SIR,

I have always tried to sympathise with minority opinions, especially as I harbour so many myself.

However, Peter Edwardson's argument appears to have degenerated into a simple anti-Welsh rant with no consideration of what would really be good or bad for Wales.

Most seriously, his enthusiasm has got the better of him in accusing members of Plaid Cymru of supporting the burning of English holiday homes.

I am unsure of the law, but his silly statement sounds libellous to me. Perhaps Mr Edwardson would like to issue an apology.
