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

It is funny or clever, it is a disgrace.

The new Michael Foot/Neil Kinnock.
Maybe his hair dresser taylors his suits.

Funny that those don't approve of 'bashing' scruffy Boris were probably fully in support of bashing scruffy Jeremy Corbyn for his attire at the same even.

Like for like. Good for one, good for all.

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.

The word is ‘would.’
To my knowledge, correct me if I’m wrong, Johnson has never sent any young men to war. Blair sent young men to to war, and many never returned. Others were hideously maimed. Cameron sent air support/attacks into Syria. He was unwilling to send ground forces in because of the backlash against Blair with his wars.

Re the ‘black tie is traditionally worn at the Cenotaph’ the pictures shown by other posters show this is clearly is not the position. Let’s stick to the facts shall we?

Just to say, I think Johnson almost always, if not always, looks a complete mess. That’s an opinion. Saying black tie is always worn at the Cenotaph is also an opinion, because it’s clearly not a fact. The fact is that black tie at the Cenotaph is a choice that some people make, others choose blue.

Well said, maddyone

maddyone Mon 15-Nov-21 11:02:37

I have no problem with posters describing Johnson as scruffy. He is scruffy, and often looks like he’s been pulled through a hedge backwards. It’s not a good look for the Prime Minister of the UK.
But let’s not make stuff up about him, or anyone else.

Who is making stuff up? It's true. Johnson 'would' be the one to send the military to war.

All the stuff about Blair and Cameron is irrelevant

DS is an Officer (high ranking) I can assure you that he and his peers are far more concerned with the PM’s actions/deeds than his attire.

Casdon Mon 15-Nov-21 11:06:26

I agree maddyone.

Neil Kinnock was always very well turned out, never knowingly seen except in a sharp suit, I have no idea why he’s been mentioned in this category either.

Casdon I agree, Kinnock was always well dressed and smart. So were Blair, Cameron, May, Major, and Thatcher.

Can’t believe I did this but I googled images of Kinnock. Always smartly dressed in suits which fitted.

Lucca Mon 15-Nov-21 11:23:52

Oh and here’s a little something about Michael Foot.

Maybe you’d care to explain what you mean ?

Calistemon Mon 15-Nov-21 11:50:09

Of course she did, as someone said to me when she complimented me on my dress: "I always know the right thing to say" ???

theworriedwell Mon 15-Nov-21 11:57:58

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.

I think I've got eye strain trying to see some good in Johnson. Can someone give me a clue?

GagaJo Mon 15-Nov-21 11:58:26

Hahaha, theworriedwell.

Micheal Foot was a disgrace at the Cenotaph in his Donkey jacket, Jeremy Corbin not much better.
As someone has posted the military are more worried about being sent to war than the way Johnston dresses.
I also say thank goodness for Harold Wilson always smartly dressed even in a Ganex and he did the country a great favour by keeping us out of the Vietnam war.

Dinahmo Mon 15-Nov-21 12:33:52

Yammy Do you really think that all those in the forces whom we were commemorating yesterday care about the clothes worn by MF and JC at the Cenotaph?

IT can be very cold and damp on November and it gets into people's bones, even when you're young(ish)

I saw this and laughed.

Reminds me of one of the Benny Hill characters....

jaylucy Mon 15-Nov-21 12:39:27

Quite honestly, I can't see the difference to how he looks every other day that he is seen !
Never seen him look smart , whatever he is wearing!

The thing is, he hasn’t sent anyone to war, has he. Certainly won’t be sending the Forces to war on trumped up scenarios.

FannyCornforth Mon 15-Nov-21 12:58:12

It looks like a cry for help to me.
It’s wilful self-neglect

MayBee70 Mon 15-Nov-21 13:15:45

I think brexit is Johnson’s war. Setting people against each other, inciting hatred of ‘furriners’. He’s still constantly trying to aggravate tensions between the U K and France.
