An Aberporth man has been charged with racial aggravation by displaying words that caused harassment.

Gary John Mathewson is alleged to have draped a white bed sheet over his garden fence containing the words Death to all Muslims who threaten us. Enoch Powell was right."

Mathewson, aged 35, of 79 Brynglas, Aberporth, was charged with causing racially aggravated harassment or alarm on February 7 this year, the charge brought under the Crime and Disorder Act.

The defendant, who was represented by Colin Taylor, was not in court when his case was called, and after an application by Crown prosecutor Lesley Harbon the magistrates issued a warrant without bail for his arrest.
