Cornwall is a Nation

As a national minority, the Cornish have a right to be recognised for what we are: the UK's fifth nation.

[Cornwall is a Nation @YesCornwall]

In the House of Commons, the Prime Minister says he recognises Cornish national minority status, and wishes the people of Cornwall a happy St Piran’s Day.

Gool Peran Lowen!

🚨 BREAKING: South West Water has been fined almost £8 MILLION today for repeated sewage pollution offences.

Water executives should be facing PRISON TIME for this disgusting repeat offending, not just a fine. ❌

@hoeBread36 Learn the difference between nation and country

@MrReeceballa The Cornish are a recognised national minority, equal in status to the Welsh and Scots. A constituent people of these islands, with the same right to national recognition.

@SilveryAmazon We’re talking about national recognition. Scotland’s nation status didn’t depend on having devolution. Why should Cornwall’s?

[Cornwall is a Nation @YesCornwall]

It’s pretty hypocritical to demand recognition of Scottish nationhood while completely ignoring Cornish nationhood.

Either we all have equal recognition, or none of us do.

[Pete Wishart @PeteWishart]

There are 4 nations in the UK. Only one presumes to speak for all and deny the others the right to determine their own future. It is a situation that can't continue.

[Cornwall is a Nation @YesCornwall]

@The_tired_giant If you don’t understand the difference between recognition and independence, there’s no point engaging further

[Cornwall is a Nation @YesCornwall]

@kirsti_kean Exactly what I’m talking about. There is no hierarchy of nationhood. If you use it against us, someone will use it against you.

@RashersWos Scotland didn’t start being a nation in 1999.

[Cornwall is a Nation @YesCornwall]

@SilveryAmazon Scotland didn’t start being a nation in 1999.

[Cornwall is a Nation @YesCornwall]

@PeteWishart There are five nations. Demanding recognition of Scotland’s nation status while simultaneously ignoring Cornwall’s national status is just hypocrisy.

On a day of unimaginable tragedy, ordinary people stood up as heroes on 9/11, one of whom was Rick Rescorla. Rick was a proud Cornishman and a decorated U.S. Army officer who worked as head of security for @MorganStanley in the South Tower. His foresight, courage & selflessness saved almost all of the company’s 2,700 employees on 9/11. His bravery & heroism alongside many, many others, will never be forgotten.

@Cornish_Stuff And it wasn’t Ben Maguire who secured the meeting. AI may be the future but every time I read one of your AI articles I’m thinking “how much can I trust that the AI got it right?” And I can’t be the only one.

[Cornwall is a Nation @YesCornwall]

@Cornish_Stuff If you’re going to use AI to write articles, at least proofread them first

[Cornwall is a Nation @YesCornwall]

I’m sorry, *whose* lands?

[John Redwood @johnredwood]

As we consider the Bayeux Embroidery we should remember the many killed by this French invasion. English men and women had their lands stolen. Many were put into serfdom by a new Norman governing class.

[Cornwall is a Nation @YesCornwall]

Devon MPs laughed when we said we wanted our own deal. They said it wasn’t possible. They said the only way was a Devonwall Mayor sat in Plymouth.

Well we’re getting our own deal.

When Cornwall states our nationhood with confidence, we cannot be ignored!

🚨 〓〓 Cautiously optimistic news for Cornwall today: In his first statement to the Commons, the new PM Andy Burnham has committed to a proper devolution deal for the Duchy, with OR WITHOUT an elected Mayor.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he had asked No 10 North to start working with Cornwall Council on a devolution deal. https://t.co/xy1FRWO0sA
