Would you buy a used country from this man?

Joseph Muscat gave this speech in 2007, when he was ‘just a Labour MEP’. The electoral candidate then was (Perit) Charles Buhagiar, standing next to him.
The way Muscat spoke shows that he was not ‘just an MEP’ at all. He already had his eye on the main chance, the big job.
But he could only get that if Labour lost. And Labour did.
Will some of you please write in and try to explain what’s going on in the cuff department? I can’t work it out. Are his cuffs undone beneath the jacket, or was that shirt made for somebody with wrists the size of the Incredible Hulk’s?

Profeta kien, Muscat, ghax minn dakinhar il-Labour tilfu zewg elezzjonijiet u c-Chalie Buhagiar baqa ma sarx ministru.
You really can sell anything to a labour audience. This lot talked all the way through Muscat’s speech.
Hmm, interesting. M&S’s “easy-iron” shirts usually have those giant cuffs.
But then the sleeves are also made for a chimpanzee’s or an NBA player’s arms, which would leave a good six inches of protruding cuff for our Joseph.
Therefore 1) he is either wearing arms bands or 2) he’s had his tailor shorten the sleeves or 3) he bought a shirt with giant cuffs and bermuda sleeves.
There remains the fourth hypothesis (god, this is exciting). Those aren’t French cuffs at all, but those awful single-cuffs-doubling-as-double, with the cuff link holes next to the buttons.
Down there with shell suits in the league of menswear monster mistakes. That’s why the cuffs are so floppy. Gentlemen, if you have some self-respect, either wear cuff links with shirts made for that purpose, or not at all.
Daphne, that’s not his cuffs beneath the jacket. It is the lining of the sleeve of his jacket. He is wearing a short sleeved shirt. And so is Charles Buhagiar.
Jaqq.
