'The Celtic gobbledygook of Kernow'

Correction 〓〓 Historic Cornwall. 〓〓

give over. The idea of Cornwall being in any way independent of the rest of England is even more laughable than the notion Wales or Scotland being independent. You write in English, I note, not the Celtic gobbledygook of Kernow. And I imagine the money in your pocket is pounds sterling with the monarch's head on it? This tiny island of ours can only function as a United Kingdom and punches above its weight on the global stage because of that.

my lord people like this drive me insane. whose fault's that that most cornish people can't speak cornish? which country and language has displaced and eradicated cornish?? you can't erase our languages and cultures and then turn around and tell us that our want for independence is invalid bc we don't have a distinct language or culture - we did, but you destroyed it, and now we have to rebuild it. and i suspect that if that person had commented in cornish, then there'd be people telling them to instead "speak the king's english" or whatever nonsense because the comment is on an english language post. and honestly it makes sense to reply in english considering the original post is in english. lots of us who can speak our celtic languages often don't use them on the internet bc a lot of the internet is in english, and if we want people to understand the corrections we make (like in the screenshot) then unfortunately we're only going to be understood and heard if we use english.

and the uk very much does not "function" if you actually open your eyes and pay attention to those of us outside of england. subjugating the non-english nations/peoples/languages does not make the uk "function". i hope the uk collapses within my lifetime, godbless. and i feel like the uk "punching above its weight on the global stage" is not great either and not something to be proud of or to want, when i feel like it "punching above its weight" definitely includes things like colonialism.
