.

Jabberwok Of course, you are absolutely right and I can't comment on this morning's service as I haven't seen it yet.

However, when all had made such great efforts perhaps our PM should too.

In his position a tailor could be arranged to visit Downing Street to measure BJ and return for fittings. He doesn't need to trawl the stores to look for a suit.

Yes, I know, as I suggested earlier, so my remark about a personal shopper was tongue-in-cheek

He looked an absolute disgrace at the service last night, a little better at the Cenotaph this morning I suppose. What is wrong with the man? I always feel ashamed of him especially when he's representing us on the world stage.
