...de Cornwall 24:
In your opinion, how has Cornwall changed in a last ten years?...
...Cornwall has changed for the better in that people are becoming more aware of their Cornish identity and language than ever before. Also it is becoming more public…
…Regarding the sale of homes, I am in full agreement with 'Cymuned', the Welsh language and housing campaign group, who want all homes to be first advertised locally for several months, before they are put on the market in other areas."...
… I suppose that this has developed over hundreds of years of cultural, legal and political erosion by an English system that rules with a soft smile and an iron first. As Joshua Fishman puts it the 'soft gloves that mask but do not change the iron fists that are still there inside." Of course Fishman is talking about the Celtic languages, but this could be equally applied to the cultural movement and the self determination movement too….
