Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 One small point it's up to the speaker of the house of commons to decide if a member is improperly dressed And the speaker should have reprimanded Mr Cameron for making personal remarks about another member. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,427 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Scary BW #26.Seems to me that when I was in my teens and early twenties in Nottingham we just about always wore a tie. Often even when only around the house. It seemed to be as much part of your clothing as your shirt. :-) Link to post Share on other sites

ValuerJim 277 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Could be that suits are a form of disguise? I'm a self-employed professional man and have not worn a working suit for years. It's chinos, either a polo or open-neck shirt, and depending on the weather, a sweater and occasionally a jacket. Smart casual, but not in an Alan Partridge way. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 My take on this is that it is "Horses for Courses". i wear a suit when the occasion permits, otherwise dress for the occasion. I wouldn't wear a suit to go to a football match or jeans for a job interview irrespective of whether I was good at the job or not. Respect is the word for me. One thing I do stick to is a suit for going to church or at the very least smart casual but MUST be collared & tie'd. That's how I was brought up, but one of my favourite sayings is "each to their own" !!. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Scriv 168 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Corbyn's problem where clothes are concerned is that whatever he wears, he always looks, as my old man used to say, "like a sack of **** tied in the middle". Always reminds me of my old geography teacher. Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,721 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 As has been pointed out at least twice in this thread. Corbyn was wearing a jacket and tie. Anyone who was actually watching the debate would note that Cameron only raised Corbyn's dress when he was wrong footed by a comment (I think from the back benches.. definitely not from Corbyn) asking what his (Cameron's ) Mum would have to say. Cameron was clearly rattled by this, as his Mum has publicly criticised him recently. This is always betrayed by him going bright red and resorting to insult rather than debate. The speaker should have called him to account for resorting to personal insult. Col 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Always reminds me of my old geography teacher. Or the beloved Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson? The saviour of our country?

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 And don't forget Jeremy Corbyn is going into the age of 67 Mr Cameron will be 50 in October.(so being older don't help) People said the same about Michael Foot when he was leader of the Labour Party in the early 1980s Michael Foot would have been about 70 at that time. P.S. Gordon Brown was 65 last Saturday. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Just a quick aside. Tony Blair, Gordon Brown,Ed Milliband, Jeremy Corbyn(just) Ian Duncan Smith, William Hague & David Cameron are all younger than me Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Whatever the bearded one wears, whatever his politics, can't say I really like him, but I don't really know him. As for suit and tie? I am one of those people who never looks well dressed no matter what. My eldest son is the total opposite. However, I don't think you have to wear a suit and tie to look smart. I remember seeing politicians in hot climates on the News years ago. They wore suits with short trousers and I used to have hysterics. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
terence12 725 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 A man's state of mind is reflected in his state of dress, can't make the effort to smartly dress, can't make the effort to smartly run a country, or so such 3 Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,115 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Corbyn is an unalloyed disaster. If he were any good, the fact that he looks like bag of washing would be accepted as eccentricity. This is not a political view - I've no brief for Cameron either but he does dress smartly! As for the Scottish fish woman - let's not go there! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
