News from Kernow Matters To Us:

As will be widely known, 2016 saw the end of the Westminster Government's return of a rather paltry £150,000 a year of our tax money to support the continued growth and development of the Cornish language. 

This occurred despite the Government's signing of the language charter in 2002 and formal recognition of the Cornish people in 2014. 

Accordingly, a Freedom of Information request was lodged with the relevant Westminster Department seeking background material to cast light on this spiteful decision.

Between the 14th and 23rd of July 2016, twelve young Breton speakers aged from 13 to 16 years old, visited Cornwall and stayed with a group of twelve Cornish young people at Tehidy Park.

During this summer camp, they took part in many activities and visits, and shared their common heritage and roots. They spoke Brezhoneg, Kernewek, English, and also a bit of French. The Bretons are very motivated to welcome the Cornish for the return trip in Finistere in 2017.

'The Duchy of Cornwall comprises the County of Cornwall' (Government Legal Department)

We have all seen the work of constitutional lawyer and Notary Public, Dr. John Kirkhope, who has spent years investigating the unique laws governing the Duchy of Cornwall and who has written extensively about them. (John Kirkhope's website here: http://www.jkirkhope.co.uk/)

About forty of us protested during the The Examination in Public of Cornwall's 'Local Plan', at which property developers were given the floor almost entirely for the five days of the hearing. Thanks for those of you who turned out to make a public stand.
