I can come and go as I like, am free to chose my partner, my sexuality, my religion,(or no religion) to live where I want, to say what I want, to learn and speak any language, think whatever I want....I can do pretty well anything I like. In what way am I not free?

I do not call Germany "Deutshland", or Holland "Netherlands". I use the normal words of my language, to do otherwise would sound a bit pretentious. Incidentally, the word "Cornwall" is,itself, ancient and has been used as the name of the Duchy for hundreds of years. Its claimed origin is..."The Welsh in Cornavia. From the Latin name Cornu meaning horn. West of Dunnoii (Devon) was the Corneu to the Britons - the land of the horn. The second syllable comes from the old english "wahl" meaning foreign, as that was how the English called the Britons or the Welsh. First recorded 891 as Cornwalam." So...you se, every time an English person refers to "Cornwall" they are accepting (unknowingly) that we are "foreigners in the far west". I think thats rich! Graham.

Did anyone see the Daily Mail article yesterday: "We're all Germans - and have been for 1600 years"? Basically, it only confirmed what everyone has known - and no one has challenged - for centuries. That the English are (illegal) immigrants from northern Germany. The article states that this only applies to the English, not to the Celtic Scots and Welsh. As usual, it omitted to mention the Cornish but the Institute of Molecular Research's genetic survey was emphatic in including the Cornish with the other Celts in sharing the amazingly ancient genetic strain along the western side of Britain.

The roots for the word Kernow are seemingly intertwined with the origins of the word for Cornwall, with anly the addidition of the anglo saxon(?) word "walas", meaning foreigner, added. I'm quite happy to be regarded as a "foreigner from Corneu" by the use of the ancient name of Cornwall. Graham.
