Cornwall Live has just published an article about Cornish nationalism by Graeme Wilkinson on its website. It would be fair to say that this follows the widespread and irresponsible reporting of the "fake news" of alleged terrorist activities in Cornwall.
One of the initial questions in the interview focused on what it means to be a Cornish nationalist and I have decided to also share my response on this blog.
People often ask me what it is to be a Cornish nationalist. The answer is quite simple. Cornwall is a historic entity with its own distinct identity, language and heritage – it is a nation.
Every person who seeks the greater recognition of the nation of Cornwall or campaigns for self-government for Cornwall or positively promotes Cornish identity, is therefore, by extension, a Cornish nationalist.
What is important is that the nationalism of Mebyon Kernow is inclusive and outward-looking. I am particularly proud that we campaign for a better deal for all the people of Cornwall and are never afraid to make a stand on global issues with significance far beyond our borders.
I believe that being a member of MK is a positive statement of commitment to Cornwall and about making a real difference to our local communities.

Just a thought, Dick. MK has, on its website, an excellent model of a proposal for a Cornish Assembly. However, it's hard to find unless you know it's there. Can MK make this much more publicly visible? I think that, if more people saw it, many more would support it.
