The Speaker of the House: he’s got the socks right at last, but those shoes should be shot at dawn

Anglu Farrugia went out and bought a par zarbun tal-okkazzjoni for his meeting with Van Rompuy today.
Funny how they were all kept in line by some mysterious image-control-freak during the last couple of years, and now they’re all reverting to type.
Shiny black patent faux reptile skin shoes? I don’t think so. But then, we did tell him black lace-ups, right? Looks like you can’t take too much as read.

Najs. Pjur cless what da hack.
Hahaha. You killed me, Dave.
Wonder what Van Rompuy thought once the small talk was over…

From thug to spiv. My, we’ve come up in the world.
Lizzard skin lace ups? Seems fitting.
Last time he had beige socks on, and one of the comments here speculated that maybe he was trying to match their colour with the tiles.
My guess is that today he tried to match the shoes with the shiny leather sofas.
I’m actually speechless.
Anglu looked like some throwback of the Brezhnev’s Praesidium era. And that book given as gift to Van Rompuy, that got whipped unceremoniously out of that cheap paper carrier bag that was left on the floor next to Anglu’s seat!
Iva marelli, l-affarijiet hekk isiru?
He is no longer the rabid Socjalista so his wet-look-crocodile skin shoes are true to his new role.
As speaker now, he is neutral(ised) so any mud or problems just slide off or if they stick are quickly swiped. Seeing Van Rompuy on TV, I could sense that he was all giggles inside listening to the chattering box Anglu l-ispeaker blabbing away in Manglish.
Perhaps he fancied a bit of rompuy-pumpuy.
Now knowing it’s a focal detail, could have been done on instruction?
Maybe he had dance class to attend after the meeting. I thought those shoes were a thing of the past, but apparently they’re still around.

Great shoes. He must have bought them when on holiday at his holiday home in Blackpool – or his other holiday home in Sicily.
Even more charitable: save the shoes and shoot Anglu at dawn.
In the above picture he seems to have stomach problems.
What class. He even wore a blue tie for the occasion.
Those sofas are ghastly. Far too bit, with giant arm rests up to your armpits. Even van Rompuy has some difficulty sitting properly.
