Cornish Assembly

The UK's forgotten 'fifth nation' 〓〓 bbc.com/travel/article…

It’s never been about ‘independence’. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@YouGov British not English. Duchy and not county. Hence the strength of identity. >100,000 recorded their national identity as Cornish in the 2021 Census - an opportunity not afforded to the counties of England.

How strong is county identity in England? Cornwall: 53% have very strong attachment Cumbria: 44% Northumberland: 42% Devon: 42% Tyne and Wear: 41% North Yorkshire: 41% Merseyside: 38% Dorset: 38% West Yorkshire: 37% South Yorkshire: 36% Bristol: 36% Norfolk: 36%

📣 Cornwall Council’s Cabinet has backed a bold new set of priorities designed to tackle the Duchy’s biggest challenges and unlock its potential for the benefit of all who live and work here. More on this ➡️ orlo.uk/Cabinet_Backs_…

One week after Cornwall Council voted to recognise Cornwall as the UK’s fifth nation, a petition calling for the same recognition from the UK government has surged to over 11,000 signatures. Have you signed it yet? Link below ⬇️ Signed it already? Share the link far and wide!

Petition, currently at nearly 10,000 signatures, to the UK Parliament that the UK Government formally recognises Kernow/ Cornwall as one of the nations of the UK. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7113…

The past 30 years have seen Cornish people discovering that what they’ve always thought about Cornwall is actually the majority opinion, and that they’ve been taught to hide what they think for fear of being ridiculed. It’s time to say it proudly - Cornwall is a nation!

Sign the petition! If it gets to 100,000 it’ll be debated in Parliament. As a national minority, the Cornish have the same right to recognition as the Welsh and the Scottish. Retweet to reach more people ⬇️ petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7113…

📣 Cornwall Council Leader Leigh Frost has called for official recognition of Cornwall as the UK’s fifth nation - not as a slogan, but as a statement of fact. 💬 “Cornwall has the language, the culture, the identity. We have pride, resilience, and community spirit.”
