Anti-racist Cornish blog to close

Graham Smith | 09:07 UK time, Saturday, 13 November 2010

It seems the , formerly Cornish Against Racism, has only a week to go unless someone volunteers to take it over. Only a handful of posts in its brief life, but very interesting.

Comments

  • Comment number 1.

    Any comments about only employing Cornish people and only housing Cornish people and refusing any person from a outside the UK being racist?

  • Comment number 2.

    You really do have a Bee in your Bonnet.

  • Comment number 3.

    Many thanks for the kind words Graham. If there are no takers for the One Kernow blog its posts will be imported into the Cornish Republican.

    Rest assured that the Cornish Republican blog will continue in the same anti-racist line, it's simply that there will be no pretence of One Kernow being a collective venture.

  • Comment number 4.

    The french resistance to the rescue

  • Comment number 5.

    Better than the black shirt quizzlings don't you think?

  • Comment number 6.

    I think in some ways it will be a shame that this blog is going to be closed down. In another way it makes me glad, it goes to show that there is not a problem of racial hatred in Kernow. Those on the extreme right that purport to represent Cornwall have no visible presence here, the BNP seems in no great danger of getting elected at any level of government here. Thankfully we have never experienced the riots/ protests agitated by the EDL/BNP/football hooligans in England. Happily these nutjobs that promote views of superior cultures and racial based ideology are largely confined to the internet and politics in Cornwall largely follows a more civilised path discussing real issues of governance such as the economy and the need for devolution.

    Or we could be honest and say the site was created by bigoted people in an act of denial now they have an English born councillor they feel they have this base covered and will concentrate the efforts on defending the borders for outsiders (devonwall) and offering cheap housing to the Cornish born who made a packet selling the homes to second home owners, in the first place.

    You can often spot a xenophobic commenters by the use of BNP and EDL within the comments they make. Oh gosh guess that makes me one I hear the usual children say. It’s that feeble here.

  • Comment number 8.

    Rob, just more proof if needed, Cornwall isn't in England

  • Comment number 9.

    Overheard by my daughter on a train in the midlands earlier today:

    Irate man " Are you English? Don't you understand the word recommend?"

    Ticket inspector " No sir I am Cornish"

  • Comment number 10.

    With 99% of the population being white this should not surprise anyone, its got so bad the racists have to construct exclusive races to fulfil the racism they have within them, I have no time for anyone playing judge on others based on location of birth, language or skin colour, dress in whatever you want it is racism, like the buffoon who thinks his country is Britain. In my eyes they are just racists without an enemy so have had to invent one

  • Comment number 11.

    So where is the line between enthusiasm and racism?

    They spend so much time inventing this Cornish minority that they often cross into bigotry and racism themselves, the only saving grace being in the eyes of the law they are English, even if they do not like to be called it. They are in fact attacking themselves

    "Better than the black shirt quizzlings don't you think?"

    Or Black-Shirt Quislings, even?

    To the best of my knowledge, the law only states that we are all British, would you care to reference the law that says otherwise?

  • Comment number 14.

    As I said legally they are what they proclaim to hate. Britian is not or ever been a Country and as these nats like to boast that Wales and Scotalnd are leaggly nations and the law has ruled Cornwall is not a country, legally they are English that an absolute fact. Trembath you are not clever enough to play word games the facts are here within this comment

  • Comment number 15.

    I am not playing "word games" Jacks, you are.
    I asked if you could provide a reference to the law that states we are English, no games, a simple reference.
    As for the difference between a Nation, Country and state, I suggest that you do some research, they are all different concepts. The Cornish, like the Welsh, Scottish, Irish, and English, are a Nation. That is an absolute fact.

    Andrew you are wasting your time, let him have no country, he has personally offended me by attacking the memory of my dead brother, he is just a thug saying things he has been told to say on C24, if he does not want to be English good for him, bye Trembath find another country that will have you

  • Comment number 17.

    Where have I attacked the memory of your dead brother?

  • Comment number 18.

    I am still waiting for you to show us all where it was that I made the alleged "attack" on the memory of your dead brother.
    I find such accusations personally offensive.

  • Comment number 19.

    Still waiting.
