WHEN I write letters to the press I have to accept that not everyone will agree with what I write and I am usually pleased when someone writes expressing a different view to mine. However in the case of Lyn Luke ap Trin Davies (November 18) I must admit I do not understand his letter although he does agree with me in part. But I have the impression that he is attacking me and not the context of my letter. I do accept constructive criticism, but not rudeness.

I must stress that I stand very strongly with my letter and the point I was trying to make is that we are almost into 2016, that it is time for us to lay down our arms and work for world peace. Should anyone hate me for saying that – except maybe the terrorists that attacked Paris recently with the loss of 129 lives?
