We were pleased to receive the following communication from Paul Durden today ( reproduced below ). We believe he has a point! St. David's Day is a fitting occasion to remember the Welsh 'working class' heroes who suffered and in some cases died, fighting for social justice. Paul is sponsoring a petition to move the grave of Dic Penderyn to his home town of Merthyr Tydfil. Richard Lewis ( a.k.a Dic Penderyn ) was almost certainly the victim of a judicial murder by the English government for his part in the 'Merthyr Riots' of 1831. You can read more about him here and here . Paul Durden feels that his grave should be moved back to Merthyr Tydfil, "the town that loved him" . If you agree please sign the petition below:-

" Hi ya all over the pond, I went along to lay some flowers at the grave of Dic Penderyn last Monday afternoon (St Davids day) The church was closed, and there had not been anybody else there. So much for the Welsh patriots. I also lit a candle and some nice vanilla incense. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

Paul Durden.

P.S. I also dragged a film crew along with me, and I fired of a 21gun salute. Oh what fun we had. I think my next move is to get someform of petition together to have his body exhumed and re buried in Merthyr Tydfil, the town that loved him. This is the link for the petition. Please feel free to spread it about, if you get my drift."
