BERNADETTE HORTON takes Rod Liddle to task over his latest column which is insulting to the people of Wales
The Prince of Wales Bridge. More than 30,000 people have signed a petition against its renaming

RIGHT-WING hack Rod Liddle decided to give his extreme personal views in the recent edition of the Sunday Times on the naming of the second bridge across the river Severn linking Wales with England.

The background to the story is that First Minister of Wales Carwyn Jones and Tory PM Theresa May decided jointly to name the crossing as The Prince of Wales Bridge in honour of Prince Charles. 

Many people in Wales are unsurprisingly annoyed and angry at this decision and feel the Welsh people should have been consulted and perhaps a choice of names submitted and a public majority vote made.
