0:00.0 | Hello, this is the WebBox forecast. I'm Matt Shorley. In Cardiff today, my tour of the |
0:08.6 | country continues to the standup show in Cardiff last night and we've been broadcasting |
0:13.5 | on Times Radio Live from the National Museum in Cardiff today. Coming up on the podcast, |
0:19.4 | I've been chatting to Simon Hart, the Welsh Secretary, about everything from the future |
0:26.8 | of Wales, the prospect of independence, the future of Boris Johnson too, and all those |
0:32.0 | recorded a few days ago, I asked him as well about the Ukrainian situation as well. So that's |
0:36.5 | coming up on the podcast, just a moment. Also, the incredible story of John Hughes, the Welshman |

1:28.8 | from Wales. He's also announced that Wales will be a nation of sanctuary, which is a bit |
1:33.8 | of a contrast to what Priti Patel who's kind of been dragged kicking and streaming to have |
1:37.8 | been almost a nation of sanctuary if you were related to someone quite distantly maybe. |
1:43.6 | So it's actually quite interesting this. Wales has always had a bit more of a different |
1:48.3 | attitude towards immigration, as opposed to England, though. There is quite widespread |
1:52.6 | support in England for allowing refugees to come from Ukraine. And I think part of that |
1:57.8 | is, I mean, if you look at the building room now, this is the National Museum in Cardiff, |
