Turning in his grave...

More than 200 years ago, Thomas Jefferson, one of Wales finest exports, promised government of the people, by the people, for the people.

If he was alive today, I am certain he would have supported our campaign for a Welsh parliament as embodying government of the Welsh people, by the Welsh people, for the Welsh people.

I don’t think Peter Hain will ever be remembered for promoting government of the Welsh people by the English & Scottish people, subject to the personal veto of an appointed Secretary of State and a group of non-elected hereditary peers. It just doesn’t have the same ring about it…….
