CONCERN SPREADS THAT NEW £4 MILLION FOOTBRIDGE AT TINTAGEL CASTLE HAS MADE ATTRACTION TOO POPULAR - AND COULD DESTROY SITE!

Independent Cornwall Councillor Bert Biscoe "shocked by the scale of the crowds"

Possibility of 'cover up' in planning application made of Cornwall Council

Kernow Matters To Us (KMTU), members of which administer the 'The Cornish are a Nation' Facebook page and several others, has always expressed its concerns regarding the 'developments' at Tintagel Castle.

We are pleased and proud to inform you that Rick Rescorla, son of Hayle and proud Cornishman, is to be awarded the President's Citizens Medal, this being announced on Wednesday September 11th, 2019, the 18th anniversary of the Twin Towers, NY, NY, USA attacks.

That fine Cornish author, playwright and poet, Dr Alan M Kent has published his latest book, 'Turning Serpentine'.

Buy the book here: http://www.halsgrove.com/proddetail.php?prod=9781906551452 and it will be available at all good bookshops!

Branded 'the sinister underbelly of Cornish nationalists' by one Lib Dem Cornwall Councillor, a Councillor who accused this very group of being 'xenophobes' when we write expressing concerns about the bullying of Cornish people, this locally made documentary looks behind the headlines and reveals the true frustrations felt by a people not being properly represented by their elected representatives and who are subjected to ignorance and contempt by politicians at all levels: 

Two bellies identified - neither emailed to Councillor by belly owners!

Further to our earlier release made at 20:17 hours 28th August, 2019, a further revelation has occurred in respect of 'Bellygate'.

No names, no packdrill but a communication has been received by our campaign group, 'Kernow Matters To Us' (KMTU) which identifies the owner of the second 'belly' which Cornwall Councillor Dulcie TUDOR (Lib Dem) Threemilestone & Gloweth stated to journalists and various media outlets had been emailed to her and had caused her distress.

Firstly, we clearly and openly say that we at 'Kernow Matters To Us' do not condone or in any way support nasty, offensive or threatening images or emails sent to any individual, yet alone members of Cornwall or other Councils or public authorities.

CONIFA WORLD FOOTBALL CUP QUALIFIER - Bodmin Priory Park - Sunday 25th August, 2019

Kernow FA v Chagos Islands

A win in this international game for our national football team, Kernow FA! Keslowena Kernow! (Congratulations Cornwall!)

With the final score 10-3 to Kernow, this international match saw a commanding performance by the Cornish lads.

That said, both sides played a gentlemanly, fair and energetic game, lacking in any of the amateur dramatics seen when many other teams play.
