The main problem Britain faces today is islam and multicultural genocide. Now is not the time for a small minded cornish nationalist campaign; native britons need to be united more then ever
-
I love how everyone wants to be different from one another. I know, let's start an independence movement for Yorkshire, next. Maybe they'll find a Celtic bed pan somewhere in Wakefield, and we can all chant about independence and hatred of the English.
-
A NATION ONCE AGAIN, an unofficial anthem of ALL Ireland, would be a lovely anthem for Cornwall. And if Cornwall doesn't use it, Cumbria should! A nation once again, a nation once again, and Cornwall/Cumbria long a colony IS A NATION ONCE AGAIN. Dunno where the song originated but it is a lovely tune.
-
Why can't Cumbria introduce,say, Latin or Esperanto as a native lingo? To be a doctor or a nurse, you need Latin, I think. Let all the medical students from the rest of the Anglo-Celt Isles travel to Cumbria Nation/State/Colony/Republic/P
rincip-ality to study Latin. Oh, go on, go on, go on! aND IF cUMBRIA DOESN'T DO IT, Brittany or Cornwall should. Hey, I am being serious! In the meantime, JUST KEEP USING THE INTERNET TO SELL YOUR NATIONALISM TO THE REST OF THE WORLD. PLEASE.

Cornwall is sometimes called a dutchy,county, shire, colony. I tend to call it a STATE just to annoy people. And I always suspected CUMBRIA was an English Colony, too. But remember one thing: ALWAYS USE THE BALLOT INSTEAD OF A BALLOT.
Please!!! Look what the bullet did to Ulster. Irishman killing Irishman, England sitting back and laughing AT them. Divide and Rule they call it. AND THE IRISH FELL FOR IT. OH, GOD, THEY DID!!!
-
Personally, as the Celts didn't actually originate from Britain (they are infact immigrants to these shores) I think the Cornish should piss off back to where they came from. SUPPORT MY REVOLUTION - GET THE CORNISH OUT OF CORNWALL! GIVE CORNWALL BACK TO ITS RIGHTFUL OWNERS!!!!!
-
BBC Radio Cornwall....is not going to set the world on fire anytimec soon on Cornish identity they are under the strict rules of the BBC who are ANTI Cornwall listen to radio cornwall and count how many times they say "COUNTY of Cornwall" sorry but its the truth they want Cornwall to be a SHIRE of england listen to radio cornwall and go buy Cornish life magazine and be safe in the knowledge that you are a real partisan

WOTEEGOYN DO WIDDEN?

As a "Cornish" person myself, this is pretty ridiculous. Cornish nationalism comes from a state of mind? How about a Truro state of mind or even an I-live-in-a-house-near-town state of mind? Yeah I'm gonna go nationalistic and go independent because I don't wanna live in the same country as that arsehole at the end of the street!
Nationalism in general is a bit of a joke. All it is is "we're proud of ourselves for not being you over there in the next village/town/city/county/count
ry/continent." -
So they want to create a separate country based on a 'state of mind'?
For nice people, howcome is it that you all suddenly sound like a buch of nazis?

Possibly because you don't know anything about the Cornish situation?
If you want to know about it then I'm quite happy to provide you with the history and legalities surrounding Cornish nationalism.

Surname: Fletcher
This famous northern family name is believed to have derived from the Germanic pre 7th Century personal compound name "Fulcher". The introduction into England was probably by the Normans, and the name translates as "people's army" from "folk", plus "heri", army.
Looks like Fletch is a Germanic Norman, not a "Celt" afterall, ah well we all have to have hobbies. Even if they are strange, socialist, regional seperatist ones.

That's realy interesting, thankyou =)
However, I feel that it wasn't out of the goodness of your heart and that you were trying to prove something.
Just wondering what that may be.

Hi Fletch!
I'm involved in the Cumbric Revival in the north, and one thing that nips in the bud people having a go about a non-Brythonic surname, is merely by starting to identify oneself according to the pre-Scoti-Anglo-Saxon method ~ for example, I identify myself as Anthony ap Anthony, and in doing so I have realised that I have peeled off an English veneer, as common to the Kerno, Welsh, and Cymry of The Old North, is that we don't have surnames in our own culture!
Just a thought!

The thing is that we do have surnames in our own cultures. Almost any name beginning with tre- will be Cornish (Trevenna, Trethewy, Tregilis, Trelawny) and there are a lot of those.
The thing is that the worlds' cultures have been trading and diluting each others' gene pools for thousands of years and therefore blood and surname is no longer a viable way to distinguish nationality.
Chons da gans an dasvywnans Cumbrek!
Good luck with the Cumbric revival! :)
