Recently, Steph and her fiancé came in for much abuse from 'up country' for wishing to use the Cornish language at their wedding.
The comments made via the London based media was truly shocking.
Even local media Facebook pages became littered with vile remarks.
Sadly, media outlets fail to accept responsibility for what their followers write and say and it is a well known fact that anything relating to Cornwall and the Cornish national minority results in racist remarks. This fact was recently reported on by a Cornish academic.
We made sure to let Steph know that we were upset to hear this and that we have been carefully recording the increasing instances of anti Cornish abuse and racism endured by Cornish folks and always report them to the authorities. You can read the latest shocking updates here on a special website we have established to reveal just what Cornish people endure: https://kernowmatters.wordpress.com/blog/
Some Cornish people are reduced to tears as a result of the racism.
Last year, we sent a bouquet to a receptionist who endured anti Cornish abuse which really caused upset.
So we arranged for a lovely bouquet to be delivered to her by Flower Power in Redruth.
Steph said:
"Thank you so much KMTU for the beautiful flowers. We received alot of abuse online for wanting our wedding in Kernewek, it's extremely heartwarming to know we have the support of lovely people such as yourself. Thank you again, Kernow bys vyken xx "
