Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú

No doubt all you compliant Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Úlone mainly military background anglo-imperialist stooges and plants are all biting your nails working yourselves up into feverish anticipation in your heartfelt hopes at the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Radio Anglo-Centric ANTI-Cornish-Culture bunker that the funding WON'T come through!
Royalty sycophant Churchfield's daily 07:00 token 'Dydh da!' doesn't 'cut the mustard' and definitely 'butters no parsnips'!

Just to give a little "balance" here.



The B.B.C. World Service.

It's a mystery what 'balance' you are attempting to demonstrate there,Slimslad - a year of Welsh to Patagonia from 1945 to 1946 ?

Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Radio Anglo-Imperialist ANTI-Cornwall currently airs the grand regular total of 5 minutes of weekly programming in the Cornish language - a 5 minute news bulletin at 5 o'clock on Sunday afternoons. What is that paltry token gesture doing to 'inform' and 'educate' listeners about and familiarise them with the Cornish language? Nothing much more than diddley squat. Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Radio ANTI-Cornwall presenters (with only one or two notable exceptions) walk, talk, act and present like tourists that all fell out of a coach together at the bus station in Truro just yesterday.

They all(with only one or two notable exceptions) sound like their stopping by while on the road to somewhere else...

Perhaps not the "ANTI-Cornwall" aspect of "balance", but is there not Cornwall language programming on independent radio?
I could perhaps clear up the "mystery" of the "Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Radio Anglo-Imperialist" "balance".
The World Service, (even with recent cuts), broadcasts in 27 languages, World-wide. As I have said before, the B.B.C. makes an "easy target" for a tiny minority.

Those who value and seek to promote and support Cornish Identity and Culture in the face of Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Anglo-Imperialist Hegemony and Ethnic Cleansing appear to be a fixated and obsessive target for an even tinier minority, Slimslad.
Here is a jolly good read to help readers of Mr Smith's blog understand better the scandal - aided and abetted by the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú - that is going on right here in the UK:

Read the link. I am not "offended" by the use of the word "genocide" in relation to Cornwall, "cultural" or otherwise. I am dubious, however, as to the wisdom of using such a word to describe Cornwall. I was also interested to read the experience of the Pitcairn People, although the "time-line" would seem to end in 1996, just 4 years before a major criminal investigation began on Pitcairn into alleged abuses by some Pitcairn People.

You are certainly an expert at throwing red herrings into the air, Slimslad!
'offended' - why quotes? - no-one was suggesting you might be.
'genocide' - the more readily acceptable to some term 'ethnocide' is also deployed there.
'describe Cornwall' - the terms are not being used to describe Cornwall. They are being used to describe inter-territorial, inter-national and inter-cultural relations.
'Pitcairn People' - no relevance to this topic whatsoever and you appear to be drifting in your final words in your comment immediately above into an Anne Robinson style denigrating and stereotyping insinuation entirely consistent with the points raised by AC earlier.

Why the "quotes"?
Because I was quoting from your link.

"If the concept of equating the Cornish Problem to genocide is thought to be offensive and in poor taste then I would suggest that there is much ugliness around the world which is 'tolerated' because it is 'unseen' and all that I am doing is bringing just another aspect of this ugliness into view. "

Pitcairn People,(another example from your link), argued that the abuse of their children was "cultural" in origin, and therefore "acceptable" and that British and Australian law did not apply to them and therefore the abuse was not against "their laws"?

It was a link provided to inform and give additional insight to Mr Smith's blog readers which, hopefully, consist of more interested individuals than just yourself, Slimslad.
AC has not been involved in producing the content of

AC finds the content of that web site well argued, cogent, coherent, insightful, wise and generally reflective of the facts of the fascinating and disturbing story of Anglo-Imperial Ethnocide as practised upon the indigenous people of The Celtic Nation And Duchy Of Cornwall.

"AC finds the content of that web site well argued, cogent, coherent, insightful, wise and generally reflective of the facts of the fascinating and disturbing story of Anglo-Imperial Ethnocide as practised upon the indigenous people of The Celtic Nation And Duchy Of Cornwall."

Really? I don't think this quote is "coherent" or "wise".


"In the late 1930s, when the outside world was becoming increasingly vociferous over the Nazi's treatment of the German Jews, German newspapers, fed by the Nazi propagandists, tried to counter criticism from British sources by claiming that the English should be the last to complain, since they had 'persecuted' the Cornish from time immemorial."

It appears to be a statement of historical fact on a number of fronts, Slimslad. Simple as that.
You really need to mull that quotation and its various contexts over a bit longer, Slimslad, as you attempt to segue into your usual anti-Cornish ranting slot.
As usual, you appear to be attempting to deviate Mr Smith's blog into your peculiar and usual areas of denigratory obsession. A complaint will ensue if you do!

"As usual, you appear to be attempting to deviate Mr Smith's blog into your peculiar and usual areas of denigratory obsession. A complaint will ensue if you do!"

"Deviate"? Who posted a link to a site that has nothing to do with the subject in hand?

Well it does actually, Slimslad, because, if you examine it carefully you will find the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú's role in cultural marginalisation of the Cornish in their own land is addressed.
It therefore raises the question of whether we can believe Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Radio Cornwall is genuinely interested in supported and promoting the Cornish Language - which it would naturally do on a more genuine and fulsome basis already if it were not a tool of Anglo-Imperialist domination talking and presenting daily like arriviste strangers in a strange land and putting out Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú top-down franchise material and orchestrated simultaneous UK wide Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú local radio 'talking points' that bears little or no relation to what is actually going on in The Duchy from day to day.

You (and Mr Smith's more open-minded blog readers) may care to delve a little deeper at your leisure:

"´Ç·±è±ð²Ô-³¾¾±²Ô»å·±ð»å

–a»åÂá±ð³¦³Ù¾±±¹±ð
1.
having or showing a mind receptive to new ideas or arguments.
2.
unprejudiced; unbigoted; impartial."

I think "open-minded" is not the phrase I would use for your friend's site.

Clearly that was the use, application and meaning in mind when the term 'open-minded' was first used above by AC, Slimslad - or should that be Simplelad?
You would do well to pay attention to those definitions.
In the meantime, while you practice cultivating open-mindedness, please desist from lying your head off - AC is not a 'friend' of the author of the site referenced. That high quality and erudite site was shown to help you and Mr Smith's other readers understand better the deep, historical and contemporary dimensions to the issues raised by Mr Smith's initial blog above.
Here is another helpful page that may assist the open-minded reader enormously with putting things in a wider context:

For those readers of Mr Smith's blog who may wish to familiarise themselves with that lovely lyrical soulful Celtic language called (in that 70% non-English lingua franca we call 'English') 'Cornish', here is the best site for keeping up to date with the activities of the Cornish Language Partnership:
