"Your argument is not with the English; after all, New Labour is run by your fellow Celts, why don’t you take it up with the Scottish Raj?"

Yes our argument is with Nu labour who promised to listen to the people when it came to devolution. It seems they like to ignore "the people" when they disagree with them. However the Cornish question did not just come about with the arrival of Nu labour. The English and then later British establishment has long pursued a policy of 'ignore and assimilate' when it comes to the Cornish. As to describing the power structure of the UK as the "Scottish Raj", what can I say. The UK's governmental bodies and civil service plus capital are all English.

"continue to vote for BRITISH unionist parties which have done nothing to change the situation. Mebyon Kernows vote is still a minority in the Duchy."

The Liberal Democrats who have all Cornish MP's and control of the Unitary Authority promised to campaign for a Cornish assembly on the back of the 50,000 signature petition plus other opinion polls in support of devolution.

"Would you be unsurprised or calling for reflection if they didn’t have as a target a group you consider prejudice against acceptable? How much reflection would there be if an equivalent group decided to target you?"

Goodness me these English nationalists really are paranoid. You know the story of the little boy who cried wolf don't you Sarah? The Cornish have been targeted for quite some time now after all how do you explain the Cornish question; for more details: http://www.kernowtgg.co.uk/

Death threats from faceless far right British and English nationalists are also a recurrent theme.

"I understand that Cornwall has had an identity as a Duchy going back to the end of the Roman Empire."

Sorry I'll re-phrase that: I understand within the Duchy of Cornwall there has been a seperate identity to being English that goes back before the creation of the Duchy of Cornwall in the middle ages.

This is not an apology for Cornish terrorists, nor is it an attempt to over state the scale of the problem, but it is a call for reflection. Were the CNLA / CRA inevitable? When you throw into the mix the ease of communication via the internet thus facilitating the creation and coordination of clandestine groups, poverty and housing problems are we still so surprised by the CRA? Wasn’t the writing on the wall?

Would you be unsurprised or calling for reflection if they didn't have as a target a group you consider prejudice against acceptable? How much reflection would there be if an equivalent group decided to target you?

I'm not surprised no. I understand that Cornwall has had an identity as a Duchy going back to the end of the Roman Empire. It's culture being a mix of it Brythonic roots merged with the culture of Wessex i.e. The West Country. What I find hard to stomach is the fact the Cornish attack symbols of English identity and yet continue to vote for BRITISH unionist parties which have done nothing to change the situation. Mebyon Kernows vote is still a minority in the Duchy.

If the Cornish Nationalists approach the English Nationalists (not the racist variety) they would probably see they have 99% of things in common with each other with regards to the democratic defeceit. Cornish support for the EU also seems incredibly mis-guided especially as the EU does not recognise Conwall as anything but a part of the SWR.

I am sure if things continue the way they do we will see an English "Freedom Army" or something along those lines...

We know where you're coming from Phil, this government is doing the same identity assasination in England. They refuse to acknowledge any English identity except in sport, and they'd strangle that as well if they could. They have harried English flag wavers ever since coming to power, usually branding them as racists. New Labour set their minions in Councils all over England on to people flying their nationl flag from their homes and made them feel guilty about being English. Many people now believe it is illegal to fly the national flag of England.

Your argument is not with the English, after all, New Labour is run by your fellow celts, why don't you take it up with the Scottish Raj?

Good luck, as an English nationalist who would support Cornish independence if people wanted it, and accept the Cornish into England if they wanted that. I don't know where opinion lies, but I believe it is mixed. However terrorism is not the way forward.

The EU, despite it's political correctness, doesn't recognise regional and national differences beyond administrative regions. They will have no comprehension of or support for Cornwall. The British government exist, it seems, with the sole aim of 'preserving the union' regardless of people's opinions.

You will find allies within the English parliament/English independence movements. Recognising self-government for historic nations is what we do! England may not have acted nicely in the past, but don't push us away now. All nationalists share a common goal.
