What makes me laugh is that the only history taught when I went to school in Penzance was about the English.
We had one teacher at St. pauls that luckily taught us Cornish songs and some history.
My family are from all over West Penwith and were all miners who worked in Levant and seen the last days of Geevor. I know loads of Cornish words and expressions that I was thinking of up loading to you tube, as there are fewer people who use them now.
A made up language, as somebody quoted from London.
The time is coming England, Scotland and Wales have seen sense and so have the Cornish, people who fly the English flag in Cornwall are attacked, and no one seems to care, that shows that the Cornish people truly desire to be in charge of their own destiny and they WILL!
I am from Cornwall but not a nationalist BUT there is plenty of evidence for the bagpipes and kilts from the bench ends at Altarnum Church on Bodmin Moor where carvings 500 years old or more depict both. Sorry ! The Nats have it there.
They have back pipes? When did you invent that then, is it recent ? along I guess with the tartan!! Why have you included the golden hind recreation from Brixham in the first few shots of this, that's not ''Cornish''!! Pasties, declining fishing, and empty mines don't make a nation! A growing number of English want out of the Union (likewise the nationalist Scots) so this will leave you stuck in a creek without a paddle wont it!!
The boat is not the Golden Hind. Its a replica galleon called Matthew.
What does make Cornwall a Nation is the constitutional arrangement between England and Cornwall that allows the Duke to take £16 million income from the Cornish Nation. If Cornwall was in England the Duke would be acting illegally.
As for the Union, Cornwall has never been part of that either, unless you can produce official documentation to suggest otherwise.
That leaves you're argument with bagpipes and tartan, wow.
@andytayloruk - The ancient playing of the Cornish bagpipes is recorded on the carving of the historic benchends to be found at a Cornish church close to Bodmin (dated to circa 1215AD at Altarnun - 'Celtic Saints Passionate Wanderers' by E.Rees page 150).
I am sorry to disappoint you but the time has now come for you to respect Kernow.

That's rather interesting. I AM a nat and I didn't know that. It thought we'd borrowed it off the Scottish in the late 1700's.
