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'
