£37k on a portrait not to mention a new coat of arms, talk about vanity!

[craft1948]

The man is a buffoon. His vanity is only exceeded by that of his tarty wife......

<<A spokesman for Mr Bercow said: “The portrait remains the property of Parliament and the artist’s fee is agreed through careful negotiation.”>>

I imagine that all who have held the position end up with their likeness in oils somewhere in the HoP.

As much as he irritates me, it's something they do for every speaker, so he's not really to blame.

[Davethedog]

You mean the portrait of the speaker that was commissioned by parliament that continues a tradition of portrature started in the early 1800's

I'd say hes on a planet closer to home than anyone who relies on the Express for facts

[jackthehat]

Mind you, if it was priced by the inch the cost ought to be lower as there isn't terribly much of him...

^ reported for being heightist........

No Jack, I think the picture would be just as big as normal.
He'd just be framed lower down it. A bit like the kilroy character - his eyes and nose peeping above the borrom edge of the frame.

lol lol I can just see him as a chad..............

[rojash]

I see that you are still being sucked in by the Express Gullibility Attractor, Kayless.

It's standard practice for all Commons Speakers.
Nowt to do with Bercow himself.

[emmie]

well he has got his, his missus is enough of an embarrassment for any man.

Funny thing is his coat of arms contains the text "All are equal".

How many other people have a coat of arms, and spend £37,000 on a painting of themselves. Hyocrite.

Coat of arms here

Whoops Hypocrite not Hyocrite.

Why cant AB gives us one chance to make a correction like many web sites do.

Trip Advisor allows one change before an update is locked.

Why the ladder? And the ba**s?

[craft1948]

He needs the ladder to reach his wife.................and the balls when he gets there.

[emmie]

craft, much good it will do even when he does.
