    2005 gobbledegook award

    The 2005 winner of the annual Plain English Campaign award for gobbledegook is welsh labour MP Rhodri Morgan, Welsh First Minister, for:

    "The only thing which isn't up for grabs is no change and I think it's fair to say it's all to play for, except for no change."
