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 !"

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 !
