What can explain this very relaxed approach of Cornwall's MPs?

I just hope they are sober and do not make a scene, as for having any influence, give over. The Janitor has more influence and his name is Clegg from the party of sell outs. All this talk and I doubt they will sell it to the public, just as the Tories planed it

I did think, I have to admit, that the Cornish ConDem Six would have the b*lls,("political will"?), to challenge the breach of Athelstan's sacred boundary? They may have an "ace up their sleeve".But, on present form? They will fold.

Of all the things for our elective representatives to use there "LIMITED" influence for this is offers the ordinary unemployed person the least, it offers unemployed school leavers the least, it offers Cornish society the least.

Exactly! Well said,Peter Tregantle! whilst you have to admire the nationalists for their stamina, their protests do nothing to address the real issues of poverty, homelessness and unemployment in Cornwall.They do not stand for election, for the most part. They would rather "stand on the sidelines" and point fingers and jeer at elected representatives and public servants. They whisper about the "English Imperialist State" like it is some K.G.B.-like secret organisation and quote archaic law to "prove" their right to just what, at the end of the day? Cornwall as a Republic? Cornwall as a Commonwealth nation?, Cornwall as a part of a larger "Celtic Nation" that never existed, except in myth? I am not sure they are even sure!

The aim of the nationalists is to get public funding for their hobby.

I do not view CorNat'ism as a hobby just misdirected angst. These are people who are looking for someone to blame and have been encourage to make all Cornish people victims as a ploy. The annoyance at the majority laughing at them turns this angst into hostility, both to the truth and the world that surrounds them. This anger eats away at them and they become "lost boys", unable to relate to the world. Even talking now about CorNat'ism here, motivates them and gives them a much sought after purpose, in time they will be gone and the children will fight for what real matters. Who knows perhaps one day we will have a political party called the Children of Cornwall searching for new paths and new hope. Until then we have to laugh from the side-lines as the Sons misrepresent Cornish values and culture.

The children are our future, so long as the majority have common sense then hope remains, we should count ourselves lucky that the hostility shown by these CorNat'ist deters support, my own parents are nats, I walk a different path but accept the world is much bigger place for me than it was for them, yes we should protect our culture but not become insular in doing so.
