A why agas oll wheg,
Notice of demonstration against Devonwall and other Westminster impositions!
Anti - Devonwall Peaceful Protest 11am to 4pm Sunday 30th October, 2016 Polson Bridge, Launceston, Cornwall
The lady Bards of Gorsedh Kernow organising this protest have given us the go ahead! The protest is on!
On Monday 10th October, 2016 one of them is to be interviewed by the BBC up in Plymouth about the protest and why we are all so angry about 'Devonwall'!
Polson Bridge has been chosen as the place for this peaceful demonstration as it is the bridge over the Tamar where Michael Joseph An Gof and Thomas Flamank led the Cornish army into England in 1497.
All are invited and we already have a bus filled up with people of all ages and vocations attending. Some folks are taking their children as this is really their future!
Following enquiries from other groups who are worried about what is happening to Cornwall at the hands of Westminster, ALL are now invited to join us, not only anti 'Devonwall' but also those sick of the Westminster Government, the cut backs, the lies and deceipt we are constantly shown. We welcome folks from wherever.
This is a peaceful event. We don't need the violence seen elsewhere. Bring your Piran flags, pasties, whistles, banners and singing voices.
We need to make a clear statement to Westminster here!
Kernow bys vyken!
