Heavens, listen to yourselves you sound like the Welsh for heavens sake.
I'm happy I never actually seem to find people like you in the street with your bigoted views and 'its anybody's fault but ours' mentality.
It seems that so many local layabouts are keen to just blame the english colonialists for not bothering to try and do something with you lives.
Bearing in mind so many are descended from people that have come in from other parts of the country and now call yourselves cornish.
I'm totally fed up and sick of this nonsense, have you ever travelled to some hideous places like the West Midlands, Hull, various parts of South Yorkshire, or parts of London. We are no worse off than these places, I don't hear Brummies callling for an independent Mercia, which is not really any more ridiculous than going back hundreds of years to the time when Cornwall really was a separate entity.
All this talk of devolution etc, and some fools even going as far as complete independence, I mean, what colour is the sky on your planet??
Fancy us having to fund our own armed forces perhaps??
Lets stop making excuses and get out there and do something, I have worked like a dog to build my business from scratch, the world (or England) doesn't owe me or any other cornishman a living!!!
Most of what this poster says is based upon a complete failure to understand the plethora of issues, legal, international, constitutional, historical, and cultural that currently impact upon that tiny sector of UK society that simply wishes to describe itself officially as 'Cornish' in order to achieve cultural parity with analogous groups.
If you don't wish to learn more about such things, then I would respectfully suggest you concentrate upon your own self-interests rather than indulge in discussions about which you appear to know little.
Apologies, this was the piece I meant to include in my post, the ridiculuous posturing using terms such as invading nation. I don't however see this piece of sensationalism being criticised.
Many people, aware of their Cornish history in which their constitutional significance has been gerrymandered away, will use such terminology. Bearing in mind the wholesale butchery inflicted on the Cornish albeit 450 years ago and the continuing measures that deny us parity of esteem, then I feel there is some justification for its use, especially since these factors are a manifestation of a minority/majority cultural conflict. Nevertheless, such terminology sometimes turns the sensitive stomachs of those who are unfamiliar with these issues and, personally, I do not use it.
There are in my mind three types of Cornish. Cornish Nationalists (the best type). Cornish who will become Nationalist (once they know the truth). And, scum sucking Traitorist filth.
Agreed angofbew with referance to the land grab it is english partnerships a forign quango buying up and compulsery purshsing even more Cornish land making 15% profit as 'admin costs' in passing and selling the land to forign [english] developers to build houses 82% of which by their own admission are for people from england.
