International Football with real principles! - Dignified Cornish footballers assist to highlight cruel British Government

CONIFA World Cup Qualifier Match - Cornwall v. Chagos Islands - Bodmin Priory Park - Sunday 25th August 2019 - KO 4PM

The Kernow Football Alliance and Chagos Football Association are to join forces this Sunday in a celebration of culture and diversity during a special day of events at Bodmin’s Priory Park.

Please look at the 'before and after' photographs below which depict a scene of none other than what we consider to be vandalism, as a developer building 'executive style residences' (whatever the they are other than the fact that they will be beyond the affordability of locals) sweeps aside a quaint, ancient stile and public footpath in Lelant to allow for house building.

Before:

Following eleven written official complaints lodged, including one by 'Kernow Matters To Us' (KMTU), a breach of the Code of Conduct has been proven against Cornwall Councillor Dulcie Tudor (Lib Dem) Threemiletone.

In a Decision Notice received from Cornwall Council dated 20th August, 2019, it is stated that the Monitoring Officer having considered all evidence submitted found Cllr Tudor to be in breach of the following articles of the Code of Conduct:

Para 2.1 You must treat others with respect

News release from Cornish Solidarity:

The entire Langarth saga was encapsulated in a remark made by a former Cornwall Council CEO to BBC Radio Cornwall that ‘’The Developers Own Us’’.

 Many Cornish people openly speak of the developer involved in Langarth as being ‘’dodgy’’ given that the developers track record thus far has done nothing to dispel that perception.

WATCHED BY TV CAMERA CREWS, ASTONISHED SENIOR COUNCILLORS SPEAK WITH PROTESTORS

On the day that a full Council Meeting occurs, hundreds of peaceful but angry protestors arrived at the Truro 'Kremlin Kernow' HQ of Cornwall Council to protest at the appalling way upcountry developers are altering Cornwall, its landscape, heritage, public services and indigenous makeup.

New government funding to preserve Cornish culture language and heritage welcomed by Cornwall Council - Cornwall Council Media Release 

A new £200,000 fund will help support and preserve Cornwall’s rich language, heritage and culture, Communities Minister Lord Bourne announced on 5th July 2019.

For years, we have been telling people about the Anglocentric BBC and of its underhanded ways. Now that the TV tax is to be imposed on those aged 75 years and over, more and more are agreeing with our stand.

The miserable, overpaid BBC executives should hang their heads in shame.

Sign the fast growing petition. It's time to abolish the BBC television license.

The quality of BBC programmes do not reflect the price of the TV license. It is far too expensive for the majority of people and should be abolished.

They may not have been as impressive as the Extinction Rebellion demonstrations seen in London and elsewhere, but slowly, people in Cornwall are waking up to the fact that there is something inherently wrong going on in Cornwall with overdevelopment destroying our green and pleasant land.

Easter weekend saw protests break out in Breage and Polzeath.
