SIR

In last week's Beacon RW Bradley faced a rash of criticism for articulating his views on Wales and on the Welsh in general. However, I would like to congratulate him on articulating his views.

Everyone has the right to free speech however ill-informed and bigoted they may be. I would also like to take this opportunity to complement the Beacon for publishing his letters, it's lovely to see a local newspaper that believes so implicitly in free speech.
