Latest regarding Tony Leamon - Kernow's answer to Michael Collins

RECEIVED TODAY:

Comrades - please support and spread this news which has just arrived in my 'in basket'. The media and press in Cornwall are weak and with a few exceptions made up of second rate journalists who are afraid of making waves with the authorities and which are police controlled. For too long the police have breached human rights in Cornwall and have walked free. Evidence of that to be found at:
http://cornwall-police-watch.blogspot.com/ and http://www.pinkpasty.blogspot.com/ (the fascist colonial police in Cornwall are taking action against Mr Lidbury by veiled threat to have him remove his website - the truth is too much for them you see) which points out that they are above the law, any law !

To the police to whom this e-mail is copied:

This material is forwarded to you and your must retain it and disclose it including its inserts and internet links under the terms and provisions of the Criminal Procedures and Investigations Act (CPIA).
It MUST be forwarded to the officer in case and recorded on the appropriate schedule (MG6 C) and disclosed both to the Crown Prosecution Service and to the lawyer representing Mr Tony Leamon who has been subject of an injustice at the hands of the fascist and government directed colonial police who cover Cornwall in a most corrupt manner.

Thanks, Tam Graham

CELTIC LEAGUE - PRESS INFORMATIONBAIL DATE FOR LEAGUE MAN ON TERRORISM CHARGE

Celtic League campaigner and Kernow branch treasurer Tony Leamon,will be appearing for at Camborne police station this Wednesday (2ndJuly 2008) to answer his bail, almost 10 months after he was first arrested on 6th September 2007 on suspicion of terrorism.

To give support to other victims of the British state's over enthusiasticuse of anti terrorist legislation, Mr Leamon has made a short video film of himself, for the Celtic League, to rely some of his feelings of having been on police bail for this extended period of time.

As will be seen from the video footage, Mr Leamon is in good spirits and has kept his sense of humour throughout, despite a very low period earlier this year when the pressure of the ordeal drove him to make a suicide attempt. The Celtic League has been campaigning on Mr Leamon's behalf sincehis arrest and the arrest of other members of the Cornish cultural and political movement at the same time. Mr Leamon, along with all of the other people arrested, were perplexed as to why the police had picked on them as part of the police investigation into the Cornish National Liberation Army/Cornish Republican Army.

Needless to sayMr Leamon and the other people arrested all maintained their innocence and denied ever having taken part in any criminal activity in the furtherance of their beliefs. With no or little evidence to go on,the police had to release the other arrestees from their bail andnow it is only Mr Leamon who has been kept hanging on.Mr Leamon has been due to answer his bail on 3 separate occasions(not including his arrest), but each time, after lengthy periods of questioning, his bail has only been extended further. Now Mr Leamon is hoping that Wednesday will be the fourth and final time he will have to visit Camborne police station on this matter. The Kernow Branch of the League are planning to hold a protest outside Camborne police station on the afternoon of the 2nd July and are requesting that all his supporters who are able to attend the protest to turn up at just before 1500. Those who are unable to attend the protest are encouraged to phone the Devon and Cornwall Police central number on 0044 (0) 8452 777444 (remember to include the 0 if phoning from the UK) and ask to be put through to Camborne police station, regarding Tony Leamon, not forgetting to state where you are calling from. Alternatively,emails can be sent to mailto:Police.Enquiries%40devonandcornwall.pnn.police.uk with the same message of support. Supporters are requested to enquireafter Mr Leamon's welfare, who is registered disabled and has a debilitating disease. If Mr Leamon is bailed once again, he may have to forfeit attendance at the Celtic League's AGM - due to be held in Dublin on August 16th 2008 - in accordance with his bail restrictions. If this is the case or if Mr Leamon is charged, the League may hold a protest outsidethe British Embassy in Dublin on the weekend of the AGM.

The old strange ways still go on in Celtic Cornwall

Will this spread to house burnings, people said so and I know it has it Wales recently, we attended a group burning at a remote location in the far west of Kernow (Cornwall) and on an ancient menhir site - a menhir being a standing stone. There were about 50 people there. Into my pocket I smuggled a dictaphone (small tape recorder) The items thrown onto the fire were a St George's Flag and a doll wrapped in the Union Flag - the hatred there was incredible and surprised even me. We were not allowed cameras. Some wore kilts, some jeans and combat jackets and the main man so to speak a long white robe - not blue like the bards and claimed he was a Druid much older than the Bards. The words I recorded were this (excuse spellings, dictaphones don't do that for you !):

Through the year’s circle of Samonios, Dumannios, Riuros, Anagantios, Ogronios, Cutios, Giamonios,
Simivisonios, Equos, Elembiuos, Edrinios and Cantlos, our Feasts of Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane,
Litha, Lamma, Maban and Samhain,
Celtic Archangel and Lord Protector Saint Michael look down upon us and our countries of Alba
and Saint Andrew, Mannin and Saint MaugholdMaughold, Cymru and Saint David, Eire and Saint Patrick,
Kernow and Saint Piran and Breizh and Santez Anna
Send the King of birds amongst us, the Chough which carries the spirit of the kings and in particular
Your High King, Arthur, to be returned as promised together with his knights, advised by the everlasting
Druids and descendants immortal of Merlin and in whose complete memory today we make this
Burnt sacrifice - then placed St George’s flag and doll wrapped in Union Flag describing it as a
Wiccan English image upon fire -as an offering calling upon you to bring death and destruction upon the
English and their children and their children’s children who are visited upon our islands like a
scummy plague. May they burn like these offerings.

All those present then cheered and a container of honeyed wine called mead was passed around. I was scared but impressed !

BASQUE REFRENDUM BILL APPROVED

BASQUE REFRENDUM BILL APPROVED

The Basque Government has voted in favour of a referendum bill introduced by Basque President Juan José Ibarretxe last month.

A majority of just one was enough to give the President the power to hold the first part of a referendum on 25th October 2008. The referendumwill ask two questions, the first of which will ask if people arein favour of a "negotiated solution' to the ETA 'conflict' if the armed group end its violence.

The second question, which will be put to a second referendum asks if all Basque political parties should work toward an agreement on what it calls the Basques 'right to decidetheir future'.The Bill was passed by 34 votes to 33, with 7 abstentions and one non attendance. The one vote deciding vote came from the Basque CommunistParty (Euskal Herrialdeetako Alderdi Komunista - EHAK). The EHAK decidedlast week to give their limited support to the bill, despite having been given the cold shoulder by Ibarretxe earlier on in the year when their party was looking at a possible ban by the Spanish state.
However, the referendum bill has not been without its critics. Insidethe Basque socialist/nationalist movement the bill has been criticized,among other things, for not going far enough, being too complicatedand only applying to the three out of the historical seven provinces the Basque Country - Biscay, Alava, and Gipuzkoa. Labourd, Lower Navarre,Soule (in the state of France) and Navarre (now an autonomous region in the state of Spain), will not be included in the referendum vote.The bill has also been heavily criticised by Basque socialist party(PSE-EE) and the Popular Party (PP). The PSE-EE has said repeatedlythat if the bill was passed by the Basque Government, they would seek a court order to prevent the referendum going ahead on the argument that the bill is unconstitutional. Ibarretxe has said in the past that he wants a future Basque country 'freely associated' with Spain,with its own separate legal system and European Union representation.In 2005 the Spanish Foreign Policy Minister said that this could not happen under an EU Constitution – perhaps one of the reasons why the Spanish Government are still so eager to push forward the Lisbon Treaty today, despite the Irish NO vote.President Juan José Ibarretxe's blog: http://www.ibarretxe.com/bitacora

BASQUE PEOPLE WE SAY UNITE AND GO FOR INDEPENDENCE ! BE BRAVE AS SCOTLAND WILL AGAINST THE BASTARD ENGLISH IN 2010 !

Tony Leamon - Kernow/Cornwall's Michael Collins shows bravery in the face of the Imperial & Colonial Police

This just in from the Tony Leamon support group. A direct and very dignified message from Mr Leamon himself:

"My temperament is a lot better these day because I think the police are finally showing how weak their case is. I am almost looking forward to my next bail hearing on July 2nd.

Of course this is still affecting me and my family. My father,94, is still terrified of the police at the door. In my entire life I do not remember the police having to knock on our front door in anger.

My mother, who is slowly recovering from her bi lateral mastectomy, is keeping a brave face on all this, as all mothers do.

One thing that has given us all strength is the support I have received from complete strangers. Everything from people who recognise me in the street, to emails from other continents. Every time I type my name into Google, and see all the hits, my heat soars. Not just for me, but for all of the little people who fall foul of the state.

I answer my bail on Wednesday, July 2nd, at 3pm. I'm going to Camborne Police Station again. I have spoken to the West Briton, our local paper, and they hope to have a reporter present. I ask that anyone who can make it stands outside the police station, with a Cornish flag, Do so politely, and with the dignity we all have. If you cannot make it, give them a ring, stating it is non urgent, and then state you are enquiring about the progress of Mr Leamon's case.

Please do not use any aggression, or intimidation with them. They are only doing their job.

I thank all my friends, from all over the world who are giving me their support.

Kernow Bys Vyken - Cornwall forever !"

Kernow/Cornwall - 'There may be trouble ahead'

Cornish militants have been at it again and we are forced to asked when the English Imperial and Colonial Establishment will listen ?

Not only has spray canning being resumed but also the threat made against the English Flag of St George being flown in the Country.

Known as the 'banner of blood' (not only in Kernow but elsewhere in the other Celtic Nations and also, quite oddly, by more than one right wing English group) 'the loathsome flag' and the 'blood cross' due to its bloody history, activists have again stated clearly that they will be removing such insults across Kernow.

I trust we can all support the Celtic Cornish here in the other celtic Nations as well, where the sight of this insulting image would not be permitted.

In short, the message seems to be, 'remove this reminder of English superiority now or face the consequences !'

We recently found this little ditty on a Cornish webpage which says it all:

'Loathsome flag of blood red cross
Cause of many a Cornish loss
With face as white as sun bleached bones
Despised in all good Celtic homes

Alban, Kembry, Kernow all hope
For freedom from the Anglo's yoke
The right to determine own destiny
No shackle of English autocracy

To stand as equal partners in the world
With fair taxation for a fair day's toil
Local work, decisions and lien
To stand again as free men'

George Wimpey averts more St George flag burnings in Kernow !

A press release from over at the Celtic League's Media office. Great news for Kernow. How often do the English need to be told - Kernow is a Celtic Nation under Colonial Occupation. The St george flags are illegally flown in that country and should be taken down at once ! The English colonialists have been warned about this time after time, but as noted in an earlier posting, they do have thick skulls !

WIMPEY - ST GEORGE'S FLAG ISSUE - A POSITIVE RESPONSE

Wimpey the builders have confirmed that they issued a corrective circular to news sources in Cornwall following concern expressed by the CelticLeague after it announced plans to include the Celtic country in a celebration of 'St George's Day' by flying the Saints flag at their sites in Cornwall.

The Company have said that they did not wish to cause offence and say they recognize that Cornwall has its own 'rich and diverse culture'(See below).

The Celtic League welcome the positive response from the company.

"Dear Sir/Madam ,

George Wimpey would like to apologise for any offence caused by our St George's Day promotion on April 21st. The promotion was run throughout southern England and the press release was issued to all regional media. We recognise that Cornwall has a rich and diverse culture and celebrates Saint Piran as their patron Saint.

It was distributed to Cornishman, The West Briton, Cornish GuardianSeries, Cornish Times.

Yours sincerely

Janine Davey Associate Sales & Marketing Director George Wimpey Exeter"

Wot - No Saint George? No thanks - this is Cornwall !

Sent to me by Tom Graham:

WOT – NO SAINT GEORGE? NO THANKS - THIS IS CORNWALL !

Strange things are happening in a little land somewhere to the South West of England. Of course, I refer to Cornwall, otherwise known as ‘Kernow’ by some of its Celtic inhabitants.
St. George’s Day, March 23rd. dawned in Cornwall but there was a positive glut of Saint George’s flags seen draped across many English Counties.
Those brave English patriots at Bude in north Cornwall decided to raise the red crossed white banner at 9AM over the weather station. By 10am, it has disappeared and local police were called in to investigate. A man had been seen taking the flag down and making off with it but who the man was remains a mystery. Diligently, officers fully recorded the crime and broadcast an appeal for information.
http://www.buxtonadvertiser.co.uk/latest-south-west-news/Flag-of-St-George-stolen.4017855.jp
Later in the day, construction company, Wimpey’s released a public apology for upsetting the Cornish people by encouraging its workers in Cornwall to celebrate Saint George.
Following howls of protest and letters and scores of e-mails, Janine Davey, Wimpey’s Associate Sales and Marketing Director officially apologised and stated that the apology would be made public in the same local press where the company had advertised its support of England’s Saint.
http://www.cornwall24.co.uk/Article960.htm
On another Cornish website, one English patriot moaned that his Saint George’s flag had been pelted with eggs. On the same website, comments referred to the flag as the ‘blood cross’ ‘banner of blood’ and ‘foreign emblem’. On another website, one poster said that to fly the St. George’s flag in Cornwall was alike to ‘flying a swastika over Jerusalem’ and that the only flag for Cornwall was the St. Piran’s flag, a white cross on a black background. According to local news reports, more of these were to be seen on St. George’s Day than the English flag even though St. Piran had been celebrated by record numbers on and around his official day in the Duchy, March 5th as well as by ex-pat Cornish people across the globe.
On BBC Radio Cornwall, Dick Cole, a local councillor and leader of Mebyon Kernow (translated from the Cornish language as ‘Sons of Cornwall’) was asked his opinion on Saint George’s Day and was careful not to dismiss it outright but informed listeners that perhaps Saint Piran was a little more relevant to Cornish people, who may not be, well, English but more closely related to other Celts around the fringes of the British Isles.
No sign of the English Loving Cup of St. George in Truro this year either although it may well have been smuggled in. Last year, its appearance in Cornwall’s only city sparked widespread demonstrations and outcry in the press and media.
A group of people who remained nameless demonstrated their feelings on Englishness in their own way, by burning a Union Flag at an ancient site in Cornwall, apparently in protest that the site is currently owned by English Heritage rather than a designated Cornish Heritage or British Heritage body.
Although the media generally portrayed a widespread celebration of St. George, the patron Saint of England but also of many other nations and states, cities and quite bizarrely, sufferers of syphilis met with mockery not only in Cornwall, but also at the hands of BBC Radio 4, where Elvis McGonagall read a short poem entitled ‘By George!’ much to the hilarity of many listeners:
“Once more unto the breach, dear Morris Dancers, once moreJingle your bells, thwack sticks, raise flagonsCry “God for Harry and Saint George!”Gallant knight and slayer of dragonsPatron saint of merry England –And Georgia, and Catalonia, and Portugal, Beirut, Moscow Istanbul, Germany, GreeceArchers, farmers, boy scouts, butchers and sufferers of syphilisMulticultural icon with sword and codpieceOn, on you bullet-headed Saxon sonsFly flags from white van and cabBut remember stout yeomen, your champion was TurkishSo – get drunk and have a kebab”
(http://www.elvismcgonagall.co.uk/)

Congratulations to the real Cornish freedom fighters ! Keep up the good work and remember that other Celts have learned that the English will not go unless postive action against them is taken. They have little time for democracy or public opinion unless it is their own !

The English & their Imperial System

By their nature, the English like to possess, to overwhelm, to deny and to destroy. They have an inherent superiority and arrogance. This was again revealed recently in a survey when the English were described variously as 'insular' 'arrogant' 'binge drinkers' 'quarrelsome' 'self important' and so on.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1939201/Rough-Guide-to-England%2C-an-irritating-place.html#continue

This is confirmed in the subsequent postings on many websites and newspapers which carried this article.

The English can easily be identified as being shaven headed, the males with more ear rings than the females, covered by a variety of tatooes, wearing a football shirt normally a size or two too small and celebrating the fact that their third rate football team won the football world cup some 42 years ago.

The fact that the Irish gained independence from their Empire 80 odd years ago irritates them as does the growing possibility of Scottish independence in the aftermath of the 2010 referendum.

The English never recovered from loss of Empire and as a result of this are expected to fight to retain some possessions which are not their own in the form of Cymru and Kernow.

They love to cause upset by flying their St. George's Flag as a symbol of superiority and will commonly use phrases such as 'English' Passport, 'English' registered car and so on as the majority do not understand the difference between England and Britain.

They are very militaristic although do not realise that their armed forces have reduced considerably. Anything European, including the Euro, is mistrusted because through the eyes of the English, Europeans are a lesser species.

Individually charming but when in a crowd, dangerous, the English believe the world owes them a living and as recent poll results show, are becoming increasingly right wing and insular.
