That's certainly not my experience. My experience is that most are proud to be Cornish - most don't care for an assembly or independence. It's certainly nowhere near what I've encountered in Wales, even in relatively passive places such as Cardiff.

True enough. But how far this extends to support for greater autonomy is up for debate. I know plenty of Cornish people who don't want it, plenty more who don't care.

I agree that most people consider their daily lives far more important, which is probably why the issue is not a high priority.

While I'd support greater autonomy (as I would for all Counties in England), I don't want Cornwall to be treated as a separate Country, quite simply because it's not.
