• We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!

Jeremy Corbyn

Goodness, they are now insisting that poor old Jeremy kneels down in panto gear.

This is beginning to reach Blackadder script standards.

Not too unlike what trousers and shirts we have to wear at golf clubs. Not unlike what gear we have to wear out on the course. Not unlike what we have to wear to presentation nights. If we join a club we abide by the rules and change them from within. There's a dress code, and although it might be muppet-ish, its the code. The guy at your club that was out of step got how much support?

Rub someone up the wrong way, and they won't buy into your argument. Engage with them and you stand a chance.

I doubt it, I have only worn a tie about five times in the last 20 years, having previously been a blazer and tie man for 25 years.
It does not seem to have stopped me 'engaging' with people. I cannot recall one instance where I have rubbed someone up the wrong way for not wearing a tie
I can never understand the UK's obsession with ties. They seem to have no function whatsoever.

It will be interesting to see in Jeremy refuses to join the security council if he has to kneel before the Queen.

If its the required dress code then it doent matter what anyones personal beliefs are. He is no longer the scruffy anti establishment back bencher rebelling against the system - he is now the leader of the opposition and must act appropiatly.
 
As a confirmed snp supporter, one has to applaud your engagement in the labour leadership debate and continued interest.

I am only an SNP supporter because Labour have been so utterly useless in Scotland.
If Labour had remained a centre left party I would probably still be a Labour supporter.
At the moment the SNP are the nearest fit to my political beliefs.

I would like to see Scotland remain within a federal UK led SNP.
Cameron and his cronies are working hard to ensure that does not happen.
It is more likely to happen under a centre left Labour government.
Watch this space.
 
Seemingly two about faces already...

One, he'll [in future] be singing the National Anthem.. Which, for me, is no biggie...

Two, he'll now be supporting staying in the EU... Arse! :(:(:angry::angry:

Jezza... Those of us on the left didn't want to join in the first place... What are you playing at?


Think I'll be dashing off a letter to that nice Mr McDonnell...

Send Corbyn an e-mail, he's all for that inclusive politics, sure he'll explain his position in detail for ya. ;)

I don't wholly disagree - but blinking heck - try making this argument about golf club dress code and you get laughed at by the modernistas who want it their own way,

I have heard that some clubs are even allowing jeans in the clubhouse now.
Not sure if that is a good look with a jacket and tie, especially if you have a big beer belly.

Interestingly - or not - when I have worn jeans in the clubhouse I have received more glances from visiting members of other clubs than from members of my own. So what is acceptable to one group can clearly be unacceptable to another - even when the dress is appropriate to the dress code of the environment you are in. And so back to JC and St Paul's.
 
Not commented on this topic/bloke once because basically I never knew anything about him. Since he has become the leader of the opposition he has done nothing but rub me up the wrong way.

How this man has become leader of the opposition is beyond me.

His latest comments about "not happy about shoot to kill". Is he oblivious about what has gone off in Paris.

I would love him to explain what the alternative is.

Re his comments, " I would of prefered to capture Jihadi John". Does he think John was walking through a park.

If he carries on the Torys will be in for the next 10 yr

All hail JC, the futures blue 😎
 
The "Shoot to kill " saying always made we wonder, if you shoot someone how do you ensure that person doesn't die?

Depends on the circumstances, situation & offence, although we were always told not to maim, if close enough without causing wider issues then take the head shot, otherwise hit the largest body mass, depending on the situation would be dependent on whether a double tap once down was justified!

Always aim for center of mass however I saw a guy hit with a 7.62 in the hip and the exit wound was through the shoulder.

Our ability with a 120mm to be so selective was not an option. :)

Dear me, what a disgrace, Corbyn prefers proper justice, gathering intelligence from these people and a court trial rather than politically expedient quick kills. I thought the Tories were the law and order party. Guess not.

By the way, he didn't say 'I would OF ..' because he is literate, and that sentence makes no sense. He may have said 'I would HAVE ...'.

Yes, it would have been nice for a local bobby to have hopped on a flight to Syria. Jumped in a taxi at the airport and driven up country to Raqqa and asked Jihadi John would he mind accompanying him to the station to answer a few questions...:rolleyes:
