	BBC News \| UK \| Ffion Jenkins: a passionate Welsh patriot
		Ffion Jenkins, who married the Tory leader William Hague at the Palace of Westminster on Friday, has an impeccable Welsh pedigree.
		Ffion, known to her friends as "Jolly" Jenkins, met William Hague in 1995 when he was Secretary of State for Wales and she was his private secretary.
		It is said that for years Ffion Jenkins was in competition with her older sister, Manon.

		Hague made a good showing at the Welsh Office[?], partly because his predecessor, John Redwood, had been such a disaster in the role.
		Resolving not to emulate Redwood's farcical attempt to mime to the Welsh national anthem at a public event, Hague recruited a female civil servant, Ffion Jenkins[?], to teach him the words.
		In 1997, Hague was elected leader of the Conservative Party in succession to John Major, in the hope that a fresh young face would counteract the public appeal of Tony Blair.

	Ffion focuses on career before starting a family
		FFION JENKINS, William Hague's wife, is to begin a new career as a headhunter, earning up to £250,000 a year by recruiting executives to run some of Britain's largest companies.
		Ms Jenkins, already appearing at home among the modern art and mahogany of her new firm's Mayfair boardroom, said the new high-pressure role would not prevent her from supporting her husband.
		Ms Jenkins, who was clearly nervous talking about herself, said she has been interested in headhunting as a career move for some time.

	Believe it or not, it is the sari, and it's raising laughs
		Now, it was the turn of Ffion Jenkins, the 30-year-old wife of Conservative leader William Hague.
		Jenkins, known for her well-tailored clothes, cut a rather curious figure in a startling turquoise ensemble.
		But she did have the effect of focussing attention towards her, and it was not so much the men with the moolah as the lady in the lungi that caught the cameras fancy.

		Evan Evans (aka Ieuan Brydydd Hir) is the subject of a chapter by Ffion Llywelyn Jenkins, Ceri W. Lewis contributes a fascinating study of Iolo Morganwg, and the baneful influence of William Owen Pughe on Welsh orthography (his theories were outlandishly erroneous) is analysed by Glenda Carr.
		But it was the literature of the ‘Great Awakening’ that put Wales into the Romantic mainstream, as described here by Brinley F. Roberts, culminating in the powerfully sublime hymns of William Williams (Pantycelyn) and the mystical Ann Griffiths.
		The editor is to be congratulated on bringing together such a great variety of material which has hitherto been unavailable to the reader with no Welsh, and on presenting the fruits of recent research and fresh critical thinking in such an attractive book.

		The 36-year-old then Tory leader sealed the union with his 29-year-old bride with the Welsh marriage vow: "Yr wyfi i, William Hague, yn dy gymryd di, Ffion, yn wraig i mi." The bride wore an ivory silk crepe dress, the contours of which caused quite a stir, and she held a bouquet of lilies.

	Observer \| A party that is over - and out
		In a palpably sad ceremony, with his wife Ffion holding back tears, William Hague stood on the steps of Conservative Central Office and finally faced the inevitable.
		According to colleagues Hague made the decision to resign in the small hours as he sat with his wife Ffion in their flat watching the devastating results roll in before he returned to his own count in Richmond.
		In a belated bid to humanise his trainspotter image Hague took up judo, revealed his passion for cross-country ski-ing, and, most famously of all, got married to Ffion Jenkins in December 1997.

		Perhaps that contributed to one of numerous rumors about him: that he is himself a gay man, despite his engagement to Ffion Jenkins and a history of several other heterosexual relationships.
		Jenkins herself has been rumored (brace yourself!) to be desperate to marry a politician.
		In Hague's case, the truth may be bad enough: at age 13, the photo he posted in his bedroom was that of Margaret Thatcher (it was his childhood pin-up's endorsement that ultimately secured his current leadership role).

		Before the election, Ffion Jenkins (aka Mrs William Hague) was generally considered to be the Tory party’s most wasted asset.
		Perhaps it comes as little surprise when you consider that Ffion had refused to play the Tory wife (despite being titular patron of the Conservative Wives Association, her attendance at meetings is not high) beforehand.
		So it is that we have a rather skewed image of Ffion as ‘that nice, demure Welsh girl (isn’t she in PR or something?), when she is far from it.

		I was pretty happy with Blair (employment, human rights, etc) until he scuppered the Jenkins report, though I guess if he accepted it he would be the proverbial "turkey voting for Christmas".
		Translate that to something as key as education -- and Tories such as George Walden have pointed this out -- and you create the kind of social "barriers to entry" that are symptomatic of the rise of gated communities and private estates across the suburban USA.
