I don't need you to misrepresent what I think or believe thank you! Although I do appreciate that, the paucity of your intellectual position is such, you are reduced to misrepresenting mine.
I do wish Cornwall to remain part of England as it is and has been for over 1,000 years. I also believe that most of the people living in Cornwall with the legal right to do so have much more in common by way of history, culture, customs and heritage than they have by way of any inconsequential differences.
You are perfectly entitled to express opinions about England and I, as a true Englishman, am perfectly entitled to point out the basis upon which you offer your comments. Yes, I think that a Scot presuming to prescribe what he thinks should apply in England should not assume that his words will carry as much weight (if at all) as those of the English. I say this against the background of Scots jealously reserving comment about Scotland to themselves mindless of the fact that it is part of the UK and significant changes there affect the rest of the UK, of which 91% comprises England. This is a position with which you've associated yourself.
You have also stated that you do not regard those living in Cornwall (amongst whom you include yourself) as English.
I do not believe that I am alone on this forum in recording opposition to your wish for England to be fragmented by some form of regionalisation.
In common with many non-English (usually Scots) you persist in making comparisons of Scotland with parts of England. For example, your comment in Post#31:

The South-east, Birmingham and the midland and the Northern cities subsidise places like this as well as Scotland.

In short, I regard you as being hostile to England as a nation in its own right.
I have refrained from calling you a 'moron' or 'neo facist', although I admit to suggesting that you are schizophrenic. I leave others to judge such things.
There is evidence that you have yet to fully grasp the meaning of the word define.
I trust that this post has clarified matters.
