Historical Note by Rodney Atkinson: The Cornish "nationalists" are a tiny group promoting the Cornish language (died out 100 years ago) and Cornish independence from Britain.
They have been stirred into action partly by justified anger at the destruction of the South West's fishing grounds by the EU's farcical Common Fisheries Policy and partly by the EU's promotion of "regionalisation" as a means of breaking up the nation states of Europe.

 The Cornish in Latin America
Some radical improvements in pumps were probably introduced to Cornish mines by German miners in the sixteenth century and henceforth developed.
The mining industry was believed by most governments to be the cornerstone of economic success and they looked to Britain, the ‘work shop of the world’ to provide not only the necessary capital, but also the technology and skilled labour to kick start the once great mining industry.
It was against this backdrop that Richard Trevithick migrated to Cerro de Pasco in Peru in 1816 to overcome problems encountered in the assembly and operation of the engines he had exported there in 1814, and the mushrooming of British financed mining companies across Latin America in the mid 1820s.

 Origins of the Hunter Labour Movement. By Dr Bob James
As it gathers speed, all obstacles to its progress must be removed from the track and passengers given a clear, one-sided view: The labour movement has, in addition, seen itself as being in opposition, not to the forward movement of 'progress', but to the fruits of that advance not being equitably distributed.

 Cornish Independence - A good idea?
Personally I don't see as much of a case for independence for Cornwall as there clearly is for Wales.
Of course its a good idea, but the only Cornish nationalists i know do not see independence as realistic, they want a Cornish Assembly (they see that as achievable and i agree) as the first route to giving power over Cornwall to Cornish people.
First off ill say that yes of course i support that cause but realisticly its way beyond reach for independence, i think the best to hope for is a similar thing to the lake district and make sure that the cornish get homes and no one else.

Theres a Cornish guy in work and he says things are really bad in Cornwall-theres no way local youngsters can afford the silly house prices caused by all the rich incomers-so they all move out to London and elsewhere.
At the moment Cornwall is part of the 'South-West Region' of the UK, meaning that all the major economic decisions relating to Cornwall are decided in Bristol, not in Kernow, its absolutely disgraceful.

Hardly a ringing endorsement for the party which you have had sympathy towards, at some time in the not too distant past, and a clear demonstration that the Cornish people have been numerically overwhelmed by in-comers who do not share the MK view of "independence".
More's the reason for looking at the constitutional issues in regard to the future of Kernow, combined with those areas which would be applied to governance when the Cornish are declared to be a national minority.
