This is the classic video of John Redwood, the English MP that John Major put in charge of the Welsh Office in the 1990s, not realising that Redwood would use the post to launch his bid to become the next prime minister.

Redwood can be widely credited for creating the discontent that led to devolution in Wales. As he handed back millions of pounds to England, wrecked the health service and destroyed public services with a political vision diametrically opposed to that of the Welsh people, he proved once and for all that Wales would be better off handling its own affairs.

And not just because we do know the words to the national anthem.
