Dear Editors
There is nothing inevitable about a Cornish Assembly it is extremely unlikely ever to happen and in my opinion extremely undesirable in any event. All the time the world is becoming a smaller place and a place that is more racially mixed which I welcome. I think that multi-culturalism should be welcomed and I very definitely do so .I am a mongrel but so are all of us if you go back far enough, if you go back even further we all came out of Africa and if you go back even further organic life arose from inorganic matter! Whilst not forgetting our local traditions hopefully we can build bridges to peoples of other races and cultures and welcome ways to break down barriers between us and others rather than seeking to erect new ones. I am proud to be British but I am also proud to be a European and more broadly of Homo Sapiens I hope that you are to.

Next year there will be no DC and therefore there will be no mouth piece for these petty twats to promote themselves. other than the letters page of the WMN. Any tories wishing to be in the cornwall council would most likely have more sense than this one, although perhaps NC is a special case.
But isnt he (whoever he is) right about the "going back far enough"?

What the hell has a Cornish Assembly got to do with multiculturalism?
If an ethnically-Indian person (for example) who grew up in Cornwall and loved it so much they wanted to serve it, I would have no problem with them representing a constituency in a Cornish Assembly.
Nothing, multiculturalism is just a political tool for the modern day soft fascist slave management society we've been squeezed into, together with other small bunches of migrating European and Asian slave peoples, and a few Aussies.
We need a parliament anyway, not a assembly, assembly is wussy stuff, a parliament kicks, comes pre-loaded with free power-ups like charters and customs and bizarre pardons that make the Cornish THE ONLY GROUP OF PEOPLE OF ANY KIND EVER BEEN GIVEN THE RIGHT TO SAY NO TO THE ENGLISH MONARCHY GOD SQUAD AND THEIR PARLIAMENT AND POWERS AND (worthless) ACTS.
"Yeah right, I need to check out the security first before I pledge my lottery pound to a fighting fund to rescue Cornwall from becoming a total theme park."
No you don't, you need to validate to your self that the Charter of Pardon was confirmed in the Commons as still being valid. Then, there's only one vital ingredient left as a necessary requirement for successful recognition attainment - The Balls to go for it together.
Rescue Cornwall - One and All.
They paid £1000 back then to rescue Cornwall, the Pardon didn't come without a price (true English style), and just a dozen years after the slaughter at Blackheath common and the execution of An Gof and Flamank.
Would £1000 in 1508 be about £100,000 at today's rate, maybe?
But they raised it, they kept Cornwall alive and free, and they were a fucksite poorer than any of us are today.
So back on topic, yes, it will erect barriers if we get a Cornish Assembly, barriers between the English who still live in England (in their mind) and the Cornish who mistakenly think they've got their Nation back.
With a parliament its a different kettle of pilchards all together.
When the Cornish Nation's parliament re-opens officially, it will be borders that are created not barriers, natural borders that have always been there - resting safe in the knowledge that they will always remain.
Multicultralism makes no sense, it is just a myth.
And people who talk about the world getting smaller are usually talking about institutions they support getting bigger. Which I rarely think is a good thing.
Spend some time in London, you will see how is a vibrant and good thing. But sure, it can mess up and get segregation, which is a bad thing.
*There is no God. There is No Soul. There is no Heaven. This is our only life; it is rare and special and precious. Nothing is important; except the happiness of me and the happiness of all others.*
I've spent time there and I wouldn't call it vibrant. But point is that it makes no sense, either people will mostly be segregated and it isn't really multiculturalism or there will be a "melting pot", usually accompanied by social upheaval and tension, and a hybrid culture will be the outcome.
Quote Graham Facks-Martin...." There is nothing inevitable about a Cornish Assembly it is extremely unlikely ever to happen and in my opinion extremely undesirable in any event. All the time the world is becoming a smaller place and a place that is more racially mixed which I welcome."
Sounds like a man with a vested interest!? Found his little place in the sun and doesn't want to loose it. Probably a 'nice' chap generally, but confused.
What he says about the world being more more racially mixed is stating the obvious as we've always been racially mixed, what he is wrong about is that the world may be becoming smaller in terms of communication between peoples, but there is a growing desire by ethnic groups to have more control over their future. The Cornish are in terms of race mixed like all other national groups, but as an ethnic group they are entitled to have a say in and control over their own destiny!
