Itll mean close to half the welsh population, around 1. 5 Million People will now be under much tighter restrictions. Our correspondent, Hywel Griffith reports now, from cardiff. Weve got to come to a decision by sunday. The logistics of lockdown can be painful. Leigh and her grandson, corey, cant decide how theyll cope. It all depends on how long this covid lockdown lasts. They live separately, and so from sunday evening cant be under the same roof or leave cardiff. Other relatives live in places already under lockdown, so theyll all be cut off. Its a travesty, isnt it . Ill be honest with you, i think its going to have a lot of psychological effects. I think its going to bring in a lot of loneliness, and i really am not looking forward to the second wave. I think its going to be twice as bad as the first wave. They endured the first time, but knowing that coronavirus has spiked again bec

But wall street journal columnist dan haninger said the intolerance goes well beyond college speakers. He joins me along with political diary editor jason riley. Dan, as we said, this has been known to happen in the past, but it seems to be picking up in number and in the breadth of the people who are banned. I mean, Condoleezza Rice is hardly some radical. Shes the
