If my skin was that thin I would not have any left. Not responding to you anymore, waste of time as you only see your side of the debate, never accept that anyone other than yourself could possibly be correct or have an opinion that matters.....you stay in your white middle class existence in probably the least diverse county in the UK, enjoy the scenery, but for now, Im out of your one sided biased debates..talking to you is like talking to porridge..theres an insult just for you!!!

Not responding to you anymore, For that I, and I expect most others on here, are extremely relieved. talking to you is like talking to porridge. Nah. Porridge is stiff, starchy and difficult to stir! I am much more like cornflakes. Crisp, bright and ready to serve. Coming back to Cornwall very soon..... An unwise and potentially illegal move. Police patrols looking for rogue interlopers from Devon trying to escape their poor understanding of how to serve cream teas and steal our pasties are particularly thick on the ground in Blackwater. Seriously though we all need to follow the rules and stay at home if we are going to beat this. Those who think they know better, or that they are entitled to get away with things, need to think again and start behaving responsibly.

I have no expectation at all of always being right. I am married so that hope was removed years ago. I do though dislike seeing assertions being made which are based upon a fundamental mistake, albeit one which is shared with many others. So far from me "needing help" I am doing my best, without any realistic prospect of success, to help you. I have no more sympathy for people celebrating their "blackness" than I do for people bleating about "whiteness". I want it all to stop and people to talk about culture and not simply skin colour. Of course prejudice exists everywhere. I make no excuses for any of it, even if I understand some better than others. However, we need to deal with those things we are personally able to deal with. So if you are prejudiced do something about it. That's the way to make a difference. Well thank you so much for trying to help me. Those of a politically ambitious persuasion prefer to keep these subjects simple. Skin colour is both suitably divisive and free from nuance. They don't like the messy and sometimes uncomfortable details getting in the way.

“Our” pasties? Watch out for the cultural appropriation police also shouldn’t you be celebrating the diversity of cream tea preparation?

The upstarts in Devon have had the temerity to try to make their own and even enter them in the Pasty World Championships. It's almost as offensive as Brighton thinking they have a football team which belongs on the same pitch as Palace. We had a bowls team from Exmouth visit us who were really nervous when it came to eating their cream tea after the match in case they offended some of the locals by putting the cream on first!

There was a similar incident in The Warriors.

This summer the G7 will be meeting in Cornwall. I bet the locals will really look forward to that. All those politicians and journalists extra police and of course the demonstrators and counter demonstrators etc. Couldn't happen to a nicer country The Carbis Bay resort area won't present too many security challenges. I guess the delegates will arrive at Newquay airport, which has a huge runway and transfer via helicopter to the resort. I doubt whether any of them will be seen by any of us. No doubt there will be some journalists invited to do interviews but I suspect they will all be inside the complex, which is quite large. Who knows whether there will be demonstrations but should there be I cannot imagine them affecting normal life here too much. There is only one main artery into Cornwall and it's easy for the Police to monitor and direct those who might want to take part. We'll see. The local reaction has been one of pride and that this event will give the area even more than the huge amount we seem to be getting at the moment.

Edited by Stirlingsays (17 Jan 2021 12.26pm) I had no idea that a local anti-fascist group existed in Penzance. Good to know. I don't though suppose it has more than a handful of members as fascism is not really evident here. You encounter the odd nutcase but it's a rarity. Their aims seem pretty benign and their activity not much to do with fascism, judging by the recent comments. "against fascism, racism, and right wing extremism in Kernow. Non-sectarian, pro devolution. What's not to like about that? Provided they keep to those aims and make their points peacefully most folk here would support them of that I am quite sure.

I expect this made the front pages of the local paper and counselling required for people at the scene. What will happen when real mistakes in Britain land in Truro? People here don't care! It's all just a tongue in the cheek pretence of rivalry to keep the tourists amused. What "real mistakes" do you anticipate landing in Truro? Are you planning a holiday here by any chance?

Here's hoping Antifa come to Cornwall in significant numbers and you all have a nice 'one nation conservative' picnic or something. All I want is for people to live their principles, so I fully support Antifa coming to Truro and for all the love and peace to be visited upon your goodself.

Mebyon Kernow is the party and all very caring people they are with a very genuine sense of public service, together with a somewhat unrealistic expectation of being a separate region, like Wales.
