There is an independence not yet discussed on this forum. That independence is the independence of Cornwall, a little peninsula sticking off the west of England into the Atlantic. Cornwall is widely considered to be a separate Celtic nation, like Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Brittany. There's a Cornish nationalist party, Mebyon Kernow, that advocates for Cornish devolution and independence.
In a 2015 survey, half of people in Cornwall identified as "only Cornish not English" - not even 5% said the opposite. Another quarter identified as "more Cornish than English". But some polling doesn't agree: in 2019, one poll said that 62% of people in Cornwall consider themselves English. The Campaign for an English Parliament, apparently with nothing better to do, suggested that Cornish activists should just give up. But Mebyon Kernow clapped back, pointing out that a sample size of 200 is unreliable and the findings conflicted with those of more reliable polls.
Cornwall has a proud history of rebellion. They rebelled twice in 1497, and again in 1549. During the English Civil War, they sided with the Crown to protect their own privileges. One of them even got thrown in prison for trying to proclaim an autonomous Cornwall. This tradition of rebellion continues even today, as Cornish terrorists threaten to bomb and burn English-owned businesses and homes.
What do you think, NSG? Personally, I don't support Cornish independence. Honestly, it doesn't really make any sense. The Cornish economy revolves almost entirely around tourism, and although the Cornish hate English tourists most of them wouldn't have any jobs without their presence. Also, their language died out and they had to make a conlang to replace it.
