Dydh da/Good day Blue Skiers! 🙂 As Kernow (Cornwall) prepares for local elections on May 1st, it's important that parties continue the campaign for the return of Cornish autonomy that has been eroded the over past centuries of upheaval. Kernow was never England.

Decolonising our Minds – Didrevesiga agan Brysyow A Reply to One of Krann’s Six Ideas Krann raises fair points when they argue that colonial metaphors used to make sense of the Cornish experience in relation to the British state appear “anecdotal” and tend to rest on “overused narratives about…

"Mebyon Kernow - the Party for Cornwall, believes that the historic nation of Cornwall, with its own distinct identity, language and heritage, has the same right to self-determination as other constituent parts of the UK, such as Scotland and Wales" #CornishParliament mebyonkernow.org/policies/

So now, because Zelensky didn’t wear a suit or agree to Trump’s extortion, Trump freezes support to Ukraine… He wants Zelensky on his knees and Ukraine to suffer further hell, in order to pander to his grotesque ego. Presumably he also expects us all to thank him for this murderous betrayal.

French President Emmanuel Macron publicly interrupted Donald Trump to correct another of the US President’s falsehoods over Ukraine 👏

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

This can’t to repeated enough. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

Trump to the West Putin to the East.... and here we have this

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much. The real #TwoTierPolicing www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Dydh da! (Good morning) Blue Skyers from Kernow 🙂 'Bronn Wenneli' (Swallow's Hill) First recorded as 'Brunwenely' c1200, the highest peak in Kernow. A beautiful, descriptive early Cornish language place name that has been Anglicised to a meaningless, and frankly abhorrent 'Brown Willy'.

Absolutely spot on from Rory Stewart

Why do so many hate groups & domestic violent extremists feel the need to steal Celtic symbols they don't even understand? They're weak, but they're also ignorant. The Celtic cross and the triskelion have always been synonymous of peace, progress, life, universality, infinity, and connection.

Trump’s return only reinforces the need for Europe to strengthen its resilience & strategic autonomy in an increasingly unpredictable world. The UK needs to be part of that. There’s not a single challenge we face that wouldn’t be easier to address as part of the EU @europeanmovement.co.uk

Leader of Devon County Council seems to suggest that Cornwall is being insular and parochial by not accepting a Devonwall Mayor. The more Devon politicians make such comments, the more it proves how right we are to reject Devon control. They have no respect for Cornwall or our national status.
