	White Cornish option on hospital form
Hunlef	Posted: 26.11.2006, 10:51
registered: Jul. 2006 Posts: 2092 Status: offline last visit: 02.01.09	Quote Hunlef, where did this quote come from? i am just curious I'm sorry, Angofbew, this really isn't a specific quote. It is more like a synopsis of the views of some English academics (I can't remember specific names at this time) and, perhaps, the view of some contributors of this forum. Quote If this did happen, which I believe it did not, then the Saxons would of eventually been assimilated into Celtic Society, and not the other way around. That's the point I was trying to make. If this really was the sequence of events, one might encounter a similar proportion of Celtic names in what is known as England as one would in the current Celtic nations of Britain. Clearly, this is not the case. Quote Athelstan makes it quite clear how these Germanic Peoples looked upon the Celtic Stock Yes, he regarded the Celts as foreigners, i.e the Wealeas. A similar reason was used to justify the imposition of double the coinage duty on Cornish tinners when compared to their Englisgh counterparts across the border in Devonshire. Quote I just cannot see how regarding all the Historical evidence, how anyone can come up with this absurd theory of integration into Saxon Society. All the historical evidence, right up until comparatively recent times, if the double coinage duty is anything to go by, points that way, I agree. However, in the last 150 years, the pace of assimilation has been rapid, a pace which today is more rapid than at any other period in history. Assimilation of the Cornish into English culture could be justified if the process was accepted by the Cornish. Historically, that might have been the case, through sheer ignorance and blind loyalty to the Crown. That it is not the case today, can be demonstrated by the plethora of evidence all over this forum, the court cases currently in progress, questions and challenges to government authority etc and there can be no doubt at all that the Cornish today are facing an almost relentless process of forced assimilation, contrary to all internationally accepted principles of human/minority rights. It is, therefore, to me at least, incomprehensible that those seeking some sort of devolved Cornish Assembly (one that is still "de facto" based in England) are fighting this issue from a position which fails to take into account the various charters and conventions emanating from Europe, all of which have implications for devolution, together with a complete and abject failure to recognise that, in law, we still have the legal/cvonstitutional right to our own seperate parliament. That that right exists is evidenced by the UK state's recognition of Stannary Law. So, as I am in danger of a severe digression - only I could turn a discussion, about the Germanic Saxons, round to one about constitutional rights etc! - I'll return to the topic of the thread! Quote When you sum up all the evidence, you can only come to one conclusion, I agree entirely! Quote and that is these claims are being made to belittle the Celtic calls of difference and autonomy. Nothing else makes sense. Yes, that's quite true. But, bearing in mind that in this specific Celtic nation of Kernow, we have an additional burden which no other Celtic minority or nation has to bear! That is the Duchy of Cornwall and its role of providing the heir to the throne with an income that is independent of the British/English tax-payer! Quote Nothing else makes sense. No, it doesn't.

Are you not offended there is no 'Black' Cornish or "Mixed Race' Cornish options for your kids to be recorded under? How will they be recorded? Cornish - But not white? I know I'd be pretty ropable about that.
