My thanks to for to the campaign on Facebook. He makes a good point about why Facebook's moderators allow such comments. Facebook has a "Report This Group" feature which invites complaints about comments which discriminate on grounds of race or ethnicity, or which make a credible threat of violence. Too narrow? If the "I Hate Cornwall" group is meant to be a joke, then imho it's not very funny. I will ask Facebook for an explanation.

As for that site, I believe it was Gandhi who said "First they ignore you, then they mock you, then they fight you.....Then you win", so, it looks like we're well on the way to winning.

Slimslad
Without the owner’s permission it is illegal, if owners of a bridge or wall choose to write "We Hate the English" they are just expressing an opinion.

A3047 in Redruth, on the railway bridge between the Treleigh Arms and Cardrew Industrial Estate.....also I believe someone has sprayed 'English Out' on the back of a road sign near to Redruth Community College.
