Effectively the name means Wales of the Horn or Wales of the Headlands and the people who live there are Cornish, people of the horn(headlands). The Cornish name Kernow comes from the same roots albeit from it’s celtic roots.

Corn comes from the proto-germanic word kurnam meaning small seeds in reference to any grain or cereal which would become korn in old english before morphing again into corn. It’s why it’s called barleycorn despite not being at all related to maize which is what most north Americans mean when they say corn. Of course deeply simplified.


Heloin won't let me make jokes. Sad. :(

There will be no funny business in the serious Cornish independence thread.

Whoopsie.
Cornwall's idea of ​​independence is a mistake, just as they left the European Union. liberate overseas territories first.

An independent Cornwall could join the EU if they wanted to.
You show your imperialist enthusiasm very well with your articles. Where we differ with you is that autonomy doesn't really work. The end of nation-states protected by borders has come, it's time to become a union state. i support england mainland territorial integrity IRA etc. I think that terrorist organizations have no place in the united nations.

My imperialist enthusiasm as in Cyprus belong to Cyprus and not to Turkey, and my articles - well it's been years since I wrote an article and I'm pretty sure it was about fractals.
Then you support the IRA but oppose terrorists in the UN.

I defend the territorial integrity of Great Britain but characterize the so-called overseas territories as imperialism. We are constantly discussing this issue with my social democrat friends. They say that autonomy is a human right, but I disagree. Social democrats like me have a saying. "We will teach peasant children to play the violin", this is true in my opinion, wealth should be given equally to everyone.

Both Awareik Fairgunein and Hawi Marthal were convicted of second-degree murder. The public has a mixed response, with some agreeing with the sentencing and others believing the killing was justified. Presiding judge Aiktriu K.

Normally, I generally support the self-determination of those peoples who would wish it.

That said, Cornish independence would be absolutely inane and stupid. They would become the poorest country in Europe in a matter of months. There's nothing in Cornwall to build up an independent economy. Ireland's already the British Isles' tax evasion capital, so they couldn't resort to that either.

Someone needs to defend those dastardly pirates of Penzance and it’s noble of you to take up that mantel.
