pro-Cornish Actions: Visibility!

Objective 1 - Cornish Visibility:
Rather than acquiesce to enforced invisibility we must seek more ways of making ourselves visible.   This is an objective which can be pursued easily by anyone having the will and commitment to fight for Cornish Rights and which involves a minimum of time and energy.   The actions listed can, of course, be developed to encompass as much effort as the individual wishes to put to them and - who knows? - the interest may develop into something much stronger as awareness takes over.  The simple formula is 'do not whinge and whine but... do something!... Anything!'

Executive
Decisions
It is clear from anecdotal, and other, evidence that there is a process of the State threatening the various administrative functions within our Cornish Duchy to merge our Cornish services with those of the English county of Devonshire.   These threats range from such external statements as, "If you do not sort it, we will!", to internal quisling statements that "If we don't, the Government will impose its own...!".   Neither of these are acceptable to Cornwall and all Cornish decisions must be truly Cornish decisions.   The Government action must be exposed for what it is - 'Cultural Genocide' of the Cornish people.
a - Only pass resolutions which are right for the Cornish people.
b - Do not be coerced into promoting Cornish Genocide.
c - Stop being an 'anti-Cornish' Administration.
d - Challenge the legitimacy of Crown & Parliament.

f - Apply lateral thought to resolve Cornish issues internally.
g - Encourage others to do the same.
