Indeed, the feelings are not intense but they are there. Most people ideally want autonomy./

It invariably is. I wonder how many people - esp. Scots and Welsh - jump on the autonomy for Cornwall bandwagon just to 'get back' at England.

Not invariably. And it is bound to cause some tension however but that is natural when it is Westminister denying further autonomy.

Sure, I believe in England, but more importantly than that I consider myself a Westcountryman, and I consider Cornwall to be part of the Westcounty.

Well I suppose that is better at least. Most of this anti-autonomy from the English is due to vague nationalism which glories in as large and powerful England as possible.
