Welsh Nationalism: Cymru am byth
What does it mean to be Welsh?
The writer Jan Morris said Wales was ‘a distinctly separate and often vehement idea’. But what is that idea? Do you need to understand Welsh to grasp it?
How is Wales … different? And is it going to become even more unlike England?
Ros Taylor talks to Swansea University professor Martin Johnes and Plaid Cymru Senedd member Heledd Fychan about the history of the Welsh nationalist movement and the future of the Welsh language.
‘There’s lots of angst with being Welsh.’ — Heledd Fychan, Plaid Cymru Senedd member
‘The idea that you should take decisions about Wales in Wales has become a political norm. Has devolution made any practical difference to life in Wales? Probably not, to be honest.’ — Prof Martin Johnes
‘Part of the problem is that in many ways we have a one-party state in Wales… Wales is a very small place and Wales suffers from the fact it doesn’t have a diversity of opinions.’ — Martin Johnes
‘Can you believe that in 2024, despite 25 years of devolution, it’s not been normalised that children in Wales should learn Welsh history?’ — Heledd Fychan

Ugandan Migration: 90 Days to Leave
The expulsion of Asians from Uganda in 1972 was brutal.
Twenty eight thousand refugees arrived in Britain. The government scrambled to find homes and jobs for them.
Not everyone was pleased about it. But if Ugandan Asians held British passports they had the right to come here — and most of them thrived. Why did they do well — and can it teach us anything about how we treat refugees?
Neena Lakhani was 14 when she was forced to leave Uganda. She tells Ros Taylor what it was like to start a new life in Britain, while King’s College London professor Jonathan Portes talks about what happened to the East Asian migrants who arrived.
‘My father said please don’t touch my children. You can kill me but don’t kill my children.’ - Neena Lakhani
‘Everybody around us was welcoming, and that was such a joy.’ - Neena Lakhani
‘The benefits of promoting successful integration, as we know with the East African Asians, are very large.’ - Jonathan Portes
