    “The only problem with that article is it totally fails to show any rights which the Cornish have been denied.

    So your reference to; "Excellent reading especially for the English who deny us our rights" is trite and meaningless.”

    “This, small quote taken from the above link shows how easy it is to use an out of context historic reference:

    "This would seem to indicate that Cornwall was a Duchy, a county but not part of England."

    Note first the word "seem", seem does mean something is factual. Secondly note that the term 'county' is being accepted. Note thirdly this historical and extant fact which I reproduce below:

    "We, being willing to do more ample favour to the aforesaid Duke in his behalf, for the
    more abundant support of such honour, have granted for us and our heirs, Kings of
    England, Dukes of the said place in the Kingdom of England, hereditarily to succeed
    for ever…..'"

    Taken from the charter forming the Duchy, and how many times do I need to point this out, note well, the words "SAID PLACE in THE KINGDOM of ENGLAND…"

    Facts are facts. I am not denying anyone the right to call themselves whatever they wish but I am also not going to accept being told Cornwall is not a part of England when it factually is.”

    “What CallingtonFox fails to mention is that where it says "SAID PLACE in THE KINGDOM of ENGLAND…" was in relation to Devon within that Charter. Further more the meaning of both Duchy and County which he thinks seem to mean part of England is not exactly right when you look at the Etymology of those words. At that time both Duchy and County could be the same as Country. One of the problems with looking at words like this is that we see them in todays meaning and not the meaning of the time at which they were written. The only facts are that there is absolutely no proof anywhere in any records whatsoever that Cornwall was ever made a part of England in any legal sense, or any other sense either.”

    “A correction to my post. In that CallingtonFox posted:

    "We, being willing to do more ample favour to the aforesaid Duke in his behalf, for the
    more abundant support of such honour, have granted for us and our heirs, Kings of
    England, Dukes of the said place in the Kingdom of England, hereditarily to succeed
    for ever…..'"

    Taken from the charter forming the Duchy, and how many times do I need to point this out, note well, the words "SAID PLACE in THE KINGDOM of ENGLAND…"

    He took this completely out of context to what is written within the Charter. The meaning of said place in the kingdom of england was obviously about the succession and refers to England and not to Cornwall in any way. If he disputes this, I am perfectly prepared to post the whole of the Charter if he wants.”

    “I indicates that CallingtonFox had misinterpreted the Duchy Charter some time ago (29 Oct) using Philip Payton unbelievably. Here's my message repeated from then:

    "Yes, Cornwall is administered as a county of England by Westminster [now a Unitary Authority] but is recognised as a Celtic nation by the Celtic League, Celtic Congress and the Governments of Wales and Man among others. So 'Cornish Nation' can be used as a description and 'Cornish' can be recorded on census and other official documents.

    Someone quoted Philip Payton's book, Cornwall- a History, which goes to great lengths, all 300+ pages, to show Cornwall was never regarded as an English county and passed from Earldom to Duchy, which constitutionally it still is within the UK[verified by Plaid Cymru and the Attorney General]."

    I've added the two comments in square parentheses.”

    “"recognised as a Celtic nation by the Celtic League"

    So what? Can you also prove to me now exactly what and who the 'Celts' were? Because unless you read from one source alone you will see that nobody has a definite answer to that question. However, of course you can describe yourself as whatever you wish, some people described themselves as Jedhi on the census returns.


    If you also believe that Philip Payton's book shows that Cornwall was never regarded as an English County then I suggest you reread it, it says nothing of the sort. Unless of course you want to read what suits you. He is also goes to great lengths to show both sides of the coin.

    Mr Chopper8, anyone who tells me that Cornwall is not a part of England is attempting to deny me my right to my country. You think I am being 'ironic' then show me the incontrovertible PROOF, that I am wrong.”

    The Celtic League and Celtic congress are nothing more than a bunch of self elected nobodies, (the Celtic conference was last held in a hotel with less than forty bedrooms!) Wales does not have a government, it has an assembly, and neither the Welsh assembly nor the Tynwald recognise Cornwall as an independent country, but they do recognise it as a county of England.

If an adult wishes to learn or study it, then that is fine; but it must not be imposed upon our children in schools, (which may be seen in some quarters as being a form of politically motivated child abuse) or those who would not wish to learn it. ie: not to be included on road signs, council forms etc., at cost to those who do not wish, or have no reason, to learn it.
    How many youths in Cornwall will get a job because they speak fluent Cornish? How many will get a job because the speak fluent English?

    “Regarding Big_Ger's highly inaccurate posting, I have every pleasure in quoting from official Cornwall Council documentation as follows:

    "The British Irish Parliamentary Association (BIPA) that is due to meet in the Isle of Man is different from the better known British - Irish Council. The BIPA was established in 1990 to specifically bring together members of the Irish and UK Parliaments and the British Irish Council was established in 1998 as a result of the Good Friday Agreement.

    The British Irish Council met together last month in Edinburgh and for the first time Cornwall was represented on the Council as an observer member. It was suggested that Cornwall became an observer member of the Council last year by the (Plaid Cymru) Welsh representative on the British Irish Council. Brittany is now the only Celtic country that does not have a presence on the British Irish Council.

    England emains unrepresented."

    Mr Andrew George, Liberal Democrat MP was the motivating force behind this. Well done Andrew!

    “As a precursor to this appointment, Mr. George released the following press information:



    Request for place on Celtic assembly


    ST IVES MP Andrew George has put forward a bid for Cornwall to be accepted onto an assembly of Celtic nations.

    Mr George has asked the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly to consider allowing Cornwall to have a place at future meetings, initially as an observer.

    The group was first set up in 1990 when members of the Oireachtas in Dublin and Parliament at Westminster agreed to meet regularly. In 2001 membership included the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly, the Northern Ireland Assembly, the High Court of Tynwald on the Isle of Man and the States of Guernsey and Jersey.

    Now Mr George has asked the leader of Plaid Cymru Elfyn Llwyd to make inquiries to the council if Cornwall could be invited to future meetings.

    Mr George said:

    "Promoting Cornwall's distinctiveness is about cutting itself into the celebration of diversity rather than cutting itself off.

    "It would be a great boon to the newly established tier of government in Cornwall this week if a message were to be received from the British-Irish Council that, in view of Cornwall's special status and cultural heritage, it would be given an invitation to join others at the table of the British-Irish Council."


    It was Plaid Cymru's distinct pleasure to make this recommendation.

    Wales is subject to a Government of Wales - as instituted by the 2006 Act,

    “@CallingtonFox (re Thursday, November 08 2012, 5:03PM)

    Without wishing to get involved in parallel discussion, I believe that it is right to point out that
    the British Union is a 'Union of Kingdoms' with the inclusion of the 'province' of Northern Ireland, and not a union, per se, of the individual nations of 'Scotland' and 'England'.

    Cornwall's attachment to the English Crown does not make our territory (or people) an integral part of England in any other sense than that it is a dominion territory of the Crown (whether English or British), in much the same way that such constitutional arrangements applied to, for example, the Channel Islands, or the historical territories on mainland Europe of which the king, at certain times became king or duke. The effort involved in seeking to suggest that it is otherwise, is, with respect, one of the many factors that continues to drive the processes of Cornish Genocide.

    =========================================
    @CallingtonFox (re Thursday, November 08 2012, 5:05PM)

    Who the CELTS were is totally irrelevant to anything being discussed here. We are in the position, for better or worse, of living in a territory that, like a number of other territories, retain a language, which is described alternatively as 'Celtic', Brythonic, or Romano-British. This is reflected in our topography and language in a way that does not apply in England, because of the events of recorded history that established that clear demarcation and which brought us to the 'here & now'.

    It is a shame that the arguments cannot be presented free of 'posturing'.”

    "Cornwall's attachment to the English Crown does not make our territory (or people) an integral part of England..."

    You already know why I disagree with that statement. However I am aware that many 'types' of people a nation or country make; and I celebrate the parts all of England's counties including of course, Cornwall, have, and do, play in our collective history and culture.

    As for the relevance of the Celts, it would appear to matter to some people, according to the blowing of the debating wind, some, as you must be aware, use 'being Celtic' to stamp their authority and 'rights' to claim Cornwall as their own.”

    Totally wrong, I have provided plenty of proof, all backed up with sources, real sources. All these two have done is provide what at best can could be called highly subjective evidence taken from personal opinions and historical writings that are also highly subjective, out of the all important historical contexts and very often those too are only contemporary personal opinions. None of it is proof. You also obviously do not understand the meaning of the word, proof.”

    Your point, as ever is a load of nonsense.

    The council of the isles does not recognise Cornwall as an intendant nation, so you are either telling fibs, or grossly deluded, or both.,

    In fact the council of the isles website doesn't recognise Cornwall at all. Andrew George can write as many letters as he likes to them, it matters not.

We live in the same County and are not being deprived.

    British, Irish Council? Celtic League? etc., etc., I have heard more sensible debate and comment in my local pub.
    What I do know, and not from casual observation on this Forum, is there are not very many Cornish Nationalists around the County. They attempt to convince us differently, but everywhere you look you find the same aliases and second aliases being used, and the same names attached to documents (that's documents of no consequence to anyone).

    In another thread within this forum I found the comments used by certain members had all been plagiarised from other Nationalist sites - some of which appeared to have been around since the days of the Celts. They also 'rehearse' their replies!
