The majority is normally determined by the count of "numbers" posted in the ballot box, if a handful who thinks they are more Cornish than most, think they can do it on their own, they will have another think coming.

Slimslad, we have "majority rule" at the moment. It is called the status quo and it is NOT DEMOCRACY FOR THE CORNISH PEOPLE. If it were, we would not be living in an 'EIS Trolls Paradise'. I have, above, pointed your colleague to his 'abandoned' thread where the last two posts spells out what it is all about. Perhaps you should pluck up the courage to have a peek?

The only way that any hint of Democracy can be brought into our Cornish Duchy is when 'All the Truth' is known about the lies, deception and propaganda about the abuse of Cornish Rights and our illegally Suppressed Constitution that all adds up to Cornish Genocide. You know the thread!

Only when 'All the Truth' is known and discussed with transparency, and honesty - unknown to you lot! - will 'the people' be able to make proper informed choices about the future of both themselves and our Cornish Duchy, which as you know is extra-territorial to England in the same way that Scotland is. The Lady and her Lad know the truth, let them set a good example!

Until that time, it will be business as usual, but, faced with the usual EIS 'denial', 'denigration' and 'diversions' supported by Crown & State Intransigence', will only escalate.”

“@H_Trevorrow (re Wednesday, June 27 2012, 10:14PM)

"A recent thing"? What rubbish! What was the difference between the Earldom of Cornwall and the Duchy of Cornwall, then, Trevorrow? Constitutionally? Nothing! At no time did either merge into the Crown, but was a distinct territorial possession extra-territorial to England. The Duchy had more extensive prerogatives and estates as part of the augmentation, but it was only ever held 'as of the honor' of Earldom and Duchy respectively. The augmentation to a Duchy formalised the grant to a single person, the heir to the throne, whereas the Earldom was a rather fragmented arroangement that occasionally alienated parcels of the Earldom. It however always remained as a territorial whole.

The true legal position of the 'Duchy of Cornwall, especially in the wording of the associated documents, is the incontrovertible proof that the Cornish people have been insidiously abused by Crown and State. Why should you, and your friends wish that to be withheld from the public perception?. Ceding control is about coming under the 'protection' of a foreign king and it is the historical predatory nature of that relationship that has brought us to where we are now.

However, the creation, more correctly the 'restoration', of the Duchy of Cornwall, in 1337, is a constitutional settlement that deliberately sets Cornwall apart forever, with the Duke as the head of the Cornish State. The misrepresentation of that fact can only be construed as being genocidal in intent to deny the Cornish their rights as one of the constituent nations of Britain, where the existence of 'the Duchy' and its constitutional position is wilfully lied about as the title of Duchy is hijacked for a 'private' estate and a commercial enterprise.

The reference to a 1000 years is nothing more than an imagined smokescreen of wishful thinking by those that cannot provide proof that once again has not, and can not, be substantiated. If it can be totally undermined within the last 100 years and shown by historical evidence not to be as you would like it to be reflected, then where is your argument? Please show where the evidence on the "Genocide and the Truth?" (or other threads) even begins to support your assertions.

The existence of the conflation of English with British is just another element that brings total chaos to your assertions of what is, or is not 'English', which has been around for many centuries. Not least during the mythical inception of Great Britain at the beginning of the Stuart's Reign, or the Victorian glorification of the British Empire that permeated the newly introduced educational brainwashing curriculum. Show me where a 'British history' is anything other than 'English history' by another name.

If you feel so confident about your unproven assertions, then let the whole story be brought out into the public domain, in the way that Thomas Hammarberg, the COE Human Rights Commissioner, recommends? Then we can all fight together for a common cause. The search for the Truth.

John Norden prepared "The General Historie of the Duchie of Cornwall" (1650) and gives us a brief view of the classical symptoms of external domination when he identifies the two factions of the Cornish population between the 'Gentlemen' who have "tasted ciuil education" and the "baser sort" who have not. The latter described as:
-------------------------------------------------------
"And as they are amonge themselues litigious, so seem they yet to retayne a kinde of conceyled enuye agaynste the Englishe, whom they yet effecte with a desire of reuenge for their fathers sakes, by whome their fathers recuyued the repulse."
-------------------------------------------------------

There are other examples.”

“""In the darkness of despair we saw a vision. We lit the light of hope and it was not extinguished. In the desert of discouragement we saw a vision. We planted the tree of valour and it blossomed. In the winter of bondage we saw a vision. We melted the snow of lethargy and the river of resurrection flowed from it. We sent our vision aswim like a swan on the river. The vision became a reality. Winter became summer. Bondage became freedom and this we left to you as our inheritance. O generations of freedom remember us. The generations of the vision.""”

“From the plaque in the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin where last year Queen Elizabeth laid a wreath in recognition of those who rose against her forebears.

Time is a great healer and Kernow has time on its side we need no false prophets like Trevorrow to betray us or despise us, our intent is peaceful, our cause is just, the snow of lethargy is thawing, we too have a vision.”

“Tremoron has great difficulty in understanding Peoples and Culture. I think he means Le Tene Culture, if I am not mistaken. Also he fails to understand the time scales involved, it's like saying modern English Culture is the same as it was in the Middle Ages, totally pathetic. When he uses the Term Celt, he yet again misunderstands what he is saying. Celt is quite a Modern term used to describe People who used a Celtic Language, it was not used by those People to describe themselves but is useful today as a Label. The same way we use English today to describe People who have Angle, Jute and Saxon Lineage. DNA has now proved that the Celts of Britain have been in Britain for thousands of Years, since the last Ice Age. Like I said before, you can't Educate Pork.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Simply not true! It was a Territorial possession under "the protection of the Crown", which is why it is now held as a perpetual trust, by the Crown, when there is no Duke, with a special constitution position within the State. It is neither for the Crown nor the Duke to dispose of, or initiate a process of Cornish Genocide. Neither is it the prerogative of the fauxCornish Imperialist apologists. As AnGof1955 rightly said, ""Tremoron has great difficulty in understanding Peoples and Culture." A good example of how correct he is, is the fact of your own identity. With all the constitutional changes that interfered with the development, and consolidation, of 'England' this never changed the underlying culture identity of your adopted nation. In fact the same constitutional changes that interfered with Cornwall, only served to strengthen the Cornish Identity until the ultimate genocidal coup de grace of 1889, when the Duchy was illegally demoted to a mere administrative county in England (sic).

It is only, as you imply, "small beer" because you speak from a faux Cornish English Imperialist apologist position. The Cornish will to exist as the Cornish Nation has transcended all the political and constitutional chicanery up until the present time and manifested itself throughout history by internal example and external observation.

That is the reason that your 1000 years is just empty, and jealous rhetoric for having lived "The Lie". "Small beer" is not a valid response to the evidence that I present, it is simply more 'denial', 'denigration' and 'dismissive' without substance. The Norden observation that I quoted that I gave coincided with the time that Cornwall was being spray-painted out of the public perception by being removed from the recent moves to official State-sponsored maps.

Let me add a later observation by Robert Lois Stevenson, from his book "Across the Plains" (1892) to indicate that '"he Cornish" still figured in the public perception:

-------------------------------------------------
"There were no emigrants direct from Europe - save one German family and a knot of Cornish miners who kept grimly to themselves, one reading the New Testament all day long through steel spectacles, the rest discussing privately the secrets of their old-world, mysterious race. Lady Hester Stanhope believed she could make something great of the Cornish; for my part, I can make nothing of them at all. A division of races, older and more original than Babel, keeps this close, esoteric family apart from neighbouring Englishmen. Not even a Red Indian seems more foreign in my eyes. This is one of the lessons of travel - that some of the strangest races dwell next door to you at home."
---------------------------------------------------------------------"”

“"To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul. It is one of the hardest to define. A human being has roots by virtue of his real, active and natural participation in the life of a community which preserves in living shape certain particular treasures of the past and certain particular expectations for the future."”

“Very good, Gurnards_Head.

I wish I had said that.

Then again, I bet you wish you had said it too.”

“Let us complement, and balance, it with a quote that links it directly to what is going on within our Cornish Duchy and which has also been previously added to "The Genocide" thread:

------------------------
"Collective identity is not self-evident but derives from the numerous, inter-dependent aspects of a group's existence. Lemkin's original conception of genocide expressly recognized that a group could be destroyed by attacking any of these unique aspects. By limiting genocide to its physical and biological manifestations, a group can be kept physically and biologically intact even as its collective identity suffers in a fundamental and irremediable manner. Put another way, the present understanding of genocide preserves the body of the group but allows its very soul to be destroyed. "
----------------------------------------------------------”

“Forgive my ignorance, but what is all this about Cornish Genocide?
Is this a reference to the Prayer-Book Rebellion of 1549?”

“Lemkin, who, (although the originator of the word, "genocide", and an expert in his field), never identified Cornish people as "victims" of genocide.

Never wrote one word on it.

Puzzling.”

“How on earth could you ever imagine a thick ignorant Cornish Nationalist saying that? it was actually said by a Jewish Lady victim of the Holocaust but is nonetheless very relevant to this forum.”

“hey secretcitizen,you seem to have a phobia against older men!!!...whats the problem?..and moaning about what percentage of the people own what is a none starter...i am on your side in respect of the inequalities of life...but we live in a capitalist world...where for some people to be rich others have to be poor...there can be no equality under capitalism..the equitable world you seek is a myth..so unless you want to get into socialist theory ..it's better to drop the politics of envy because it eats you up like cancer...so fight for a new Cornwall..a just Cornwall that cares for it people...it can be done..with the will of our people..”

This is something that, more properly, should be discussed on "The Genocide" thread, but I would be intrigued if you could please list the places that Lemkin does mention as part of "his many examples of genocide"?

I would be even more interested in why you consider that a 'non-reference' to Cornwall might be relevant, within a discussion on Lemkin's research that formulated a 'universal' definition of Genocide, intended to be brought into International Law? A definition that was 'finalised' in the 1948 Convention in a seriously limited form.

My query re Slimslad is because of the unfortunately similar format of your post, and the choice of question. We will, of course, never know who is really who in internet forums.”

The "non-reference" leads me to the conclusion that Lemkin himself either "missed" the Cornish genocide in his research for the 1948 Convention, or that others have taken his conclusions and theories and somehow "fitted" them to modern-day Cornwall.”

Thanks for the links, with which I am very familiar. Please explain why a "non-reference" is relevant within the scope of a 'universal definition of the process of Genocide' and your reference to "somehow" fitted them to modern day Cornwall?

“I have an observation. The crime of genocide comes within the scope of Resolution 260 (III) A of the U.N. General Assembly on 9 December 1948. If the alleged Cornish genocide comes within the parameters of this resolution, has this been reported? If so, what has been the reaction, if any, of the U.N.?

“i have read your link and found the link to the Carnegie Council most interesting. Cultural genocide of the Cornish, with speakers of the revived language on the rise? With children identifying themselves as Cornish at school? With The flag of St Piran flying from the "Royal Barge"? How can this be?”

“An interesting perspective Tolgus.
I s there now a genocide being comitted on the english forced to become cornishised?”

“@Tolgus (re Saturday, June 30 2012, 11:06AM & Saturday, June 30 2012, 11:15AM)

With respect, this has already been discussed on the "Cornish Genocide and the Truth?" thread, which I linked to in my previous response. Perhaps you might look there first for some answers, which might shortcut some previously made points from having to be repeated.”

“How can this be?

It is too ridiculous for words. Anything to conjure up something to hate, but this time again, the genocide thread, has exposed and made a laughing stock of them and they wonder why people walked away from that thread lol. Come on all those who love Cornwall and want the best for Cornwall, time to ditch this barmy element that are in our midst, or should they be more pitied than laughed at.”

“With the greatest of respect, I have combed through "Cornish Genocide and the Truth", and I am still at a loss to discover any evidence of a "conspiracy", (political, social, or otherwise), to commit "cultural genocide", with the Cornish as victims. I totally accept that, in the past, monarchy and government, from England, have committed foul acts of genocide, not just within the British Isles. But in Cornwall? No in my opinion.”

“"Is there now a genocide being committed on the English forced to become cornishised?"

This may raise a more serious point about "fashion". It seems it is not "fashionable" to declare oneself "English". You can hardly blame people for "discovering non-English roots", when right-wing groups "hijack" what they see as "Englishness" to feed their fascist agendas, in my opinion.”

“nobody is walking away youngcornwall!!!..we are all reading your anti cornish garbage..yeah,taking it in, and knowing who the enemies of cornwall are..myself, i'm not a great one for debate with your type....unfortunately i cannot commit any of my views to this forum,,,it would have you and your goons screaming terrorists!!!..and dialing 999..But let me tell you this democracy has its limits...we all know the barriers that confronted angarrick,when trying to take on english state law..so let me say once more,,democracy has its limits!!!...”

“Perhaps we English in cornwall should apply for european protection of our culture under 'framework convention for the protection of national minorities'.
What do you think everywhere.”

“Getting slightly off topic...

am i alone in feeling that asking school children to classify themselves either ethnically , nationally , religously is totally unacceptable in a multi cultural society.
No other place in the uk does this .
I would expect an outpouring of outrage if it were introduced to a mixed community such as Londons east end. But in Cornwall its ok

Personally i find it morally repugnant in the extreme. It seems to me an abuse of children whatever their heritage.”

“Yep English Trevorrow/Antbod - you are alone. 44% of school kids in this Country identify as Cornish and that number is growing and yes it is ok in Cornwall. And there's damn all you can do about it.

But make sure you behave English or else a lot of your writing will disappear just like it did yesterday!

Enjoy!”

“With respect Chy
what practicle pupose does this '' survey'' serve?
Unless there is a practicle demonstratable purpose is this not a perversion of the minors right to be allowed to reach an age of maturity before making such an assesment??

Think about it ...you would not subject children of northern ireland to a published survey on their religion or children in Tower hamlets as to their ethnicity...there would quite rightly be a massive backlash against the ABUSE of those children and their privaledge of innocence.

Abuse is abuse....comitted on the innocent it is evil, morally repugnant and will come to haunt those who perpetrated it .

churning out the results is missing the point .”

“@Tolgus (re Saturday, June 30 2012, 5:03PM)

It is indeed gratifying to know that you have "combed through" the Genocide Thread, but it is not surprising that you have discovered no evidence of a "conspiracy". That is possibly, because a "conspiracy" has never been stated or implied. I have simply provided evidence to back up the fact that Cornish Genocide, and culpability, exists. I would be interested to hear from your good self why you consider my evidence to be incorrect?

With regard to your two previous posts @( Saturday, June 30 2012, 11:06AM & Saturday, June 30 2012, 11:15AM) you will have seen that I have referred to the '48 Convention as not being relevant to the Cornish Case, because of its imposed narrow limitations. Your references to the growing 'awareness' of the Cornish people to the value of their cultural attributes, in no way signals the absence of Cornish Genocide (nor the achievement of its ultimate objective), but is, in fact, a reaction to its existence and their desire to resist it. The underlying processes, however, are still in place and active. These little exchanges are, in fact, a part of this process.”

just returned from a trip, to find this, "KernowGB". Do I take it that you regard my posts as "part of the process" of Cornish "genocide", as you call it? That,by my mentioning that Lemkin's researches did not appear to mention genocide of any type in Cornwall, I am somehow part of the "genocide" that you,(and you alone, it appears), see taking place?”

--------------------------------------------------

Déjà vu definitiely springs to mind.

I have posed a number of questions, above, for you to clarify, but which you seem intent upon ignoring. Yet, you seem to have picked up on a comment that was intended within a much broader meaning and context than just a discussion with someone using the name 'Tolgus'. Surely, if I meant you alone, then I would have said "This little exchange"? It is also unclear to me as to why you should particularly choose to relate that comment as being particularly relevant to your reference to Lemkin?

For the record: I would consider any, and all, defense of the status quo within our Cornish Duchy to be 'a part of the process' especially where it is seen to be promoted as an apology for the system and/or a blind 'denial', or ignoring, of the evidence.

I would also repeat, for everyone's consideration: If I am the only one that perceives that such a process exists, then why is there so much fuss about it? My last post gave an explanation as to how it is perceived in a subliminal way, but without the label. I have simply provided the correct label, under international and natural law for the process, as you will have seen on the "Genocide and the Truth?" thread.”

“I do think you are alone with this. Having "Googled" the subject the whole thing about "Cornish cultural genocide" would appear to come down to people annoyed at anything beginning with "English", (English Heritage, English Nature, etc). Not the language, not the flag, not even the history. This is your "evidence"? I am discussing this, by the way, with someone called "KernowGB".”

“@Tolgus (re Wednesday, July 04 2012, 5:48PM)

It is noted that you again are not responding directly to my post!

What is the point of your posting? Are you now saying that you lied about having "combed through" the Genocide Thread"?

I would certainly cite "English Symbolism" as a key part of the process of Cornish Genocide, but it manifests itself in many ways, which is why "Cornish Symbolism" is necessarily a crucial part of the Cornish reaction and argument and why I posted a list of the offending misrepresentations on the "Genocide Thread" to give a comparison of how the process is operating in such an insidious way. I could easily add more.

It is not clear how you could have come to such a bizarre conclusion that 'language', 'flag', or 'history' is not included - if you have genuinely "combed through" the Genocide Thread"?

You are now, as I originally suspected, coming across as a very superficial and disingenuous individual.

Do you have some sort of a problem with my username? If so, Why?

Do you have some sort of problem with what I have provided as 'evidence'? If so, spell it out!”

“Hmmm.."Educated"?

You are rude, pompous, narrow-minded and bigoted.

How's that?”

“This is priceless!

Those on the "fringes",(shall we say), of Cornish nationalism, participated in a survey, with others.

The survey was organized by "Hope Not Hate", (an-antifascist group.), and, basically, questioned folk on what they described themselves as,"British, English, Irish Scots, Welsh, Other)

The neo-Celts rushed to put "Cornish" in the little box that said "Other".
