Hi, have any of you seen the website in Cornwall - Cornwall 24 ? It is frequented by nasty nutty nat (ionalist) types who believe in blowing up the Tamar Bridge and letting Cornwall float away. It isn't in England you see !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you fancy a visit and a bit of fun, take a look:
http://www.cornwall24.co.uk/My relative is a councillor and was amazed to see emails exchanged between County Councillors being openly recorded and mocked on Cornwall 24. This may be unlawful and in breach of many many rules, she says.
Apparently, one of the Councillors, Graeme Hicks (who exists because I have checked) passes all official matters to his brother, a 'Nigel Hicks' (whoever he is) who posts on Cornwall 24 as 'Hunlef.' There has now been a formal complaint made with Cornwall County Hall about this and quite right too. The councillor they are trying to set up has also been told about this whole biz and isn't at all happy.
I have been told that 'Councillor Hick's' brother is a member of something called the 'Cornish Stannary Parliament' (whoever they are) and that they cut down signs at castles a few years ago. My uncle (and aunt who has been a councillor for years) says they are a bunch of 'self appointed nutcases' and reading some of the things they say on Cornwall 24 I agree.
Also now the police have now been informed about the disclosure on Cornwall 24 of British National Party links to membership details which is part of a national investigation now going on so Cornwall 24 may be in breach of a whole load of laws about that. Whatever you might think about the BNP !!!!!!!!!!!
My relative reckons that everyone on that site is barmy and that the fund they are trying to raise, £100,000, will fail dismally. With about a month to go, I think so as well. There are many more important things for £100,000 to be raised for, even in Cornwall. How about for the homeless ? How about for some of the hospital appeals which help people with real problems ? I have just done a 'google' search on Cornish Fighting Fund' and something very interesting happened. Second only to the actual site itself is a second site -
http://mudhook.wordpress.com/category/c ... ting-fund/ . Now this is well worth a read and I for one, agree with what this site says.
The people on the other Cornwall 24 are in a complete world of their own and not aware of the real problems which people face like keeping a roof over their heads and paying the bills, food, water, electric and so on. This is what the 'other' Cornish Fighting Fund site says and most sensible people in Cornwall agree and want nothing to do with people who cut down signs at ancient castles and who waffle on about a long dead language. I for one am glad these nutcases are only few in number. Looking at their names, I guess about 10 - probably their age as well. They seem to forget that most people just vote Lib Dem in Cornwall and then get on with their lives.
