Gareth Edwards (quoted in Ed Miliband's speech and later interviewed on Newsnight)

Gareth is an Arthurian name. 

It first appears in Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, (Sir Gareth is a brother of Sir Gawain and one of the Knights of the Round Table).

Did the parents of Gareth Edwards (quoted in Ed Miliband's speech and later interviewed on Newsnight) have this chivalric reference in mind when thinking of a name for their son?

If Gareth Edwards is meant to be Sir Gareth of the Round Table is Ed Miliband aspiring to be King Arthur?

Will he meet The Knights Who Say Ni when he is next wandering on Hampstead Heath?

Will he shout "run away, run away" when next confronted by Dave and the Tory front bench?
