As someone born in another part of the territory known in Roman times as Dumnonia, I am at a loss to understand why a small number of people located in the small rump now known as Cornwall can validly claim to be anything special. How do these humpy Cornish folk know as individuals that they actually are of the Dumnonii people?
It comes as no surprise to me that yet another non-English person is seeking to stir the pot of controversy here in England. The so called Cornish Independence movement is yet another German inspired initiative designed via the EU to divide England. Here's a link:
Federal Union of European Nationalities FUEN PRESIDIUM
NB Who purports to represent GB (yes, GB!) from Ivy Cottage, Cornwall with a Plymouth, ENGLAND, Post Code! [Wot no representation for North Britain?]
Here's another link to remove any doubts about the connection:
