From Mike Chappell
"I have been interviewed by the Radio and Newspapers this past 24 hours as well as announcing on my own Radio Station that I shall be in attendance at the Rally at saltash on Sunday and urge One & All to be there and to avail themselves of the transport being organised via Mayor Killeya's team."I have also confirmed that should the Boundary which has been extant for 1,000 years be ignored by the evil alliance of a Government then from that day I shall not eat food until it is restored.
"Many have questioned my loyalty to Kernow down the years but let it be known that although I have a beautiful woman in my life again, Kernow was, is and always will be my first love and I am prepared to give my all to her.
"Not the words of a maniac but of someone who has spent many months preparing himself for this.
"Please please I urge you to support rally. After that, if the wicked people in London ignore us, then I shall execute my promise to the full.
Kernow bys vykken !
Mike"

It is amusing that when shown that your percentage dig actually works against you, you wish to drop it.
The organisers were expecting about 500, they had catered for about 500, and, according to Graham Smith, whose blog this is, they, as near as makes no difference, got their expectations fulfilled. Hardly an "embarrassment".

Slimslad, if I find something offensive, I complain to the person or organisation that was responsible for it. If Mr. Chapple, or anyone else, has said or written something you find offensive, then raise that with him. If he said it in his capacity as an official of an organisation that he is a member of, raise it with them. If you receive no satisfaction, then, by all means make the matter public, explaining what you found offensive, and the response you got, so that others can then make up their own minds about it.
But.
To use a comment made by someone on one "side" of a debate that you consider to be offensive to either, excuse the offence caused by someone on your "side" of the debate, or to tar all those on the other "side" with the same brush, is offensive in itself.
I can agree that there are different "degrees" of offense, some things are more offensive than others, but to deliberately set out to cause offence, of whatever degree, is wrong.

Mike's hunger strike achieved something very important, which was being denied by the mainstream local Press and media (who never said a word about it). It was mentioned in the House of Commons debate by Tristram Hunt MP (Lab.), and brought attention to the matter and to the strength of Cornish feelings.
It was heard by Parliament and, in turn, by everyone across Britain who were watching on TV or iPlayer, so now there is wide awareness of the issue.

What does the person in the street really think of these unelected self seeking people now? The nats are sure to give the impression that everything in the garden is rosy, because they need to try and glean something out of MCs prank.

Anyone hearing that, and it was the only mention, would believe that the politician disapproved of Chappell's self promoting; "I'm going on huger strike until I feel ill," protest.
I wonder what Chappell's next stunt to get his name in the papers will be? I wonder how many of those in the Nationalist crowd will blindly follow him this time.
Word is that many are now seeing him as some sort of plant by the state, whose stupid and childlike protests are being done to discredit the nationalist cause.

This would be giving the nats more credibility than they deserve 鈥渟ome sort of plant by the state鈥 indeed, the nats are more than capable of discrediting themselves without any help.
Just look at the failed projects of the nats since The Rally Of Recognition, I will let you fill in the rest to save the nats any further embarrassments LOL.

I still write for Northcliffe by the way and haven't been banned from anywhere now. My 11 day fast got mentioned in the Gin Palace and you just wait till the next stunt - you'll love it !
Thanks for all the crocodile tears. My business is fine and I am now purchasing yet another residential property for rent to locals at a reasonable rate. Exasperating isn't it ? Almost as exasperating as seeing the comments deleted from here left right and centre. Hey ho. Your silly comments mean nothing to me and as I say Graham and I often laugh over it. After all, I am kind of making him work really aren't I ?
Love
Mike

Yes that sums your actions up admirably Mike 鈥渟tunt鈥 something to attract attention or publicity.
How about a copycat 鈥渟tunt鈥 of Lady Godiva that should go down well now that you have lost some weight.
But please leave things like hunger strikes well alone, because you are only making a mockery of those who have gone on before you.

Today I was able to employ three CORNISH people in my business, to buy yet another property for affordable rent to CORNISH people, to have media students from the University attached to me as researchers and this evening to enjoy a glass of CORNISH champagne in celebration. Yes my next stunt. I don't read the news, I make it. I don't talk about money, I earn it. And for your information, a few days ago donated thousands to an event in Kernow next year. get in my way, and I am afraid you will be knocked over. I now have politicans asking to come onto my radio programme. They know that I am passionate about Cornwall so I suggest that you tell your imaginary Cornish Nationalist parents where they can place their paltry 拢30,000 kid.

"Yesterdays news" does not appreciate his antics may catch the headlines but only for failing on two levels
1. To sell a message
2. To add credibility to a movement that is considered a joke
