Rant.

I'm not going to describe the whole story here as I'm sure you all know the facts already, but:

The English government has stopped all funding for the Cornish language after 13 years.
This decision came on Thursday this week after Cornwall Council submitted its yearly application for £150,000 of funding for the Cornish language earlier this year.
The Cornish language has been protected by the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages since 2003, when the government's financial support began.

You can sign a petition against this decision here:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/128474

However, this decision has made me think about where and how the British government wastes money and how much this money actually is as the Cornish language gets only £150,000 per year, or to you and me, the price of a second home for many politicians in Cornwall.

Well, I didn't have to search much.

Accroding to the Daily Mail (yes, awful, I know) and Sky News (a little better) in 2013 (links below), roughly £120 billion! (£120,000,000,000)! So, 1,000,000 times more than the government gave the Cornish language each year. Let me say that again.

In 2013, the British government wasted more than ONE MILLION TIMES the value of the financial support for the Cornish language in the same year!

Okay, where did all this money go..? Let's look at some examples (from 2013).
  • The Minestry of Defence spent £22 on a light bulb.
  • Ministers spent more than £3,000,000 on biscuits and more than £45,000,000 on taxis.
  • the Home Office spent £427,000 on rubber bullets which the police couldn't even use!
I could continue this list, but you can read more in the articles themselves.

And the Cornish language isn't the only good cause being damaged by the government. The junior doctors are still fighting Westmister for fairer working hours whilst the NHS is still being reduced and privatised. - But the politicians still get pay rises, of course...

Isn't it better to to give money to good causes? To protect and seccure our heritage for the future?

I'm not saying that the Cornish language takes precedent over other causes, just that it is worth protecting, especially in times of change such as these.

Therefore, we have to do something against this situation to save our language and our Cornish from our government and its political idiots. Let's start a revolution to protect our language and culture.

Thanks for reading. If there are any mistakes in the facts or my Cornish (above), let me know.
