To turn up looking like a tramp is showing clear disrespect to all the fallen.

It is funny or clever, it is a disgrace.

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

He is hors la loi…..

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

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.

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

I didn't know that.

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

Carrie you need to sort your man out.

A grown man doesn’t need a woman to dress him

None of it is her fault

Grrr sorry
Didn’t mean to post twice

Talking of Macron and his impeccable taste, did you know he has changed the colour on the Tricolore flag to navy blue because he thinks it is more elegant? Also because the darker blue resembles the flag around 1793 and the time of the French revolution.
What I want to know is whether the French rugby and football teams will have to change the colour of their kit to look more elegant too?

Yet time and time again, “you’re not going out in that” I’ll buy him this it’ll make him look smarter. You’re not having those trainers, oh yes, women do try and dress their men. Some women treat their men like children, as if they have no minds of their own.

Messrs Cameron, Major wore blue ties along with the PM.

Obviously it’s only the PM that gets a bashing

25Avalon Mon 15-Nov-21 08:45:03

My remark was meant to be tongue in cheek about Carrie. Of course it’s not her fault. At least he had a suit on and not a string vest - in sight anyway.

Calendargirl Mon 15-Nov-21 09:01:36

Boris does not have such a body

Indeed. I bet he wished he did.

How many of us wish we looked like someone else?

He does look untidy, but as others have said, I think he is just one of those people who cannot look smart no matter what.

I’m sure Boris is perfectly aware that he looks overweight, round shouldered, short, beside others. Angela Merkel also looks dumpy and short, although not untidy.

No one mentions her.

Josianne Mon 15-Nov-21 09:08:12

Angela Merkel? Her appearance is faultless, but I do wonder how many of those coloured jackets she has in her wardrobe? Has she ever worn a skirt?

Yes I noticed that which is what prompted my remark.

Johnson as leader of the government will of course set the standard.

That is why he will be criticised.

Poor show.

Casdon Mon 15-Nov-21 09:37:03

Surely no one mentions Angela Merkel because she always looks very smart. She is perhaps proof that an awkward body shape doesn’t mean you can’t - however her deportment is good.

GagaJo Mon 15-Nov-21 09:39:27

True Casdon. Whereas Boris has the Benny Hill tucked in chin, belly out posture. Carrie is a lucky girl!

Josianne Mon 15-Nov-21 09:45:58

There must be an explanation somewhere about not always wearing black ties. John Major as PM wore blue in 1996. Tony Blair grey. Not black ones?

No explanation just another excuse to bash the current PM

I am not a fan of the PM or the way the country is being run at the moment however, his attire is the least of my concerns.

Yes, GG13, it's a shame that we can't just sometimes see some good in people instead of always focusing on the bad. I do try to.

Ask any military officer. Johnson is the one who would send the young men they lead to their death or severe injury.

See what they think of Johnson’s appearance.

Well she might look dumpy but not a complete mess !

Sorry that’s been said already
