Whilst Cornwall is, obviously, considered part of England, it does have historical reasons for considering itself as distinct from the rest of England.

The have their own language for one thing. Not many other parts of England can boast that.

They consider themselves one of the celtic nations (along with Ireland, Scotland and Wales).
I've got my own language, it's called Bollox, therefore I declare me independant

When does it stop?? Shall we have individual counties becoming "nations" which are as poor and insignificant as Luxembourg???

History is something people pay a lot of attention to when it suits them, and something they ignore when it doesn't.
