Commenting on the news that the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) has banned the singing of Delilah, Welsh Conservative Sports Minister, Tom Giffard MS said:
“The decision is a wrongheaded one that amounts to simple virtue signalling, designed to ease the pressure the WRU are currently under. Calls to ban the song span at least the last decade, yet the WRU have chosen now to act.
“What people have been calling for is institutional change, improved working practices and a better complaints process for the WRU, but instead they are choosing to ban a much loved Tom Jones song. This action will solve nothing.”
