Hyperbole in the Commons
From the maiden speech of Jonathan Edwards, the Plaid Cymru MP for Carmarthen East and Dinefwr:
"After less than a decade in front line politics, he has already established himself as one of the greatest figures in the history of the national movement, and one of the most significant political figures of our time in Wales. When he returns form his studies in the USA, his destiny is clear – and that is to serve our people in our own Parliament in Cardiff – and to lead our people to our political freedom."
Is Adam Price working as a speechwriter for his successor? If he does come back and secures election to Welsh Assembly maybe we should start referring to him as Moses.
