[edit] Jonathan Wellington
I can't find any outside verification of this, and the article itself reads like a joke. Joyous (talk) 05:41, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

The article may read like a joke, but then like they say the truth is far stranger than fiction. I have been doing research on this guy for the past six months and I can verify every word. I'll be adding some of his most memorable quotations soon. Not sure who wrote the article but the guy's done his homework! (Professor Port Talbot Ma Bsc Phd Phd Fag)
It is written in a rather facetious manner, but then again Mr. Wellington is something of a figure of fun in South Wales and especially Port Talbot. I cannot verify the quotations attributed to him but as far as I know everything else on here is true. They can be verified by checking back copies of the South Wales Squirrel newspaper, the newspaper of the regional South Wales Anarchist Group (SWAG) who have hailed Wellington as a paragon of local democracy and free speech (Anarchism is still a living creed in some parts of the South Wales Valleys, although Wellington denies any political affiliation with SWAG). His performance on 'Question Time Wales' is nothing short of legendary in these parts. Max Boyce was reduced to a seething wreck by Wellington's continual jibes about his height.
