If you are expecting our national poet, here in the rain sodden post industrial nation that is Wales to be called Williams, Thomas or Ap something or other think again.

Whatever… The tweet that enraged me is below and comes from a Natonalist Irish Pro Palestinian account.

Another day comes and another chap has cancelled his subscription to Shareprophets, the finamcial, fraud busting website I run. He does so with a blood libel against the Jewish state of Israel.
