last visit: 17.02.07 		FLB, yes, the BBC has put a southwest story on their Cornwall page. I just don't see this as an issue.

I have idled my way to other BBC sites to see if Cornwall is being singled out and, no, it is not. It looks to be standard practice for the BBC to "regionalise" their sites. For example, the BBC Somerset site has a story which is largely about Swindon and Wiltshire; the BBC Derbyshire site has a story about arts and the East Midlands; and the BBC Essex site has a story about Anglian Water and six counties in eastern England.

It's the flag story all over again: something that happens elsewhere as well, presented as though it is just Cornwall. I'm amazed that after an actual flag incident in Yorkshire, England last year involving the same law, around sixty votes on this site classify a somewhat hypothetical flag issue in Cornwall as "English oppression."

Of course, you might still think the BBC has got it wrong, but in that case it is a bigger wrong than Cornwall.

Yes there is a bigger wrong afoot, i am attacking it from a Cornish point of view. I take a stand against the culture destroying aspects of globalisation.
To do that i think you have to root yourself in the culture you come from and defend it as opposed to being an individual in free fall who likes Assyrian base reliefs but not their own culture.

Talking of Assyrians, there is another minority group that still exists today and who are struggling against assimilation.
