je regrette rien

Forget budget deadlock and other miseries, the big Assembly story of the day is that Edwina Hart offered to mix it, dialectally speaking, with Plaid over economic policy – or rather the apparent lack of anything resembling one.

Her somewhat left-field riposte (see what we did there?) about regretting capitalism gave the press and the Lib Dems an acute attack of the vapours.

Just as well she didn’t add the Lenin quotation that “the capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them”. Did someone say eurozone?

great post,

If the Welsh Government can have a vegetarian Agriculture Minister why can't they have a anti capitalist Marxist supporter as Business Minister :)

I reckon we should have a contest in Edwina's honour to see who can come up with the best contradictions for Ministerial portfolios.
