English: Diolch, Llywydd. Well, I look forward to the Member's lecture sequence, where we can enjoy his views at even greater length. Of course, he makes two basic misunderstandings in his question. The first is that he has no idea about how collective Cabinet Government works. Every member of this Cabinet is an equal member of the Cabinet, and equally committed to it. His own semi-detached membership of many parties around this Assembly stands him in very bad stead in understanding that basic principle. And he betrayed himself, in any case, in his first sentences. He betrayed himself with that first sentence, because what he believes in, Llywydd, is the marketisation of education. He believes in that league table approach to education in which we treat education as a commodity, in which we understand nothing of the value of it, in which we simply don't understand the way that parents have a much finer understanding of what goes on in their schools than he will ever have on their behalf. When you look at the results that were published last week, not only in relation to the health service and public appreciation of health services in Wales, you will see there what parents in Wales make of the education that their children receive. It's a completely different picture to the one that he would seek to portray, and that's because, Llywydd, in the end, the Member has no idea of the way in which people in Wales value public services, have voted in favour of the approach that we have to public services. He comes with a completely different mindset. It is only weeks since, sitting in a different party there, he invited me to join with him in celebrating the life and work of Margaret Thatcher - [ Interruption.] Well, I remember it.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Wel, edrychaf ymlaen at gyfres ddarlithoedd yr Aelod, lle gallwn fwynhau ei farn ar sail fwy hirfaith fyth. Wrth gwrs, mae'n gwneud dau gamddealltwriaeth sylfaenol yn ei gwestiwn. Y cyntaf yw nad oes ganddo unrhyw syniad sut y mae Llywodraeth Cabinet gyfunol yn gweithio. Mae pob aelod o'r Cabinet hwn yn aelod cyfartal o'r Cabinet, ac yr un mor ymrwymedig iddo. Mae ei aelodaeth led-wahanedig o lawer o bleidiau o gwmpas y Cynulliad hwn yn ei roi mewn sefyllfa wael iawn o ran deall yr egwyddor sylfaenol honno. A bradychodd ei hun, beth bynnag, yn ei frawddegau cyntaf. Bradychodd ei hun gyda'r frawddeg gyntaf honno, oherwydd yr hyn y mae'n credu ynddo, Llywydd, yw marchnadeiddio addysg. Mae'n credu yn y dull tabl cynghrair hwnnw o ymdrin ag addysg lle'r ydym ni'n trin addysg fel nwydd, lle'r ydym ni'n deall dim am ei gwerth, lle nad ydym yn deall o gwbl y ffordd y mae gan rieni ddealltwriaeth well o lawer o'r hyn sy'n digwydd yn eu hysgolion nag y bydd ganddo ef fyth ar eu rhan. Pan edrychwch chi ar y canlyniadau a gyhoeddwyd yr wythnos diwethaf, nid yn unig o ran y gwasanaeth iechyd a gwerthfawrogiad y cyhoedd o wasanaethau iechyd yng Nghymru, byddwch yn gweld yn y fan honno barn rhieni yng Nghymru ar yr addysg y mae eu plant yn ei chael. Mae'n ddarlun hollol wahanol i'r un y mae ef yn ceisio ei bortreadu, ac mae hynny oherwydd, Llywydd, yn y pen draw, nad oes gan yr Aelod ddim math o syniad o'r ffordd y mae pobl yng Nghymru yn gwerthfawrogi gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, wedi pleidleisio o blaid y dull gweithredu sydd gennym ni ar gyfer gwasanaethau cyhoeddus. Daw ef â meddylfryd hollol wahanol. Wythnosau'n unig sydd wedi mynd heibio ers iddo fy ngwahodd, yn eistedd mewn gwahanol blaid yn y fan yna, i ymuno ag ef i ddathlu bywyd a gwaith Margaret Thatcher - [ Torri ar draws.] Wel, rwyf i'n ei gofio.
