00:00 Cardiff Museum is one of the best it could be in Europe.
00:09 It's a lovely place and got the most beautiful painting.
00:13 They are valuable, absolutely.
00:15 I think it's a shame if instead of closing,
00:19 perhaps there could be a little fees, not very expensive,
00:23 and it could be opened.
00:25 No, it's obviously a beautiful city, Cardiff.
00:29 It's got lots of visitors, so I think a museum is needed, isn't it?
00:33 Because people expect to go when they come and visit Cardiff.
00:36 They shouldn't be doing that, you need to keep that going.
00:40 Obviously for education and for all the student population here,
00:44 and they must need access to...
00:46 There's enough services being cut without cutting the essential ones like that.
00:49 Especially with children, for their education.
00:52 Especially if they're accessible for children to go to.
00:56 It's lovely.
00:58 Because the place is absolutely wonderful and it should be open.
01:02 Because a lot of children go there, and a lot of people spend time there,
01:07 and it's a wonderful place.
01:09 It's a shame if it's closed.
01:12 Well, you know, if you've got various things you need to spend money on
01:17 and not enough money to pay for them all,
01:19 then I suppose you do have to make a decision about how that money is allocated.
01:22 But museums are very important.
01:26 I'd be sorry to see the museum close.
01:28 I mean, is that really true? We both work for the NHS.
01:31 Is it true that the money will actually be allocated to the NHS?
01:33 And that's the thing that I think would be tricky.
01:35 I mean, obviously that is more important than museums.
01:37 But, yeah, is it actually going to go there?
01:39 Or is that just a party line? That's the thing that I would be not sure about.
01:42 This is exactly the point, isn't it?
01:45 Will they put it into frontline services?
01:47 And frontline services are sort of being cut anyway, aren't they?
01:52 Well, they don't tend to change the money around to other services, do they, when they cut them?
