[Marxism] Gwynfor Evans

[Ed George <edgeorge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The former Plaid Cymru leader Gwynfor Evans, who has died aged 92,
probably owed his success in politics to the fact that, by today's
standards, he was not much of a politician. He would not trim or fix or
deal, and, above all, he would not give up. He was an open and
unsophisticated operator, whose chief characteristic was an unalterable
commitment to his cause. And it was these qualities that brought him a
remarkable triumph in the shape of a U-turn by Margaret Thatcher.
