Kernow Matters to Us's blog

Information and attached photographs from the 'Yes Kernow' tea:

"Chy an Mor roundabout was extremely busy in terms of traffic during Sunday 24th October, 2021 and so we were pleased to put on a successful visibility action there.

The support received from passing motorists was incredible and it seemed that many were aware that we were due at the location having read about us on social media.

Craig was one of our team, loved by so many, and deeply missed, a Cornish Patriot, Bard, speaker of Cornish, historian, archaeologist, architect, and so very much more......

Craig passed away a year ago and his death has left a huge vacuum with Cornish people everywhere.

'Kernow Matters' (KMTU) has received the following release from the Cornish patriots of 'Yes Kernow' who have been very active throughout Cornwall this Summer drawing huge support.

One of our 'Kernow Matters' team happen to be driving west on the A30 at Innis Downs near Bodmin at the time and we attach a photograph taken from her car.

We thank our comrades at 'Yes Kernow' for their sterling efforts and also in further strengthening ties with Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Brittany with whom we share similar ambitions.

‘The financial impact of tourism in Cornwall: an assessment’

We are very pleased to enclose a link to a short on line paper prepared by that great Cornish academic, Doctor Bernard Deacon, who has, with others, been taking an objective look at some of the wilder claims made by those who financially benefit from tourism in Cornwall. 

As we all know, these claims are often picked up and run in the mainstream media who accept such assertions without proper investigation.

TOM MAZZONE SPRINTS TO SAINT PIRAN'S FIRST UNION CYCLISTE INTERNATIONALE (UCI) VICTORY

It was a big day in northern France as Saint Piran took their first win as a UCI Continental team.

And, coming a week to the day before the start of the Tour of Britain, the timing couldn’t have been better.

Stephen Bradbury, Ross Holland, Steve Lampier, Tom Mazzone, Ollie Maxwell and Jenson Young were among the 106 starters lining up for the 179km UCI (1.2) Grand Prix de la Somme

Remembering the bloody events of 1549……

A packed St Petroc’s Church, Bodmin on Sunday 15th August, 2021 saw a service commemorating the bloody events of 1549 when thousands of Cornish people were killed or violently put to death by representatives of the English establishment whilst defending their Catholic religious practices, Cornish language and Celtic customs.

1549 Commemoration

On behalf of Bodmin Old Cornwall Society, we bring you the following announcement:

We have been warning and warning of this. Anyone with any degree of sense could see this approaching. Cornwall is being both over marketed and inappropriately marketed and the Butler Model looms ever larger (attached - model applied to touristic outcomes devised by Professor Richard Butler)

This sort of over tourism is destroying Cornwall, its natural environment and causing a second homes crisis which together with Air Bnbs is making local people homeless. It is quite simply unsustainable.

Blocking the bridge……

The routes in to Cornwall have been blocked several times down the years and perhaps surprisingly, in recent times.

A rally involving 500 Cornish people and their supporters occurred in 2010 at Saltash and in a sea of St Piran flags, Cornish people marched along the River Tamar showing their disdain for a proposed blurring of the ancient border between Cornwall and England.
