At the Cenotaph
Am I alone in noticing Boris Johnson's lack of respect today? His jacket and coat unbuttoned and his wreath laid the wrong way round. Or is it just his characteristic lack of attention to detail?

Really ? I must be biased (actually, I am), because it seemed to me from his bored expression, mumbling of the National Anthem and skewiff tie he didn't give a flying f**k and considered it all a waste of time.
Notwithstanding, another emotive and successfully executed ceremony. Long may they continue.

Relative to the OP's concerns, just which of the two people referred to is (supposedly) the Country's political leader and, therefore the foremost representative of all the population? ... and is that how we wish to honour those who paid the ultimate price? Perhaps just for once he could have read the brief and, at the very least, have asked Nanny to check his turnout before leaving the house!
Not seen my recording yet: I was at a live village ceremony. How on earth could Corbyn pass DV or whatever they call it these days?
I imagine the Cabinet Secretary and the Heads of SIS and MI5 must have held contingency talks?
Defence is the dead elephant in the corner ........ no votes in it.

Johnson was a shambles, looked like he has missed his alarm call. Forgot his hymn sheet, mumbled away and, if you look closely, missed his cue for laying the wreath, set off early and had to come back and start again. If Corbyn had looked/behaved like Johnson the Daily Mail would be crucifying him, but that won't happen to their darling.
He's a joke but the reality is neither him nor Corbyn are fit to run this country. We are politically in a mess.

I just don't care.
They are politicians, they have no relevance to personal feelings or beliefs.

Well said Newt. The man is not fit for any UK public office.
And Islandlad. The Queen moved on after the peace process, as we all have. It's what Corbyn did, whilst in public office, before the peace process, that is so insufferable. Ask Norman Tebbit what the man did whilst he and his wife were lying in hospital after the IRA bombing. Quite why more is not openly made of the man's traitorous background is, to me, very disappointing.

Count me out. The man has habitually sided with every enemy, however preposterous, of our country and of our best ally. Misled at best, a traitor at worst.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
HI was a ness. IF scrubbed up well, they looked new clothes. Someone got at him. In BJ's case probably advised by Cummings.
