Cornwall Devolution - This Is Just The Start

Hi DSG, good to see you, as it's been a while. Hope all is well.

Yeah, I suppose I could try and figure it out, but the problem is that with links or pictures included in posts on TFS, since I only use my phone now for anything internet related, the posts often run off the screen with no remedy for scrolling. So I gave up.

Doesn't sound very relevant to anything anyways since nobody can figure it out.

Think of it like this, it's the same as giving Alaska self-government. Yes, it really is that unimportant.

Even if they made Yorkshire self goverment. Would it really matter.

My daily routine would probably still be the same.

Florida has a lot of cheesy people.

Yes, it has been awhile. Great to see you here again. I hope you're doing well.

It's unimportant rambling.

No, but your more likely to get an affordable hit or some afghani brown
or a 3 litre bottle of diamond white for less than 2 quid. Which you can then use as a pipe to take some fine columbian if you really wanted.

Probably a poor analogy, as giving Alaska self-government would mean giving all states such rights, not just Alaska. It would be strange and unheard of here to grant one state rights but not the others. As far as significance, that would depend on what areas of self-government that would be. If it is just transportation issues, then it would not be so much of a big issue since states pretty much already take care of that on their own. In fact, there is a lot that states take care of on their own anyways.

I have a holiday home down in Cornwall. Cost me a packet but it will be nice to retire to in a few years time. Lovely people the Cornish and its probably the loveliest part of the country. i wouldnt want to learn the language though, its too much like welsh. i feel a bit guilty about owning a property there that we stay in only two or three times a year but it was too good to pass up. I am sure the Cornish will do something about incomers in the future. that must surely be on their agenda.

Being serious about this topic its important i think to give the Cornish some say over their own affairs. they suffer dreadfully from lack of investment by central government but somehow manage to not only keep their heads above water but prosper. The county is a net food producer for britain so if they are given more power to control the price of their produce they might not be so completely screwed over by the big players. Not only this but if they get control over their own education programmes there will undoubtedly be an increase in Cornish identity which could lead in time to increased nationalism. In twenty years they could be having a referendum like the scots especially if they have made their economy strong. Cornish devolution is no joke and the OP, who lives there would know that i should think. Strange that she is silent since making the original post.
