@JohnPurchaseArt let me tell you this saxon. My Welsh family has kept records of our existance in brittian, so we welsh were here, no preceltic settlers. we Welsh and Cornish were only this bloody rock the whole time.
@theinfinatetroll Look lad we are nothing like you " germanic tribes" We look nothing like germans or ever will look you freken saxons our languages are much different, our culture, folklore we are not gaul frenchies or saxon germans. Ask any living soul in Wales, or cornwall, even blood Brittany. We are not germans!
@simmonjg Cornish folk are awesome hosts. Go and find out more about your family history! I did and it was the best 3 weeks I've ever spent away from home. My advice, go in spring - many great spring time holiday celebrations (April/May)
DNA Research by Stephen Oppenheimer had disproven the victorian myth that Celts were cleansed by Germanic tribes.In fact 80% of British DNA comes from the earliest settlers who were here long before celtic and saxon culture was imposed by replaced ruling classes.The general population has never changed.
@QuietReckoning cultural suicide? but most of it was forced cultural change.....you need to read the history before before having a liberal rant........the cornish arent daft we know we are all homo sapien sapiens,,,,,but cultural variety makes the world less grey.....cornish got in such a weak state due to something called causality which is a phenomenon of the universe, bach
@fadmucker08 Then we're in agreement about one thing.
If I decided to, I could WANT to be Sami. I could want really really badly to be part of the Sami ethnic group. I could learn to speak their language, follow their religion, adopt their culture, and live like them .But I wouldn't be ethnically Sami. And that's totally Okay.
If Cornwall wants to commit cultural suicide, then that is their choice.
@QuietReckoning No sorry, that's what I said at all. You said that The Cornish people do not want to be English and I know that's not true. There are a small percentage of Cornish people, usualy elderley gentlman, who talk about it all the time. However if you had a vote on it, which if you remember you did not so long ago, then you'd find that the percentage is very small.. Rightly or wrongly Cornwall is a county in England and that's how it will stay I think. Good luck though.
@fadmucker08 So you're saying that the people of Conrwall don't have the right to self determination? I'm not saying that Cornwall must split. I'm saying A) That there should probably be a Cornish assembly, and B) they, as a people that are not ethnically english, that are, technically a nation, should have the right to decide the fate of their nation.
If they decide they want to become English and stay part of Britain, that is their choice.
