I visited Cornwall once. It was very sunny and warm. The people are very nice. At night they chant invocations to the moon and summon the spirits of darkness. They like to hold orgies which anyone is free to participate in. No-one works and they all laze about during the day drinking beer. At the summer solstice they build a wickerman in which they burn an innocent tourist. Cornwall is a lovely place which I plan to visit often.
@rhialobran I laughed, what you going to do? Morris dance around me? Saying that I would shit it if a bunch of bell boys started prancing around me...
@cannissolis while us welsh were totally ignored. I despise the union and I despice the monarchy constitution both in their current form....if you think they are in anyway perfectly democratic I beg to differ ;), empires have a lot to answer for, at least you cant say I am not honest with you. The universe offers much more potential than a stayed old 1707 union created by a what is basically a foreign elite to me. ry'n ni yma o hyd
@3tangle3, Hi, no definitely not perfect, aren't the monarchy part of the 1% or at least the 10%, its not democracy that is really the the problem though it is this extreme form of capitalism that allows the huge divide, and subverts the democratic process by putting the balance of power with the money. years ago if you earned too much you paid 19s 6d in the pound out as tax over a certain amount earned, now everybody else pays it and the rich get richer and more powerful.
@3tangle3 for some reason your comment has been flagged as spam and only shows up for me when "show all comments" is clicked. At least people know where to view it now, that was a bit unfair I thought, everyone is entitled to their opinion, (even if it is misguided :o)
@cannissolis how can it be misguided.....in a million years time we could be talking about unionism between two galaxies....the UK is meaningless just as is humanity
@3tangle3 Ah, philosophy, well whilst what you have said may be technically correct as a hypothesis in a metaphysical debate concerning the machinations in a possible iteration of some distant future, that doesn't really reduce or otherwise change the nature of people's current perception of the here and now, although it does highlight the meaninglessness of the oft repeated statement that the "English" did some dreadful thing to the "(insert British minority of choice)" in the modern idiom!
Bah! this has turned into a history lesson, pointless if one has already made up one's mind to be separatist. the place to fix the problems are the greedy super wealthy not arbitrary lines on a map over racial differences that don't exist any more.
@gmsm520 Oh! the "english hired mercenaries" I didn't, and to the best of my Knowledge nor did my direct ancestors nor did the majority of English people! so be careful before making such sweeping statements. A very small number of people that hold power (money) do these things and mercenaries can be hired anywhere, remember 1% of people hold 50% of the wealth (power) 10% hold 90% this is where your hate should be directed else they divide and conquer and win.
@gmsm520 The English did? As I said before, I didn't nor did my direct ancestors nor did most ordinary working English folk. I am probably related to you if we go back a few generations anyway. If you read back over my comments you will see what I am getting at.
@cannissolis one slight problem is many english understandably have been brainwashed by the elite rulers to believe they are the elite..........a.ka. norman/saxon....when I am a geneticist and english have v similar genetics to cornish and welsh..........its all mad as we all human...just cultural mindset i suppose
I get so fed up with all the stupid comments about free our stupid little bit of land from the terrible English, you mean free from the rich rulers! the majority of English folk are no better off than most Cornish, Irish, Welsh, Scottish etc etc folk, and are just as controlled and ruled over get your hatred in the right direction, it is not the ordinary working folk that have ever been the problem for any of you its the 2% that own the 50% no matter what their nationality that are the problem.
@cannissolis most moderate nationalists agree with you....in fact we dont like the word nationalist as its tainted...we like to look to the future and inclusiveness......I would like a welsh republic....but I want rlly good contacts with the rest of britain and the world..........space both inner and outer is the final frontier :)
It would be good to have a pint with you.........cos why cant the cornish has its effective stannary parliament back without descending to petty slanging matches lol
@3tangle3 Yes I'll have a pint any time if your buying the first one :o) I don't get down to Kernow much now tho'
Up until the recent influx of people It used to be said that everybody in Britain was related to everybody else if one went back 5 generations. One big (un)happy family
@cannissolis well i wouldnt say that 5 generation rule applies to everyone as some of the welsh speakers who use to be monoglot up in the welsh hills were very isolated for a good 500 even1000 years as some refused to marry english speakers-rare ofc...dont get me wrong they are related at time scales further back then this of course as DNA studies show little doubt, but its the state that needs a reset not the people :P in my opinion..the state is a product of the undemocratic history sadly :(
yes but even amongst these isolated communities people left and married outside thereby completing the link, and the 5 generations was a rule of thumb, that covered the majority of the UK
@3tangle3 You're absolutely correct bud.. and that was partly my point if you look at what I have said about sweeping generalizations regarding the "evil English" which apparently they are according to many of the comments, you will see my point is that it is a few incredibly wealthy people that initiate the conflicts and like to keep the ordinary people (90%) divided and in there own little group, if we all got along the obscenely rich would not be allowed to be.
@cannissolis I pay little attention to generalisations although ppl will always group others as its easier in life...however ofc devil is in the detail
@3tangle3 Hi, not sure of the point you are trying to make? we seem to largely agree? I was pointing out error of generalizing to the people who continually blame the "English" for all their hardships and woes by communicating that the "English" are just ordinary working folk with no anti-Cornish;Welsh etc agenda, that work to feed their families and don't foment plots to take others land/home/living. It is a rich minority that do that and sit back secure due to infighting of an island race.
@cannissolis anyone with a brain knows that ppl living in england arent to blame :D :P ....but I have met many english ppl with anti celtic views....so the irrational hate goes both ways.....i just want a total reset of the hanoverian union at the end of the day.....to a more democratic connection between the ppl on these islands and the world...one can dream
@3tangle3 Yes as I agree that irrational pride in ones area of Britain is rife and keeps the populace infighting instead of aiming anger at the 1%, but a total reset of the Hanoverian union!, come on that is the very twaddle that keeps us infighting, in the early 1700s both Scotland and England benefited greatly from that act.Scotland gained a secure market for it's cattle and linen Scottish ports benefited from sugar and tobacco trade Scots were employed abroad with the East India Co.
@cannissolis well on that note have the english people ever been discriminated against, had there language outlawed and there culture crushed, have the english ever had soldiers march into there land and rape and pillage their people? cornwall was never annexed it has a right to its own parliment and no english officer can set foot within without express permission from the cornish goverment. and when cornwall brought up there rights the english marched to the bridge and slaghtered 4000 fighters
@gmsm520 OK! but just what exactly is an Anglo Saxon as opposed to a native Brit? My Surname is one of the very few Anglo Saxon names that survived the Norman conquest, but I am still in all likelihood related, if I go back 5 or so generations, to 90% of the people commenting on this site and to your native Britons, By which I assume you mean Celts? but the Picts predated them. So I have to assume you are choosing the bits of history that fit in with your particular bit of racism?
