When the custody officer asked her nationality she apparently insisted on "Cornish". Although brought up there, her father was a clergyman from Oxford and she lived in London. I flinch and cower whenever I see a “Kernow” flag now. Funny how many you see in England.<br /> As I come from a line of English folk on both sides with no influence from other countries, home or overseas, for at least 10 generations, I am one of those people who cannot take any overt pride in my racial make-up for fear of being called a racist. I may pretend that I’m German. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=23147#post-62801 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 14:18:43 +0000 Manifestations of Baboonery 62801@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>be reasonable my reply was not meant to appear remotely shitty.

As the son of an Irish Roman Catholic (with a Welsh surname - 'go figure' as our American friend might say) and an Anglo-Scots Protestant I'm only too aware of the absurdity and fundamental stupidity of nationalism, religious bigotry and 'my tribe is better than your tribe' bigotry in general.<br /> No Celts, Saxons, Angles, Jutes, Danes, Romans, Normans, Huguenots, Italians, Germans, Jews, West Indians, Asians or Solomon Islanders were harmed in the making of this post. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=23147#post-62767 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 10:26:44 +0000 Manifestations of Baboonery 62767@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>I'll address your points in order.</p> <p>Oxbridge: I am neither casual or racist. A bigot and jingoistic (ironically of course) perhaps, but never racist. Aside form which the Cornish are not a race.</p> <p>be reasonable : nationalism is never good, just look at Scotland! Interestingly when looking into the background of the Sons of Cornwall I stumbled across an interesting article which makes quite a good argument that “Celts” are an 18th construct and not really a distinct population. A bit of a nightmare for me as I’m a Celt, I have Irish grandparents.</p> <p>Ironduke: Thanks. I’m annoyed though, I wish I remembered to work “moi luvvver” into the story.</p> <p>If I’m honest I felt a bit bad writing this! I love Cornwall and I love Rick Stein, actually it’s only really Eric Pickles I’m not a fan off and he gets off pretty lightly! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=23147#post-62731 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 07:47:30 +0000 Ironduke 62731@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I live in Cornwall.

There you go - not difficult is it? Stars. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=23147#post-62721 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 06:34:13 +0000 Oxbridge 62721@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>As a 12th generation Cornishman, I would like to complain about the casual racism in this article. On the other hand I can't really, since my grandfather had the foresight to escape to Twickenham. I do like pasties though. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=23147#post-62717 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 00:25:33 +0000 Manifestations of Baboonery 62717@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p><strong>Rick Stein to own the souls of every Cornish man, woman and child following a “tea-room” deal with the Government</strong></p> <p>After successfully buying the entire village of Padstow in the early 90s and turning it into Cornwall’s leading tourist attraction, <em>Padstein</em>, Rick Stein, Birds Eye’s top chef, has today announced he has bought the souls of every Cornish citizen in a deal estimated to be worth £1.</p> <p>Eric Pickles, Secretary of State for Communities, Local Government and Morbid Obesity commented on the deal: “Rick made us an offer we couldn’t refuse. The Government and the electorate are gut sick of the Cornish leeching tens of millions of tax from hardworking English families, only to hear them piss and moan about tourism – their main export and sole source of revenue after pasties and casual racism. He now owns the Cornish lock stock and barrel and he’s welcome the sun addled ingrates. He can drive them in to the sea at Penzance or send them all down tin mines for all I care.”</p> <p><img src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSK9DAfiP9YeVC23y7nVOBuf6C8S4N4Z5-ZdFmlrmWikJSaht3TwA"><br /> <em>Pickles: “The Cornish I can take or leave, Cornish cream teas on the other hand…”</em></p> <p>Rick Stein, fish and chip shop owner and celebrity manic depressive, said: “I love Cornwall with all my heart but what I love more is finding ways of exploiting Cornwall for commercial gain. Now I own the Cornish the opportunities are endless, we are looking into the possibility of selling them to tourists as pets, if we can manage to get them house trained.”</p> <p>The deal is not without its critics, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, net curtain shirted painter and decorator has been the most vocal. The pair fell out after he distorted the local housing market in Port Isaac by buying 11 fishermen's cottages to keep his shirts and velvet jackets in and then, in a move resisted by the fishy locals, bought the village outright as the ultimate "post post-modern sculpture".</p> <p>Commenting on Stein’s latest move Llewelyn-Bowen said: "I'm double fucked off about this. It's bad enough he's been trying to get Port Isaac off me and make the impoverished locals, locals I impoverished, live and work in another one of his theme parks but now the cheeky shite has bought everyone's incorporeal essence. It's an outrage. </p> <p>He went on the add: I'd rather get cluster fucked by Devonshire Custard farmers than sell my wardrobe, or indeed my soul, to that jumped up Filet-O-Fish peddler."</p> <p>Dick Cole, leader of the hobby political party Sons of Cornwall, when asked about the sale said: “Despite speaking English all day everyday I don’t understand your question. But what I will say is I’d like Cornish independence for our economically unsustainable county, all tourists to piss of back home – leaving behind their holiday money so we can buy our children shoes. Cornwall is for the Cornish and not for sale.”</p> <p>Adding: “I’ve just inherited a lovely little fisherman’s cottage that would make a great holiday home, if anyone’s interested.” </p>
