Peter Hain is about as Welsh as I am a Bantu pygmy yet he thinks he can give moral lectures to the Welsh about the dangers of political extremism.
The thing is Peter Hain should know all about political extremism, as a former supporter of African Communist terrorism he was forced to flee South Africa as the police were investigating a terror cell that was supported by his family and friends.
Hain's own activities have involved criminal actions that can be defined as terrorism under the Terrorism Act of 2000 after he organised the anti-South African sports boycotts of the 1970's and 1980's, when he devoted himself to almost full time activism in opposing South African sports tours of Britain.

 Guardian Unlimited Politics | Aristotle | Peter Hain
Peter Hain took a bit of a knock when in early 2001 he was moved from Foreign Office minister to energy minister following Peter Mandelson's resignation, but his ambition is unlikely to be held in check for too long.
In the 70s Mr Hain was sufficiently popular among young Liberals to become their chairman, and then president, but they turned on him as an opportunist "turncoat" when he switched to the Labour party in 1977.
Mr Hain's problem is that his mixture of radical commitment and personal ambition compels him to try to energise and lead every organisation he joins.

 The Observer | Politics | Brown lifts Labour's hopes for big majority
Hain praised Brown's 'superhuman' job on the economy, but said the challenge was to persuade disaffected Labour voters of the risks of protest voting.
Hain was infuriated by calls in last week's New Statesman, owned by Labour MP Geoffrey Robinson, for voters to oust more than 40 Labour MPs to teach Blair a lesson.
Hain said the question of whether New Labour had changed the country was 'contradictory and complex': 'It's now unacceptable to be a racist, it's unacceptable for the police to have treated Stephen Lawrence's family in the way they did, it's unacceptable to discriminate against gays or lesbians.

 New Statesman - NS Interview - Peter Hain
Hain's personal position on the war was made more pain- ful because his parents, seasoned anti-apartheid campaigners from South Africa, had bitterly opposed his decision.
Hain offers a different scenario, saying he thinks Charles Clarke is probably the only senior party figure with the necessary chutzpah to tell Blair to his face that he has to go.
Hain is too cautious to use the phrase "post-Blair" himself, and insists that, despite initial nervousness, Downing Street is now fully behind his reforms.

 Guardian Unlimited | Columnists | Martin Kettle: It will pain him to hear it, but he's the liberal Labour needs
Peter Hain's call for the closure of Guant?mo is typical of an attitude that could revive his party
Hain may be rather earnest for some tastes and he may never be the biggest beast in the Labour political jungle (he would like to be the secondbiggest, however); but in the end he has the great virtue of being relaxed about people saying what they think.
The most striking thing about Hain's call for the closure of the American detention centre for suspected terrorists is not that it was radically at odds with the government's general thinking, but that it was so obviously in line with what most sensible people in this country believe.
