The Road To Damascus

Oh what joy! This morning I received an e-mail from one of our local county councillors and currently Mayor of Llandrindod, Gary Price. In it he asks for help to run a street stall in Llandrindod promoting the ‘Yes for Wales’ campaign.

It is both interesting and revealing to note that this is the same Gary Price who, at a public meeting of Sir Emyr Jones Parry’s All Wales Convention held at the Monty Club in Newtown just two years ago, very publicly stated that if he had his way, he would abolish the Welsh Assembly. Over the last couple of years, Councillor Price has either undergone a political conversion to nationalism of Dasmascene proportions, or he has become a simple yet cynical political opportunist. Now, he not only wants to represent Plaid Cymru in the Assembly having been adopted as their candidate for the election in May, but he also wants the rest of us to vote for extra powers for that Assembly.

As I think Lincoln once said: “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and you can fool all the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all of the time.” Think hard on this Councillor Price.
