The marketeers and privateers seem to have got
their money grubbing claws into Cornwall and are now,
in cahoots with the 'Unitary Authority' gang, bending
language,brain cells and perception to the task of
selling Cornwall as 'One Cornwall' - never mentioning
the long fought for Cornish Assembly:
'On 5 December 2007, Local Government Minister, John Healey, announced that Cornwall was one of five counties to be allowed to re-structure local government and set up a flagship new authority to promote prosperity, empower citizens and communities and improve public services.
The new Council for Cornwall will start on 1 April 2009 and will replace the current County and District Councils. Elections will take place later that year.
The radical programme of change is being led by a Joint Committee of County and District Councillors supported by officers from all seven principal councils with help and involvement from partner organisations(who they? - are they democratically accountable?).
'The Chief Executive of Eden, Tim Smit will be giving an inspiring address ‘A Unified Cornwall’ at 12.15pm.'
Mystery 1: How can a speech be described as 'inspiring' before it has happened?
( Reality Cheque )
Mystery 2: How low are Whalley & Co's sights set if a glorified greenhouse keeper with an anglo-centric list is invited to pontificate on Cornwall's political future?
Mystery 3: Warum verwendet Herr Smit dieses unpassende southwestregionspeak Wort 'County' so häufig?
Mystery 4: Will we ever hear the Holy Grail words 'Cornish Assembly' again?
Trans:
One Cornwall
The Cornish Assembly
One And All !
...a bit bolder and assertive than that pathetically limp Lib nonDem UA Anglo-Centric Logo Lite edition.
Decades of Cornwall fighting for a proper Cornish Assembly and Whalley & Co don't even put it on the negotiating table. Liberally unDemocrat Arselikin head boys all...
1: Its the English standard, it might be a complete load of trollop, but, they will describe it as Inspiring, its all propaganda.
2: As long as 50,000 people want the Cornish Assembly, you will hear the words, as long as there are Cornish Nationalists, you will hear those words, as long as there is a Race of Cornish, you will hear those words
(AAHH, I'M SOUNDING MORE LIKE SOME SNOBBISH PM EVERYDAY, THAT ONE LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING BLAIR WOULD SAY!AAHH (Thats not a compliment to it btw))
That lil ol' UA Gravy Train is puffing at the station! Who else is busy clawing for a seat?
A talk by some of the long standing stalwart Cornishmen and Cornishwomen who have fought long and hard over many years for a proper Cornish Assembly only to be presented with this toytown UA would surely have been more fitting - and no doubt next to free!
This UA Gravy Train could do with cancellation and a brand new route worked out towards the proper destination of a proper Cornish Assembly.
Westminster morally owes it to Cornwall to undo the geo-political-territorial gerrymandered undemocratic annexation of Cornwall in 1889.
If it can apologise for slavery and the Irish Potato famine,and give the Chagos Islands back to the Chagosians,Wales back to the Welsh and Scotland back to the Scottish, then giving Cornwall back to the Cornish can be driven by a similar moral imperative...
I agree, stop clinging on to Countries not your own, give them back to the natives, and English, that means vacate Britain and move back to Germany, where you can have a feel what it is like, a country repressed by another, that will teach you gits.
'I’d like the new council to make Cornwall the greenest place in the world.” - What?
1.While Smit, in cahoots with Malcolm Bell, trawls the world with 'international tourist destination' marketing for ill informed jetsh*t gawpers, further exacerbating the extreme environmental damage being caused by jetsh*t in general and New quay Airport in particular?
2.While Smit takes over £200,000 from S.I.T.A. and then says and does nothing to oppose their mad rubbish furnace plan for St Dennis?
3.While Smit continues to put more fossil fuelled traffic on the roads than any other theme park in Cornwall?
'We must give this a chance and protect each other from criticism' - hmmm....'We' ?
Smit has had no visible involvement in the long campaign for greater Cornish autonomy.It is questionable whether his status as chief executive of an allegedly charitable organisation disqualifies him from pontificating on, promoting or endorsing a particular political party's policies on Cornwall's political and constitutional arrangements.
PS No mention of a proper Cornish Assembly objective there.
