And bird watchers (feathered variety). He'll be after them next, I imagine.

So "outspoken" is the word? But from which orifice?

I know he's local for you Gareth - but the man is a liability. When he was Minister for eliminating Popular Culture I thought this might just be a case of misunderstanding, because it wasn't something he was too interested in. But trains and transport, that's "important" politics. This can't just be an aberration because he's been skiving off and hasn't done his homework.

Could he be a Plaid Cymru plant, designed to undermine the credibility of the Labour Party in South Wales?
