You should expect no less from a class warrior.

Indeed.

Problem is every politician worth their salt will be wearing a Gucci suit apart from Corbyn - if you don't think appearance has value you are more stupid than I thought. Appearance is about respect for those you are engaging with - which is why Corbyn got so much stick on 11th November - lack of respect.

If Brexit has thrown up one thing, it's an incredible amount of Schrodinger-esque paradoxes.

Perhaps that why we get the politicians we deserve - because idiots like you place more importance on how someone looks than what they are saying and doing?

He got stick on 11th November for wearing a raincoat, when it was raining - I attended my local war memorial on the same day, with both my kids, and we all wore raincoats - surprisingly, no one was offended.

The reality is that he got stick because the MSM will use any excuse to give him stick, under orders from their off-shore billionaire proprietors - some people allow themselves to be told what to think, but increasing numbers don't.

Bren, IF every other attendee at an event is dressed "properly" and one of them isn't, it's easy for someone to point the finger at them. They know that the press are following their every move, hell, they are "greeted" with paparazzi every morning when they leave home.
Therefore, it's reasonable to assume that the difference in attire is a deliberate choice, perhaps to gain a reaction ??

You are old enough to remember Michael Foot at the cenotaph in his anorak and he just looked scruffy and disrespectful.
Corbyn is no Michael Foot and his image has certainly improved since he became Labour leader but, to suggest that it's all down to the MSM is just naïve.
As for joe public, of course, they can do as they please.
Politicians have to follow the rules or they risk making the front pages, it's their choice.

Back on Brexit, it seems like JRM and Boris have decided that the game is up and we may actually see MV3 getting through.
What an absolute bunch of pillocks we have "running" the country.

Theresa May & her husband wear the same boring clothes for church every Sunday. Or perhaps the MSM just show the same reel every week. I think she is disrespecting God.

you local Tesco must do a roaring trade in tin foil, or are your paranoia hats recyclable?

Maybe we should all just read the I. and not actually have opinions?

Class warriors shop in Booths, thank you very much.

Apparently God take us all as we are.
Some would say that he helps us all choose which path to follow and maybe which clothes to wear

Ultimately, getting "pinged" for being boring would be preferable than for being disrespectful and as with everything in life, it all depends who or what you believe.

Who defines "properly?" Especially in this era of poppy police, wherein millions of people who do sod all to mark the remembrance, feel fully empowered to criticise the size, colour, location or other indicator of appropriateness of the poppies that public figures display, when all they've done themselves is put a meme on Facebook?

It sounds like you are also old enough to remember Michael Foot, which makes your slavish adherence to the 'rules' of style over substance even more surprising.

Yes - it was always going to be so - eventually, these people will choose self-interest over the national interest *every* time; Mogg has some offshore tax issues to secure, and Johnson still wants to lead the rotten party he represents.

The last best hope is a GE - which is looking increasingly likely; and as even Mrs May's official stenographer Laura Kuenssberg said yesterday, it looks more and more like Mr Corbyn has played a blinder.

boring old man, you make Victor Meldrew look happy. We get it, you are a rampant marxist socialist, Corbyn will never win an election, the man is a terrorist sympathiser, along with most of his front bench.

I'm neither old, miserable or a Marxist - so I'm unsure how you "get it?"

I am a socialist however - which means that despite your insulting, misanthropic outlook on life, I even care about you; crazy isn't it?

I'd rather you didn't care about me, focus on destroying the world via socialism, should keep you busy enough.

SOCIALISM DOES NOT WORK

Will do - it's a relief actually when people self-declare like that; destroying the world is quite time-consuming, so one less person to give a $h1t about is a handy time management aid.
