New book in Kernow - arrests to follow ?

Cornish rights campaigner, John Angarrack, has launched his latest book entitled 'Scat t’Larrups? - Resist and Survive.'

This follows on from his previous books, 'Breaking the Chains' and 'Our Future is History' have both had a huge influence on the political outlook and attitude of many ordinary Cornish people, with some stating that it was not until they had read the arguments presented by Angarrack in his books that they 'woke up' to their Cornish identity and the suppression of their rights as a people. 'Breaking the Chains' and'Our Future is History' both concern themselves with the on going issues of constitutional deception, cultural assimilation and the neo-colonialism of the English system.

Copies of Angarrack's books have been confiscated by the Devon and Cornwall police under different circumstances, including all the copies owned by Cornish campaigners who were arrested in police raids last year. His latest book, 'Scat t'Larrups?: Resist and Survive', looks at what happened during the period of the arrests and attempts to set events in their proper context.

Mr Angarrack, who enjoys near cult status amongst Celtic Cornish activists has said:

"[The book] might also provoke another round of police raids."

The book is available from: http://johnangarrack.co.uk/ (if you dare to buy it - safe outside of UK but within it - who knows ?)

As the website says:

"Scat t’Larrups?Resist and Survive.
Publisher: Independent Academic Press
Date of Publication: 2008 Pages: 330Style: Hardback
ISBN: 0 9529313 54
Cover text: The year is 2007 and Government react to what appears to be a co-ordinated threat to national security. The Secretary of State sets normal affairs of Government aside to hold two days of crisis talks with her advisors and the future king is consulted. Dawn raids by dozens of armed police result in suspected terrorists being rounded up at gunpoint. Enemy flags, instruction manuals and documents in a foreign language are taken as evidence. High profile personalities are offered special protection and the press hint of a plot to blow up the QE2. The tension abates only after Government and judiciary conspire to intimidate the community into compliance.
A Tom Clancy thriller? No. The events described above really happened – in Cornwall. But what is the truth behind the sensationalism and why did Government take such extreme measures against Cornish people? John Angarrack’s follow-up book to Breaking the Chains and Our Future is History looks at what happened during this period and attempts to set events in their proper context."

Why not buy it and fly in the face of the facist colonial police in Kernow !
