And can we ever forget his claim the children on Ynys Mon were soiling themselves  by being forced to ask to go the lavatory in Welsh,

But he sirs in the TV stupid  with a stupid grin on his face still pretending to be a man of the people where he is really a failed politician whose own Vaulting ambition  led him to betray his own nation of Wales  and leave his people to the cruel wind of Tatcherism and even Today is prepared to destroy his own Party than see it led by a decent socialist like Jeremy Corbyn,
