When Politicians Choose to Mime - John Redwood
Jim Riley
24th February 2008
Conservative politician John Redwood has been tipped as a successor to the current Shadow Chancellor George Osborne. Were Redwood to get the role, you can expect plenty of media replays of this famous rendition of the Welsh national anthem.
At the time of this recording, John Redwood was Secretary of State for Wales but didn’t know the words of the Welsh National Anthem (Hen Wlad fy Nhadau). So tried to mime along.
Bet he wishes he hadn’t!
A classic from the UK politics vaults.
