Re: Invasion
#61... A good example of intergration in Australia are the Afghan camel Drovers, who would probably be aghast if anyone called them anything else than Australian. The only thing that has to be sorted, and fortuanetly is now improving, is the mass of illegal immigrants, these are not refugees until they have proven otherwise, and if they care to do this they should join the rest waiting in camps for their turn to be legally placed in a country. If anyone thinks they have the right to go anywhere they want, and that is what we fought for, must be a bit confused, why the ordinary man in the UK took up arms. The propoganda of the time would have been for King and Country, and the future of our way of life. What most are upset about and have good cause is "our way of life". This is being removed at the rate of knots. JS

One is entitled to such a response when the post is a direct insult. I don't care if they are entitled to say what they want, manners dictates that they do not cast slurs on others. To imply that the only reason I am not a racist is because I live in Cornwall is an insult not only to me but to the good people of Cornwall.

#66 I am sure that the good people of Cornwall will rest easy knowing that you appear to speak for all of them, please don't shout at me again for this post, I am after all a very sensitive soul. I am also sure that the indigenous residents of Bradford, Birmingham, Bolton and numerous other northern/Midland towns will very pleased that you and the people of Cornwall, whom you represent will be pleased to enjoy the benefits of a new Khyber Pass, Khartoum, Karachi, Helmund Province residents when they settle in Cornwall and form their own little townships with new Mosques and Shariah Law that already abound in the aforementioned English townships. Be careful what your open heart wishes for. Incidentally no one called you a racist or non racist I was merely stating a geographical fact which can be gleaned from any National statistical database, but if you wish to take offense then that is your perogative, along with free speech, which you may notice is quietly being curtailed in one form or another through perceived political correctness. Kind regards Ivan

Re: Invasion
Did years ago see an old printed map, where Wales was as is near now, despite political boundary changes and Cornwall was shown as South Wales:
Respect all of Saint Piran or Pyran and they do have an own language: Celtic / Brythonic: Cornish.
Fellow Celts,

Chris there could be better words in your vocabulary than words of a derogatory nature.
