How this should have played out:

Cornwall: "We want to be a minority!!!!11!!!1111"
Government: "Stop wasting out time and money. Goodbye"

How much money would have been saved if that was the extent of the conversation?

Probably not enough to cover the costs of the utterly inevitable "human rights" court cases to Europe I'd imagine.

I don't see that this changes anything. They won't get any extra rights as such, because Cornish-ness isn't a protected characteristic under the equality act.

Basically (from what I can gather) they just get recognition.

[I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong...]

Maybe Lenny Henry can get a few of them jobs at the BBC

 

[Return of the Rev]

The predicted sort of negative imperialist tripe from a bunch of racists emmets

 

[Notters]

I hate all this divisiveness lately! Can't we all just get along?

 

[Albumen]

Equalities forms are being redesigned as we speak all over the land. Those who were born in Cornwall can now tick British, English or Cornish. I'm all for equalities but I'm not sure what this brings. People on this board are sometimes anti-Cornish but that could be said for the North .....

 

[El Sid]

Padgypaws and quilkins! I predict a new level of bitterness in the cream tea wars.

 

[Norman Potting]

Any Cornish based Seagulls care to enlighten us any racial abuse, prejudice or discrimination they may have experienced because of their Cornishness, perceived or actual?

I should not laugh at this but I did.

Any complaints and they will also go on the list

Not all the time there are comparisons between East and West Sussex.Sussex and Kent. North and South. The Scotch and Welsh. Scousers and Mancs. And that is just for starters.
