I urge everyone to defy this racist pathetic ruling and fly cros an sen Perran from their homes and business premises. I fly one in my back garden, but now i think i'll fly one from the front of the house and wait for the thought police to come knocking at my door....or will i disapear one day only to be found dead and dressed inappropriately in the woods with a bottle of pills by my side!

In protest if we are only allowed to fly so called "national flags" how about the Welsh one or even more controversial the Irish republican tricolour. I know its not the same as our flag, but if there was consensus and every body flew the I R T it would cause quite a stir and probably get publicity. I think we should make English flags equally as unwelcome in our Duchy!!!! All publicity is good publicity!

What constitutes a flag as presumably a bra can be flown from a flagpole if you feel inclined. Or is it the pole that needs planning permission? There must be a way round this - human rights? - external shape of flag? - type of pole? - angle of pole? Inundate the authorities for planning permission? Time for some Cornish inventiveness!

This is just another little kick in the teeth for a proud people who live in one of Europe's poorest regions and so unnecessary at that.

registered: Aug. 2004 Posts: 733 Status: offline last visit: 17.02.07	The free flying of An baner Kernewek in public has been banned because the government say Kernow is not a nation. Well, what would they know, after all Kernow was a nation long before England came into existence.

Cornwall is not a nation, it's a county. Got it? No one has banned the Cornish flag. You can still fly the Cornish flag. You have to apply for planning permission for a flagpole for it. Got that?
