I fully support Dick Cole and understand MK is in a tricky position but it must not be forgotten that ethnic and civic nationalism are two sides of the same coin and cannot be separated.
Supporting the Cornish ethnic group does not mean denying equal rights for all, Cornish, English or other. However Cornwall needs the Cornish because without them it is nothing, there is no nation.
I think sometimes the 'wider Cornish movement' would just like to see a bit more get up and go from MK but I suppose this is impossible seeing as they are all part time.

You are entitled to your opinion Phil. Here's mine :
Well GD, though your posts to this point have been nothing but shite, I for one thank you for posting this, if it is bona fide.
With reference to the first paragraph only: Nationalists and Recognitionists, must feel as flat as a Witch's Tit (I do ) and as for the founder members of MK , they must be turning in their graves !
The State oppressors must be thrilled that Cornwall's only political party takes this stance. Though I have always felt that this was MK's take, I admit that seeing in print has quite shocked me.
Thank you for your honesty Dick. As things stand, I would'nt vote for you locally or nationally if you were the last party on Earth.

Graham, Dicks views are NOT the views of all in MK. He is a good Man but as in all walks of life he see's his views as right. That is not to say he is wrong in everything, he is not. I wish sometimes he would think more before he writes some of the things he says. I for one gave him a hard time when he wrote what he did in regards to CNLA. What came over to any was a total submission to the English. I told him he was wrong, and I will be talking to him on Friday in regards to this e-mail. There can be NO submission on Cornish Nationhood or Identity, that IS the basis on what MK is. MK is a NATIONALIST Party PERIOD. If Members of MK do not believe this then they should resign. I have nothing against English. Welsh or whatever belonging to MK, but they must believe Cornwall is a Nation, and they must also believe that Cornwall has a right to be Free. The Cornish must be a majority in their own Land, anything else is just cack. I for one will never give up the rights of Cornwall and the Cornish, and many in the Party are the same. Yet again with his words, he is turning good Cornish People,like yourself, away from their own Party. He has to stop and think of the wider implications of what he does and says. By its nature, MK has to be a broad church of Political Opinion ( we do not have room for more than on Nationalist Party. What we do not need is by words of any member to scare away our supporters.
I think Dick Coles's email is quite acceptable and what one would expect for a party that stands in British elections. If I lived in Wales or Scotland I would expect similar emails from PC or the SNP. To many people, MK are the only legitimate face of Cornish Nationalism.
Thank you Angofbew. I concur with everything you say re MK, and that Dick is a good man.
I have been attacked on this forum for criticising MK, but I can assure you that is not my wish. I want a strong MK that supports fully the rightful recognition of our people and our Country.
That has not been the case with MK in my six years as being active for the cause.
I wll continue to criticise in a constructive way as we all should, to strengthen our unity and not to divide it.
And a piss poor job they're doing Mike.....at present.

It is a sad fact that MK has to be everything to everybody, and in that Dick has a difficult job to balance what has to be said. However there are basic principles that cannot be brushed over. Dick is a really nice Bloke, and I do not envy his position. I do think however he takes on too much, and he possibly does not see errors that he makes. I think he should allow someone else to browse his writings before he sends them. We all do it, caught up in our thoughts and not seeing that there might be another way to say what we want. Someone in his position has to have that advice, I think that it is essential. If I was in his position, I would damn well make sure that I had others to check what I wrote. It cannot do any harm.
I still don't see anything wrong with his email whatsoever. It gives a very broad view of what MK are about, I assume it being the first email to this person that Dick Cole has sent. To a stranger I would expect such a reply - broad and general.
