Hello,

Thanks for sending us links to the UK Government Media Information regarding the Cornish people and to the Framework Convention.

We have removed all offending videos and upon further investigation, we found that many users content has already been removed from the site.

It may take some time for video search results and thumbnail images to disappear from the site but typically, this does not take more than a couple of days. Please be patient, as we assure you that the content has been removed.

For more information about our removal processes, please check out the following video: http://goo.gl/Dt5ZDw.

Yours sincerely,
YouTube Legal Support
The YouTube Team"
