KERNOW is the native language name for Cornwall which is NEXT to England
like Wales, and as distinct from England as Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
You will find many references confirming this fact at authoritative
locations on the internet.
Please therefore include 'KERNOW' as a geographical network option
within the UK.
Not to do so is offensive and its absence denies those who wish to
select this option the choice of doing so.
Please advise via e mail when this is done and that regional designation
becomes available.

Thanks for the suggestion. We will certainly keep it in mind as we
continue to improve the site.
Thanks for contacting Facebook

Thank you for your prompt reply.
As things stand, people of Cornwall who wish to select 'Kernow' or even 'Cornwall' as their regional designation are being denied that option.
You will find that MANY residents and natives of Kernow/Cornwall will choose that designation over ANY other.
Therefore it is in the best interests of 'Facebook' to make that regional designation available as soon as possible.
Thanks again for your responsiveness to this correspondence and we look forward to this option being made available soon so we can make our location known in terms that make sense.
From ‘Facebook’:
22.10.2007
Thanks again for your feedback. We hope to add this as an option in the
future.
Thanks for contacting Facebook.'

We the undersigned believe that Cornwall should have its own Network Region on Facebook. Cornwall possesses one of the world's oldest natural borders, its own language and flag, and a population of 500,000 people. We therefore believe that the owners of Facebook should now recognise this by introducing the Cornwall Network region.

This is despicable behaviour by an MP who is effectively be demanding that Cornwall is joined to Plymouth and Devon as a county.
Looney lib-dem Julia Goldsworthy is no Cornishwoman.
It shows that going to a private school for girls far away from the area she claims to represents has made her old-fashioned and out of touch with the modern nation of Cornwall.

HERE:'Julia hasn't got this right at all.
On her web site press release she appears to be demanding that the Duchy of Cornwall be defined by Facebook as a 'county' of England:
Julia Goldsworthy's 'county' contaminated web site press release.This does the Duchy of Cornwall's distinct and separate history and status no favours at all - being a Celtic Nation which,like Wales and Scotland, is NEXT to England.
Julia would benefit from a refresher course on matters Cornish and get her language in line with the findings of the parliamentary Kilbrandon Report.
Here is some related discussion:
http://www.corn...pic-2839.htm
Julia needs to amend her language to dispense with the word 'county' prior to making her parliamentary submission and to insist that 'Facebook' include Cornwall as a distinct countRy of the UK with the same 'Facebook' regional status as Wales,Scotland and England.'
Perhaps her little boat needs further helpful steerage:

Julia Goldsworthy (Shadow Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Department for Communities and Local Government; Falmouth & Camborne, Liberal Democrat)
It is my pleasure to present a petition on behalf of many thousands of people living in Cornwall who would like the county to be recognised as a network region on Facebook. Despite the fact that Cornwall has a population of 500,000, the nearest geographical area represented on Facebook is the city of Plymouth in Devon. Some 14,500 people are members of the group and hundreds have added their names to the petition that they would like presented before Parliament. There are many respects in which people feel that Cornwall's unique needs and identity are subsumed in wider zones. I agree with my constituents that more needs to be done, by Facebook as well as the Government, to ensure that Cornwall's voice is properly heard.
The petition states: The Petition of residents of Cornwall, Declares that Cornwall should have its own Network Region on Facebook. Cornwall possesses one of the world's oldest natural borders, its own language and flag, and a population of 500,000 people. We therefore believe that the owners of Facebook should now recognise this by introducing the Cornwall Network region.
The Petitioner therefore requests that the House of Commons urges the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport to put pressure on the owners of Facebook to grant Cornwall network region status.

What is going on? Has the daft bat picked up the wrong thread or what!
Julia, we know you read this forum.
THE PETITION WE WANT TO SEE DISCUSSED IN PARLIAMENT IS NOT ABOUT FACEBOOK.
Clue = 50,000 signatures. Do you remember where they put it?

If Julia had opposed the unitary authority in parliament and instead called for census option, assembly, duchy investigation, kernow domain name etc etc then we would have a proper job MP.

Most young people in Cornwall see it as a region, not a county, and definitely not a county of England.
No doubt JG is towing the Whalley lib-autocratic line of ensuring Cornwall is recognised as a slightly self important county. If she thinks young people are that stupid then she's more thick than previously thought.
Blabbing on about facebook in the houses of parliament is nothing more than a cynical attempt to show like she's somehow part of the youth. Sorry JG but grow up and do some proper parliamentary work for Cornwall, you left your private girls school over ten years ago so stop waving your hockey sticks and get a grip.

Im sorry to say this but that's bolloks mate.
I am CONTINUALLY teased, bullied, abused by people who think differently. Those who believe that Cornwall is a county of England. I say it's not.
There is no "young army" of Cornish nationalists coming through, there is few people coming anyway.
In a school of 750 - about 7 are Cornats.
The other 743 odd think "Cornwall = County = England"
THATS not MOST
Sorry, but that quote is bollocks - and i know better than most people on this forum.

Have you asked all 743 of them?
From my experience of young Cornish people 15-25 I would say a good slice of them see Cornwall as a region whereas the others are usually willing to listen to honest argument and facts.

No I havent. But seeing as only about 7 actually stand up for Cornwall - and the rest of the school beats the hell out of us - I could say its around that figure.
From my experience - thats not true.
They are usually ignorant, brainwashed and closed minded people that, unless you open their mind to something first THEN implant the information, they won't listen, and will probably say something along the lines of
" You Cornish Bas-tard, Cornwall is a COUNTY of ENGLAND, thats why we have a COUNTY COUNCIL and SH-IT"
For example of opening minds, a friend of mine got intrested in 9/11 conspiracy theories. I guided him through some subjects, and he agreed that the Governments were corrupt, a load of liars and stuff, then I told him about Cornwall -and how all those attributes apply.
Unfortunatly, it didnt convert him, but thats my example

I would say that there is bound to be a larger, quieter, group of your school mates who agree with you.
Besides, school children bully each other. Any difference, any part of you that draws attention to yourself, no matter how small, will be exploited. I was a vegetarian in school and I was bullied for that. A few bullies stay the same through adulthood but most people grow up.
... that don't agree with you. Please don't be so arrogant as to label other people "brainwashed".
they won't listen, and will probably say something along the lines of
Give them 5 years to mature, to go to college and uni and then approach them again.
Here we go,
"Converting" people is not the way to persuade people, we are not a religion.

Its not right to say it is when so many things tell us it isn't.
How many counties do you know with their own language, Stannary Parliament, National anthems etc.
How many counties used to have kings.
Perhaps you haven't read all the evidence to prove Cornwall IS a unique Nation in its own right.
