How dare Allister, Gravydave and FrekoMbiko make such disgusting remarks as they have on this thread. It is all about degree, to suggest that the Murder of 10% of the Cornish in one episode is not a comparison to the Nazi holocaust is a complete travisty. If we put this in some context they might just understand. If it happened today in the UK it would mean 6 million deaths, the USA 25 million deaths, China 100 million. Just because it happened in a Small Country does not lesson the ideals behind the incident, or is the Murder of People from smaller Nations not as important?? GD you said it had nothing to do with the Cornish Race, what utter c**p. It had everything to do with it, kill off the trouble making Cornish, no more problems for the King. I honestly do not know what Planet some people are on.

Where there's a Negative - there's always a Positive. You just have to find it.
The Holocaust of the Jews was the first planned industrial Genocide in history; there was extraction, displacement, and then factory death.
It was not invaders killing the invaded in attepts to gain control and surpress rebellion.
I don't know much about the Cornish Holocaust (Is it differnt to the Prayer Book rebelion?) but would like to learn if anyone can point some refs.
If there is evdience that the Cornish Holocaust was comparable to the Holocast of The Jews, I will humbly accept my mistaken view of this.
But lets assume that there was, relavant to the time and populate, a true Holocaust like the Jews, Kulacks or Rwanda, that in every sense it was of the same relative magnitude of crime and evil as these others.
Even so, one cannot ignore the fact that time does and should heal wounds. That's of crucial importance.
Many people in this forum instantly assume that unless I agree with them in every fact I am the enemy and anti-cornish and Pro-Royal and all that.... thats really narrow minded of you, if that is you.
I am English and Cornish, I hope one day I get the chance to choose just one, and then it will be Cornish, without question. And I will be as proud as all of you who romantically cling to the idea that your all Celtic warriors fighting for a land that doesn't, and probably never did, exist in the way you romantcise it.
If that is how you want to see things, cool, I have no beef, but dont take issue with me because I dont feel like you.
If you want a better Cornwall for the Cornish then we are on the same side.
But I think some of you here really, just love the importance you feel this phantom battle gives you.
The file is too big Phil so I uploaded a snippet to make it possible to delete. I am now splitting into three parts. Should be up within an hour or so. I'll let you know when it's done.

You're an English and Cornish man who's never heard of John Angarrack, and you're in MK, and you think you're in a phantom battle with those who are only Cornish, not English who are fighting you back as romanticised Celtic Warriors, fighting over a land that doesn't, and probably never did, exist?
And you want sensible answers back to your postings?
