Flags.........& Politics.

Disproportionate to what?

Cornwall Council has more Reform Councillors than from any other party. It has 28! The Lib Dem’s have 26 whilst Mebyon Kernow, the independence party, has just 3. There are more independents that Labour and Tory combined!

Pride in the County here transcends political affiliation. People are Cornish before they are anything else so establishing Cornwall as a separate member of the UK is a shared desire.

53 in favour to 22 against independence is disproportionate to the general population as per your claim of there being very few genuine nationalists.
Cornwall is no more special than Cheshire or Kent despite the over inflated view of the locals.

What do you care?

If you want to fly a flag symbolizing a Turkish saint, then fly it.

I’ll have a word with the English parliament to see if they would change it for something more suitable…shame there isn’t an English parliament to debate this with…

 

[Wisbech Eagle]

If only I could fly the St George flag as a sign of pride in my country instead of liberal types telling me I’m racist for doing so…

You could, and should. If you are genuinely proud of your country. All of your country and not one particular view of it.

What upsets people is when it isn’t or is flown illegally in places which interfere with the highway.

The Cornish flag is flown appropriately. By people from all parties and political viewpoints.

I just wish that those of left-leaning ideas would display the British flag en-mass as their way of saying "It's our country too, mate."

As is Tower Hamlets, no doubt…

St. Andrew and St. Patrick weren't Scottish or Irish but no one seems to have an issue with them.

How do you know what the general population think?

Cornwall has a lot more that’s special than Cheshire or Kent. It has its own language, not just dialects. It has a distinct Celtic culture. It was once a separate nation and remains a Duchy with its people recognised as being a national minority.

It was a response to your post at 8.23.
Cornwall is certainly unique in having an economy based on tourism and yet they constantly complain about tourists.
It has it's own language but how many actually speak it?

The economy is partly based on tourism. We complain about any traffic implications, as do the tourists. Those who rely on tourism love them.

Nobody speaks Cornish as a first language but it’s being kept alive.

Partly based? Tourism represents the county's largest sector with an estimated £2 billion in annual visitor spending and supporting over 35,000 jobs.

You really do let yourself down with rubbish like this.

You know exactly what is going on in this country, and flags are merely a symbol of resistance.

 

[Stirlingsays]

This is all I'll say on this but when there were near riots outside Southport and Rotherham, I don't recall anyone on here coming out and condemning it outright. At best it was mitigated by phrases like: "well the people had no other alternative because the government isn't listening"

By the way, I agree that Jones was treated far too lightly. He was, after all, promoting violence with his comments and gestures.

Were you on here condemning BLM? Or at the bbs where I suspect you were originally? I very much doubt it.

While I don't condon the violence shown against the innocent and Police the structure of our institutions today is anti white working class and it puts 'minority concerns' first.....though these 'minorities' are now a majority is an increasing number of areas thanks to people with your politics.....Well done for bringing sectarianism to Britain.

Errrr....You are aware are you not that those riots you refer to were due to the murder of three European girls by the son of African parents pushed onto this country by liberals and social liberals? The anger of those who rioted was fueled by the sheer revulsion and pain caused in the local community and the lies and half truths and double treatment dished out to white/European communities in their own country.

That's a bit low IQ for you.

We get this nonsense point from the left many times over about St George.

It's annoying because many other countries do this same exact thing over symbols and stories in their national heritage and I doubt they get this irritating 'oh but actually' nonsense from people wanting to p1ss all over it.

Yes Silver....and guess what, Camelot and the round table and the hunt for the holy grail came from embellished stories and wasn't fact.....This assumption that we don't know this is...again, irritating.

While I find this ridiculous, again because I don't know anyone who doesn't know the whole story is a myth much like King Arthur and is about national identity rather some kind of documentary about the real person....It's like someone trying to tell you that Santa Claus isn't real.....if people want the known facts about who St George was in reality then we have this from Grok:

St. George, the Christian martyr and patron saint of England and other countries, is traditionally believed to have been born in Cappadocia, a region in modern-day Turkey, around the late 3rd century AD. His father was likely a Greek Christian from Cappadocia, and his mother was from Lydda (modern-day Israel). While he was born in what is now Turkey, the term "Turkish" is anachronistic, as the Turks did not arrive in the region until centuries later. Ethnically, St. George was likely Greek or of mixed Greco-Roman descent, and culturally, he was part of the Roman Empire's Christian community. So, while he was born in what is now Turkey, calling him "Turkish" would be inaccurate.

 

[Stirlingsays]

It's part of this 'nose in the air' attitude towards English identity and nationalism.

Orwell was speaking about this back in the 40s about this patronising attitude he didn't like from within his own socialistic circles and as the generations went on it became the default amongst the middle class.

It needs to go....it really does because along with demographic shift it doesn't end well.

St George is a foundation myth, much as the Romans had one and many many others.

The flag symbolizes that Christian martyr and represents much of what the English identity became about....a kind of muscular Christianity that many wouldn't recognise today due to this regrettable shift to the left and the decline that's come with it.

The English are a northern European ethnicity that took principally Christian, Greek and Germanic influences into its foundation culture, language and along with the island's genetics formed what the English identity is: these isles remade the world and far far out punched others more likely to have done that....like France and Italy, Spain.....doing far more good in the world than ill.

The fact that a lot of its own modern day English middle class are ignorant or dismissive of this today is more their own personal failings than any problem with being English and our flag.

God knows what he did for Kebabs on a weekend or for a cheap haircut.

Err... yes, of course I'm aware.

We'd better watch out. Descendants of Africans. Mmm... It sounds like it might be an idea to send previous generations of Africans back, some would say: repatriation. Would you adhere to this view?

By the way, never been on BBS FYI.

Not condone but mitigate...mmm.

Lastly. Hey Penge, there's that 'liberal', again. Several instances of my point since you tried to dismiss it with your accusation that I was drunk and spouting rubbish. You've been unusually quiet since I've pointed this out before. Nothing to say?
