In some respects I agree with you Allister (its a very poor analogy in terms of scale), but in other respects John Angarrack had a point, do you think it will be acceptable to fly the Swastika in Jereusalem in 400 years time? At the end of the day the English did kill an awful lot of the Cornish a number of years ago.
Personally I think the world would be far better if we learnt to live with the past after so long, at the end of the day what is resentment about something that happened 500 years ago going to achieve?
Well said CK. As awful as it was, we can't change the past, but we can change the course of our future.

I'm not sure I agree with that statement, Nazism was certainly about more than wiping out the Jews, which is what most people now see it as, bear in mind during the war we didn't even know the holocauset was happening.
Can you see why the Cross of St George can have similar connotations to some people as the swastika does to the jews?
I'm not supproting anyone here by the way, just trying to see it from both sides of the fence..
Of course, although it was one of Hitler's key concepts.
No. I don't think the two are in any way comparable. The only reason it is compared is to stir up anger and hatred.
I don't think the CoSG should be flown from any public institution in Cornwall but if a comparison must be made then let's find something a tad more accurate.

Before you deliver your next bromide, please spend a while improving your knowledge of Cornish and Germanic history before you dismiss any comparisons relating to genocide.
It is the intent to "rid a filthy race" out of its homeland that is the fundamental basis of any genocide. The techniques are mere tools of fulfillment.
Ransacking our colleges was one technique. Paying Germans to slit 900 Cornish throats in ten minutes was another. Referring to promoting Cornish-ness in schools as "dangerous". Putting henchmen in our churches and forcing a new language and religion down our throats was another technique. Claiming Cornish Heritage as English. Double taxing us a "foreigners" then claiming we've been English all along was a financial technique. Asking for 10% of the population to sign a petition then throwing it in the bin. Building 70,000 homes for a mostly immigrant market is a dilution technique. Acknowledging every one of the 6300 minorities on the planet except for Cornwall is a cultural technique. Failing to teach Cornish children about their Celtic heritage is an educational practice.

What's with the personal remark at the end? Its unnecessary and rude. Can't we just discuss and debate and have different opinions, or is that not allowed?
Agreed. It is evil and imperialistic but it still barely compares to the Nazis.
