Cornwall is a Country

[angofbew]

Phil Vickery isn't even Cornish. Plus if he did say that Cornwall is a part of England, then he is talkiing through his butt. I am CORNISH .... NOT and never will be English. I mean, why would I want to lower myself to that level?

[cornubian]

@angofbew - Amen Brother.

As my ancestor and our compatriot said on the day of his execution at the Tyburn Tree:

"Speak the truth and only then can you be free of your chains"

Thomas Flamank 1497. Kernow ha kernowyon bewa arta!

[pikemancolley]

your blood is no more celt than mine, come on dude , your english and that is that, if its good enuff for phil vickery its good enough for you, were a mix of all blood, you included, whats the problem were brits, for gods sake

[planeops123]

Cornish Boy, Cornish Bread, Strong in the Arm, Thick in the Head, That be Us

[planeops123]

The other counties just damn well forgets about us in cornwall!

[xxmerrynxx]

And they make us Cornish pay to get out (cross the bridge) but dont make others pay to come in D:

[planeops123]

@xxmerrynxx tell me about it £1.50 too much

[planeops123]

@xxmerrynxx one more thing is that we do desurve our independance because we make britan ritch with x amount of million of tons of metal that we us cornish worked our socks of and what do we get. we have to pay £1.50 to get in to the trater land!

[ColFeren]

this is true, I am pro-Cornish parliament, but it's British, just like Scotland, but Trident is good, as is devotional, having no money, no healthcare, and begin lied to is not.

But I want one of those shirts.

[PaulTransitionNC]

Kernow can look after itself economically. It can produce all of its own food and it can produce more renewable energy than it needs. Food, energy and tourism exports will pay for everything else. Another thing, it will have no major banks to drag it down the coming financial collapse.

[kvn1201]

@PaulTransitionNC I agree with what you said. We could be independent!! And I wish we could be! Sad fact is though it will never happen. Not in our life time anyway! We rely to much on modern technology. Most of which comes from and is managed in Countrys/places we have never been. The sooner people can live without those things the sooner we can shut ourselfs off from the rest of England!

[ShRiNkInGMuShRoOmS]

Reunite Ireland, Free Scotland, Free Wales, Free Cornwall and Free England. This union is way past it's sell by date and we need to get our voices heard. It's not about patriotism, it's about common sense and a right to decide our own future. Alba gu brath!

[angofbew]

Ringmaster22, you don't know shit. Before you post crap at least do some research. Kernow Bys Vyken.

[Rigmaster22]

Cornwall is not, and never has been, a country - it is merely a County of England.

[groinhat]

It's not about breaking anything up, it's about giving England independence. 50m folk without their own state or government. Free them!

[MerchantofTarshish]

Why is an american song being used here and not a cornish tune?

[GymmFFreak89]

, Cornwall , even liverpool! Fuk off if you dont wanna be a part of the UK.. just go!! foreigners , You'l be begging us back when a MIGHTY nation like Luxembourge rolls over your little pointless square mile '' country '' lmfao.. Cluess braindead twats

[JordoF6]

@GymmFFreak89 Okay firsly i am assumming your english? right then you do not understand what it is like to be part of a ancient race of people that being the celts your strive for indepenence and freedom for your people most of the british parliment are all english twats who want britain to be completly anglo.

[GymmFFreak89]

@JordoF6 You have your heads in the clouds, How the fuck can CORNWALL!!! survive as a country lmfao, Cornwall is one of the poorest parts of the UK! Basically, you lot are jumping in the '' Braveheart style '' Freedommmmm wagon.. the only contribution to the UK economy cornwall gives is the fukin money you get from the eden proect ! that will fuel a nation right? . unblievable !

[JordoF6]

@GymmFFreak89 Money aside,ireland used to be one of the poorest countries in europe and then suprassed englands money per city in the 1990's -2008,cornwall while small only cares about indepenence fuck money! i dont give a fuck about it world would be better of without it!.

[GymmFFreak89]

@JordoF6 A country SURVIVES of money mate!!!

[pikemancolley]

@JordoF6 cornwall was is and will always be england, phil vickery told me

[JordoF6]

@pikemancolley Cornwall is inhabited by celtic britions its celtic.England originaly belonged to the celts before the saxons came and drove the native celtic britons into wales and cornwall.

[cornubian]

Again sorry to disappoint any anglo-imperialists out there but:-

The oldes border in Britain is not the border between Wales and England nor is it the border between England and Scotland.

Yes the suppressed truth is that the the oldest border on this island by a very long way is the Tamar line marking the ancient border between Cornwall and England. It was set in 935AD by King Athelstan of Wessex to mark the border of Wessex and Kernow/Cornwall. Read the history books...

[LadyPerlOfMoonlight]

Cornwall a Country? Sorry no but I draw the line there next Fife wants to a Kingdom again...Corwall join the growing nation of Wessex well before England become the nation it is now. Sorry but NO! Scottish independence yes. Welsh independence sure if they want it and same for England and N.Ireland but Cornwall?!

[cornubian]

Kernow existed thousands of years before England even came into existence. This fact is repeated in the Bruts of Wace and Layamon (for those who are interested in doing their own research rather than just accepting propaganda). In fact the truth is that the Cornu-British (our true ethnic identity as defined by the Federation of Old Cornwall Societies) were the first identified sub-race of the ancient Brythons and existed even before Cymru and Alba (sorry to say)

[cornubian]

Kernowek a vedha kowsys yn Kernow ha Syllan a-hes, keffres ha radn Densher a’n West ha Keresk, saw woja Kas Goon Hingston yn 936, My’tern Athelstan a’n Sowson a worras an Kernowyon ’mes a Keresk ha deklarya gladn est Dowr Tamar dhe vos or y wlaskor – ha ma’n or na hwath ena yn jedh hedhyw, heb dowt an dra!

Kernow kensa!

Cornwall rests its case....

[jupes70]

as a Englishman from Bucks I'd be more than happy for Cornwall along with Scotland Ni,Wales and anyone else to be given independence.If London and the home counties were a nation it would be the 6th wealtiest economy in Europe.On our own there would be no need to to subsidise the rest of the nation as we do now,no need to pay for there prescriptions,or pay to revive there long dead languages ,

[MrJondabong]

The engish allways sticking theyre oar in ...if you dont like cornwall or any of the other celtic nations ,what are you doing here .

[Pro13east]

cornwall shd recognised as a country as to the likes of scotland

cornwall has its own language traditions culture heritage FLAG st pirans day tartan kilt and more how is any of those similar to england because cornwall is diffrent as it always has bein FREEDOM

[whitbyjet65]

@Pro13east And how many Cornish people actually speak Kernewek? Depending on who you believe, it's between 300 & 2000. Hardly a revolution! And what is this culture that is different to the rest of the country? Tell me what you do that's so different. Every region has it's own customs, that doesn't make them a seperate nation.

[Pro13east]

@whitbyjet65 not many believe 500 ish because its not being properly taught being hidden from us by England

Cornwall was a nation once before and should be again England has no right to control

whats so different apart from the celtic history being around several hundred years BEFORE England

and the fact that we have our own kilt

[whitbyjet65]

@Pro13east Grow up! Before England, Scotland & Wales, these islands were tribal. Are wel going to go back to Norfolk being the iceni tribe & the Cenimagni in the south? How many Cornish people actually have a pure Cornish bloodline? NONE! Look in a Cornish phone book. You'll see anglo-saxon surnames, Norman surnames etc. England doesn't control Cornwall, Cornwall contributes & receives just like all the other counties. By the way, are you aware that Celts were immigrants to these shores?

[whitbyjet65]

@Pro13east If you claim Cornwall should be given back to the Celts, I'd demand the celts were driven out of Cornwall and sent back to where they originated (Eastern Europe). Of course, it wasn't called Europe then because things change. You wont like that either will you? If we use your logic there'd be no Italy, No Germany, no France, no Spain. We'd all go back to being nomadic tribes.

[theljd90]

oh and also my last names dawe which is cornish NOT ENGLISH i tell people my heritage is 100% celtic because it is

[JohnPurchaseArt]

@theljd90

Celtic isn't the native language of Britain and the earliest settlers weren't cleansed by Germanic tribes,That is victorian historical belief which has been disproven by modern DNA research..Google stephen oppenheimer.

[NorthernerMatty123]

@JohnPurchaseArt English people are Anglo-Saxon mainly along with some Norman and Viking proven by a London University which was conducted over the expanse of the British Isles XD anyone who paid attention in school should no this as it is historically well documented.

[theljd90]

everyone in the south wales valleys never refers to cornwall as england so not all of britain ignores you. cornwall is great if i could live anywere else it would be there

[ejr161]

@clehane12 What I was explaining is that I'm against the idea of one united republic with no separate nations. By Ireland I was referring to NI and the republican movement i.e. essentially the troubles would start again if someone tried to turn britain into a faceless republic. As for 'hating the fucking English', aye, funny that, isn't it, that's it's actually only the English now who don't show outward animosity to the other nations in the isles... essentially you're the problem.

[barnbersonol]

Celtic cornwall what a joke. Cornish hasn't been the majority language since Tudor times. Regional assembly, OK you want even more parasite MPs with their expense accounts etc, YOU pay for it. Gerreal, it's not gonna happen. We only got it in Wales cause the referundum came when we were still in love with Blair even then only by hair breadth

[Rigmaster22]

Cornwall is a County in England. Fact. End of!

[avonbeg]

@Rigmaster22 I very much doubt that :)

[MrDarudin]

@Rigmaster22 You could at least give them their own flag plus maybe some trinket other counties don't have like maybe an optional GCSE in Cornish or something . It wouldn't be to our financial detrement and give a few loonys piece of mind :D

[LordHannigan]

@Rigmaster22 What do the people that live in Cornwall say there opinion on the subject is far more important than yours or mine. From America and yes I am of Irish decent. So before you go calling me a plastic paddy. Know that if you have a problem than that problem is yours.

[tigermoth111]

free kernow

[TheDrummerboi94]

Your Kentish Brothers support you we fough with you against the Roman's, Saxons and Normans, Kernoic and Kentic Tribes from the Brittanni race. Celts Unite.

[HellenicCharge]

cornwall is a joke.

[jed371]

this is getting ridiculous, next there will be a yorkshire independence movement

[m1trekker]

@jed371 The Yorkshire passport would have a white rose in the middle surrounded by: a lump of coal, rhubarb, a bloke in a flat cap and a ferret. The Cornish passport would have a pasty in the middle surrounded by: a bottle of scrumpy, a pirate (that looked like Rory McGrath), Goonhilly and Wycliffe. The Welsh passport would just have a picture of a bloke strategically positioned behind a surprised sheep.

[denholm10]

EVERYONE THAT BELIEVES IN INDEPENDENCE IN CORNWALL ARE RETARDS!!!! ITS IMPOSSIBLE YA SILLY BASTARDS :L THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE

[denholm10]

if u mention to a so called cornish person and say they're english they have a spaz attack and say i'm cornish. or i'm more scottish than english, a take it its something to do with celtic.. not celtic football club to all you dimwitted pricks but keltick!! if that makes it easier to understand

[Malusregnum]

"Free Cornwall", Tell us HOW it would be achieved. I'm sorry, but why the hell do you have to say all this propaganda shit without explaining what the hell it is. For once, why can't any of you people make an independence vid about FACTS rather than this bullshit propaganda.

[denholm10]

@Malusregnum its impossible to free cornwall :L

[simonstallion]

@Malusregnum -you have the same speech that the French towards us: "Think you can take your survival if Brittany becomes independent?" the answer is yes of course that Brittany was once prosperous country coveted by France contemptuous, and it is perfect for Cornwall.

[Malusregnum]

@simonstallion Part 1) That's not what i mean't by how, I literally mean HOW it can be achieved. Your going to get Cornish people watching this video and their going to go "OH YEAH, CORNISH INDEPENDENCE ALL THE WAY!.......now what?" No information on who to vote for, No information on what would change for Cornwall, No information on the details of a new government, Nothing.

[Malusregnum]

@simonstallion Part 2) I'm not against the idea, I'm just against bullshit video's that just scream for independence which can mislead people from the facts of what steps to independence will take and what will mostly likely happen if Cornwall is totally independent. People need the whole truth,

[Malusregnum]

@simonstallion Part 3) This video looks only at one side, Cornish people need to look at the otherside, like will Cornish independece truly benefit Cornwall more than Cornwall in the UK. Cornish people need the whole story before they can truly decided whether independece is what they want or not. This video is just propaganda.

[simonstallion]

@Malusregnum

propaganda, all schemes: minority or majority uses this means of communication . If the United Kingdom recognizes minority languages​in their legislation, this is not the case in all European countries.

[Malusregnum]

@simonstallion I know all schemes use it, But that doesn;t make it right, IT IS WRONG. People should be given the truth, the whole picture. I don't care if it is used wildly, Doesn't mean it's right. "If the United Kingdom recognizes minority languages​in their legislation, this is not the case in all European countries." I don't understand what this has to do with the discussion at hand. I don't understand why your arguing with my comments, People shouldn't be blinded, they should get the facts

[MrKingbayliss]

@Malusregnum I totally agree with you my friend, their are good examples of small nations rising and gaining crown dependence or devolution. eg wales the welsh language was dying nearly died. But they rose back up. Also the idea that the ECJ has recognized Cornwall and Cornish as a an area and language as protected is good.

[MrKingbayliss]

@Malusregnum continued Even Cornwall Council does not believe are a county can only our cause. We need to though i eel promote Cornish history and make it stand away from England and Promote our Politics a) we still have a Charter of pardon from Westminster/ crown b) We are a duchy by court act in 1974 therefore meaning our status is ambiguous so country for me c)

[MrKingbayliss]

@Malusregnum the stannary was never dissolved d) cornwall has never formally been formally brought into union with the UK unlike Scotland Wales and NI in 1707 and 1801were forced into county status i feel illegally in 1974. It made Cornwall a county and the facts above prove my point i feel. People should read the facts CORNWALL is and should be a county and any peron suggesting county should read the law and history books essentially that guy who commented the facts speak. soz for three pints

[MrKingbayliss]

@MrKingbayliss spelling misake cornwall should be a country

[Malusregnum]

@MrKingbayliss Fair play, But i'm just saying that pointless videos like this are not good in anyway. No facts about what will most likely happen if Cornwall got it's independence. It's all good giving all the reasons why Cornwall should be independent. But they should come hand in hand with facts about how that will affect Cornish lives, What the benefits and disadvantages are. Then the majority will be able to make a judgement knowing the full picture rather than just the one sided view.

[Malusregnum]

I don't mind Cornwall getting its independence. If that is the will of the people then it should be done. What I don't bloody like is all this Propaganda shit that's thrown at us. If your going to make a vid about Cornish independence. Then why don't you go the whole fucking way and explain how this could be done and what would be done to sustain the country. "Break up Britain" WHY, Explain it for gods sake, tell us why and how it would benefit Cornwall.

[32wallace]

You spelt county wrong in the intro...

[TomBarry192I]

Long live Cornwall, support from Ireland.

[SpiritBearTotem]

actually i think the only way cornwall wales ni scotland will ever be free is if ire joins gb they change the name celtland(or some such thing), drag the parliment of both countries into the street and execute them, and ban all immeadiate family members from government forever. then take the royal monarchies of both countries and and burn them at the stake( and any one who tries to claim royal sovreign power) then set up a democratic repulic with each rgion a state( state of wales, alb etc.etc

[HellenicCharge]

hahahahahhaha i mean most celtic subnationalism is pathetic and for-the-sake-of-it-nothing-bet­ter-to-do-but-moan-blahblahbla­h, but this is comical. What next? Independence for Yorkshire, please ¬¬ If you people had your way the world would be chaos a bunch of city states fighting each other, you fail to see the bigger picture you fail to see beyond your very narrow vision.

Britian, for britain! Fuck the sub nations!! Just call it Britian N, S, E, W, make it a republic. Done. Simple, strong.

[chrisjoneschrisjones]

@HellenicCharge ye we're all just europeans really,fuck the nationalistic idea of britain=its so narrow minded,lets see the bigger picture and just call ourselves european=fuck the sub nations.Done .Simple.Strong

[HellenicCharge]

@chrisjoneschrisjones thier is no european supra culture or language or notion of nationality or comon ties strong enough to forge a singular nation. I knoe the EU is trying but i dont thiunk that will work unless hte common people lose there rights and political voice and the leaders become dictators under some wacky brussels high council or something! But that tends to be the views o the crazest of the euro-sceptics :P

[chrisjoneschrisjones]

@HellenicCharge yu obviously didnt get the point i was making thicko,u tried to assume that everyone in britain is the same and share common identitys and i tried to show u that if i would try to include u in the european picture in the same way u would be annoyed.and youve proved my point..there is no british supra culture or language or notion of nationality either =get it?? we are three different nations on the island of britain,4 if u count cornwall

[ejr161]

@HellenicCharge fuck the sub nations?? ok, regardless of cornwall's actual argument and the weight behind any independence bid, if you tried to bring everyone in the UK under a republic and make them simply British, cornwall would be the least of your worries. The welsh would kick up a stink, the Scottish would go MENTAL, ireland would go insane again and a lot of the English would be pissed too. We'd have civil war within a week.

[1DannyOAFC1]

Soft Southern Bastards! If they get independance then I say the North of England should get independance!

[SolitudeNaSkellig]

To people that say small nations cannot survive economically,look at Luxembourg,Andorra,San Marino,even the Vatican is an independent city-state,Malta,Liectenstein,­Barbados,Maldives,Monaco,even Kosovo.So hypothetically speaking with the good managment and governance a free Cornwall would be viably self-sufficient economically.

[mrmagicroundcircle]

Cornishmen finest fishermen in the world from an Irishman

[12Aggiefan]

As an Englishman I see no difference between me and a Cornish person not in race, ethnicity, religion or culture. Cornish people might have some distinct qualites but they are just an offshoot of the English. They are no different then the English people living in the West Country. They are Far West Country English.

[avonbeg]

@12Aggiefan As an english man you would not see the difference between england and Cornwall, but to the Cornish there is a hell of a difference go across the Tamar 10 minutes in to england and you know your in a different country,and the Cornish are not an offshoot of the english we were here long before the english came from the saxon lands.Here in Cornwall there is a growing sense of wanting independence we are not the west country english we are Cornish.

[RCXDominator]

@avonbeg you are basically english. thats what over a thousand years of mixing does to an area

[JohnPurchaseArt]

@avonbeg

Celtic isn't the native language of Britain and the earliest settlers weren't cleansed by Germanic tribes,That is victorian history which have been disproven by modern DNA research..Google stephen oppenheimer.

[whitbyjet65]

@avonbeg Oh so EVERYONE in Cornwall has a surname of Celtic origin do they? There's no one in Cornwall called Smith, Briggs, Weller, Clough (Anglo-Saxon origin), Cooper, Mason, Shepherd (Norman) etc. And if you DO gain independence, what are you going to do, cut off our supply of pasties?

[mastercheff1216]

Do be serious Cornwall is one of the most derived counties in England if it was to become independent it would be doomed, it needs the rest of England economic infrastructure to keep it going.

[theatlanticpirates]

Free Cornwall!

[RustyTBone69]

The Conch Republic should be free of The US and Florida.  Come to Key West and celebrate its Independence as a new nation !

[kevin45271]

Great vid mate! To say to other people who have commented, Ireland and Iceland have been seriously mismanaged by power hungry GREEDY people. The E.U is undemocratic the people of France/Belgium and Ireland have rejected the E.U Constitution/Lisbon treaty but the elite in Brussells chose not to listen to the will of the people. Ireland 1 Country. Scrap the act of union, and out of the E.U

[rothschad]

@athiestsshallburn So then should we give Mercia independence? Or what about Anglia?? Sorry to break it to ya mate but there is about as much celt in cornwall as there is left in France. Its gone, a long long time ago.

And small countries have something to offer. There is only so much GDP you can get out of pasties. You really have not thought this through have you?

[rothschad]

Cornish indepenence!! Lol i just learned of this today and it has to be the funniest thing i have heard this year. I might try and claim a little bit of independence in my part of England. Viva the republic of Sussex. Come on guys you really need to grow up a bit and stop dreaming. Your not even celts. You were never a country and never will be.

[Malusregnum]

good luck cornwall, although i don't see how you are gonna sustain yourself when alot of your food, money and resources are from England, Scotland, Wlaes and northern ireland

[darkmachete]

I think Cornwall should be separated from England but not Britain. I'm American (With Cornish heritage and duel citizenship to Britain), but lets be honest... Cornwall would never be able to survive if it weren't a part of Britain. It'd simply be too small of a country if it weren't a part of Britain. Cornwall was there before the anglo-saxons came over. It does have it's rights, and Cornish people should be freed. Rydhys rag Kernow lemmyn! Kernow bys vyken!

[Urdalibertine]

Cornwall has been independent on and off including during the English civil war.

The fact that England never fully annexed it says a hell of a lot about the Cornish compared to just about anyone else.

Let anyone misunderstand me,I am all for an English Parliament along the line of a Scottish Parliament.There should be an English independence party before anything else.

[MrOutrage69]

no it isnt

[kanenkitten]

2:06

All countries prefer it? I don't think so! What about Gibraltar or the rest of the British overseas territories?

[kanenkitten]

What, Cornwall people want independence?

Their eyes are bigger than their heads. even if they did get independence they wouldn't know what to do with it and I don't think they'd have the financial or tourist attracting capabilities to survive.

[celticcornish]

Independence is not a desire for Cornish people, it's an historical right which remains intact to this day. If people care to research they can find MANY reasons why Kernow retains its RIGHT to independence. Desire is one thing, LEGAL RIGHT is another, and is not based on your approval or anybody else's. If you doubt Cornwall's legal rights, research it for yourself. It's NOTHING to do with 'wouldn't know what to do with it' or tourism, I say again, it's a LEGAL RIGHT.

[kanenkitten]

Yes, you have to think in reality, you wouldn't really be able to survive as a separate nation as you wouldn't really have the financial capacity to do so.

[celticcornish]

Inconsequential. Your comparison is like one to a slave whose master tells him that he has never been so well off since although he has a chain around his ankle, he is free to have a roof over his head and food on his plate. Survival in subservience is not a fair trade for justice, freedom and the search for one's own future. Kernow does not seek your approval or anyone else's. It retains RIGHTS, and the only issue is the restoration of justice and the recognition of those rights.

[cyrustic]

I live in Sussex but my family name orginates in Cornwall over 900 hundred years ago...seriously and I could prove it. How many seperatists can say the same I wonder?

I Think this should qaulify me more than most to have a say in the matter and I say its bollocks...Celtic nation shite...the only true celtic nation worth counting was east anglian..thats right ESSEX,SUFFOLK AND NORFOLK. They stood up to the Romans with Bodicca!

[jwmatthews27]

I agree.. most Cornish these days are from elsewhere.. often from London and the Home Counties. Most Cornish moved out ages ago

[simonstallion]

you have the support of a brother of Brittany

[Chardy210]

Look I'm actually Cornish and I think cornish independence is stupid idea im proud to be english

[celticcornish]

Independence is not an 'idea', it's a RIGHT for Kernow. You don't have to like it or agree with it. The issue doesn't seek your approval if you are happy with an alternative identity. The process to Cornish independence does not take anything away from your right and pride to be English if that is what you choose.

[hgfhgfhtht]

nice idea

[withteeth1989]

no it isn't, cornwall is pretty but, thats it. it would make a seriously crap independent country

your income comes from tourism, and related industries

do you really think that independence would benefit cornwall?

if so please tell me how.

i'm actually interested

[newlynboy]

I would guess we would still get a lot of money from tourism. We could stop all of our money going to the Duchy. I would guess the much hated EEC would be a big help, what has Ireland got? Also we would not be wasting all of our money by letting the British government spend it. Would it be enough? I don't know

[withteeth1989]

ireland is seriously in the shit at the moment, as are lots of "small" european nations.

i can only imagine that if cornwall did get indepence (which they won't, because it is crap) then the cititizens of the newly independent cornwall would be begging to join the union again.

besides, cornwall has not been a nation state, well ever.

furthermore, most people in cornwall want to belong to the uk.

where would your captial be? truro?

get a grip guys, you are dreaming! delusional morons!

[freescotlandnow]

Since your argument is based on hatred and negativity I doubt it actually carries much weight. In every country, including Scotland and Wales, Britain claims that we are all incapable of independence, yet their are numerous small rich countries out there. I reckon Cornwall can do better as do a rising amount of people who back Mebyon Kernow.

[withteeth1989]

i do not hate cornwall. the pasties are great, oh and the fish is pretty good too; did i forget anythng?

[celticcornish]

Enjoy the superficial flavours of your life, just try not to have any regret at the end of it.

[withteeth1989]

now scotland would be better off independent. it has industry, oil, deep fried mars bars.

but cornwall;

seriously mate,

listen to yourself!

[mangebag1]

@withteeth1989 its not in the shit as much as britain is,Ireland has returned to growth. fuck england free Cornwall!

[jupes70]

@newlynboy you would not have to worry about the EU as you would not be a member ,UK is So if you are not in the UK you would have to apply for membership.I don't have figures but my guess is most of the tourists to your land came from the rest of the UK,so banging on about how we oppress you and how much you all hate the English (as plenty on here have)is hardley going to have tourists flocking to Cornwall .What are you going to export to the rest of the nation.that we we can't get cheaper ?

[dartmoordog]

I wish, for the sake of my sanity, that Cornwall had its independence from England. Then we could demolish those awful bloody electricity pylons that blight Devon, which is in England. Stop all those awful English tourists from pouring millions of pounds into Cornwall and let the Cornish get on with it. Cornish independence...Yes please!

[adamjones416]

Annibyniaeth i'r gwledydd Celtaidd i GYD

Independece to ALL the Celtic Nations

[tegsmonks]

lol

[EnglandWatcher]

this video is funny it says britain wont lision to cornwall the funny thing is that its not Britain you will find that its England and that cornwall is part of it the same as the rest of the countys of england and i must say that this video is one of the most pathic things ive ever see scotland you want your indepence fine just STOP CUTTING ENGLAND UP INTO 9 REGIONS

[freescotlandnow]

Cornwall is a country. It has its own independence party Mebyon Kernow and its own language. You can ignore it but you can't make it go away and it's not part of England any more than Wales is. The British parliament passed a bill in 1746 claiming both Berwick and Wales as part of ENGLAND. Neither of which was true.

[EnglandWatcher]

you are a little boy find that im going to tell you my scottish friend the reason i know its part of England is because i was born there you twat

[freescotlandnow]

The fact remains that Cornwall was a historic country before being annexed to the English state. As such, it has a right to self determination if it chooses to exercise it. Britain currently ignores the success of Mebyon Kernow but it always ignored Plaid Cymru and the SNP as well until they became too big to be ignored.

[ConCon75]

Its funny that people who support an independent Kernow would also support the country of N.Ireland being annexed by the republic....

Northern Ireland is not a country.

[IamDaReAlSeaN]

northern ireland is a part of ireland that was cruelly ripped away from us and settled by sell-out ''scots'' who worship a saggy old woman.

@ConCon75 Are you being stupid on purpose or is it just you? Northern Ireland is a gerrymandered, illegal state that was created in 1921 against the will of the Irish people. To suggest that in some way Ireland would be stealing N.Ireland from Britian in a united Ireland is ridiculous.

BTW great respect for Mebyon Kernow and the people of Cornwall from Ireland!

[NationalistProd]

@ConCon75 Ireland should never have been split in the first place.

[catholicrik]

Below- Aye I'm sure we will !!!

[Th3BritishGuy]

I guess you'll be wanting your own Police force, government and health service now?

[freescotlandnow]

Why not? It would be better use of Cornwall's money than funding Prince Charles!

[Th3BritishGuy]

true true

[catholicrik]

Exalint video!! FREE CORNWALL!!! Can any one tell me where I can finde that map of Europe in this video? =)

[e5acf4]

Don't back down!!! :o)

[RedPawl]

All the Celtic Nations must be free from the Anglo yoke. Free and unite Eire, then Scotland, Wales, Cornwall.

[jarbilbo]

Free Cornwall, Wales,Ireland,Scotland, Basque Country and the others peoples of the world.

Greetings from Bilbao.

[ConCon75]

Ireland is two states not one...

one is free the other willl be soon :)

[TartanCheeks]

Cornwall is such a beautiful place with lovely people their history should be known!

They are an artistic nation and their Celtic Roots can easily be seen through their art from ancient times to the present day.

Claim your Country & your Freedom!

Cheers for the video, great choice of music!

[grumpyoldbug]

Like all Celts in the British Isles, they are not indigenous but invaders. So are you talking about the cornish, or the celts who live in cornwall. two very different beasts!

[veiocharrua]

Free Cornwall!!!!

Independence is the strugle of XXI century, hundreds of nations fighting for the same reason: Self-determination!

There is no other sollution. My best wishes of succes, you have the right to be free..

regards from Rio Grande do Sul

[codeaires]

Damn straight. I agree with this 100%. The sad part is that Cornish people are such an extreme minority that it's hard for them to get their voices heard.

And good use of Tom Petty too.

[TexanTillIDie1]

Great vid!

¡Libertad para todo!

[methenium]

Exactly.

[RadicalWhig]

Britain needs to break-up. It has become ossified and incapable of the political and socio-economic reforms necessary to become a free country. An independent Scotland, Wales, and Cornwall, would have a better chance. They would bring politics closer to the people.

We can no longer afford the Union. Freedom is the only sensible choice.

[IamDaReAlSeaN]

don't forget about us irish reuniting with our own countrymen. once you lads get independence then loyalists can choose to finally accept their own countrymen or go to england if they want a queen to worship. we should form a pan-celtic league of nations modelled like the nordic council so instead of ruling eachother, we help eachother out. our cultures are disappearing at the hands of corrupt politics, greed and aristocracy. United Ireland, Free Cornwall, Wales, Scotland, Basque and Brittany.

[Elevationary]

Yeah and maybe fix the Immigration problem........

[ConCon75]

You arent my countryman, unless you live in the north then you are my countryman.

Northern Ireland is a country in its own right, one that needs to stop pretending its british and work more closley with the other countries of these isles.

[freescotlandnow]

I'm sorry but the designation Northern Ireland reflects the reality. Southern Scotland is still part of Scotland. You are part of Ireland. Ireland is the country. Obviously at the moment NI is also part of the British state because historically Britain militarily forced Eire to relinquish it. When the British state ends however NI will need to decide its own future but it is not a country in its own right and it never has been.

[CenturyGamer]

I'm sorry to say bud, but Ulster is, and always has, been part of ireland, it is a province of ireland and should always remain that way.
