Default Cornwall wants to be a separate nation

In todays Times paper.

They have a Flag, and the Cornish language



[Sentiment recently led the Cornwall Council to
pass a motion supporting recognition
as the UK's fifth nation,
while a related Parliamentary petition calls
for granting Cornwall devolved powers and
formal recognition of its unique heritage.

The movement aims to preserve
Cornish culture,
promote self-governance, and achieve fairer
funding and representation for the region.]

Who wouldn't want to be separate from this place that's hurtling toward Third World status. Where we spend billions on illegal migrants while children live in temporary b&b and/or substandard housing if they're lucky, and veterans live on the street, stepped over by illegals on their way into 4* hotels. Government after government have torn down our fishing industry that's so important to Cornwall. Good luck to them.

The Celts were chased/driven/fled to Wales and what some called West Wales, the former Celtic kingdom of Dumnonia.

Wales didn't really exist as "its own country" until England overtook and unified the various principalities.

But Wales became somewhat separate/devolved from the rest of England, so why shouldn't Cornwall?

From Google :

[Cornwall is currently a county of England
within the United Kingdom.
It has a distinct cultural and historical identity,
recognized as a national minority and possessing
a unique language, Kernewek.
It also has a historical background as a Duchy,
which is distinct from the rest of England.]
