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 ÂŁ150,000 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 ÂŁ150,000 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 ÂŁ120 billion! (ÂŁ120,000,000,000)! 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 ÂŁ22 on a light bulb.
  • Ministers spent more than ÂŁ3,000,000 on biscuits and more than ÂŁ45,000,000 on taxis.
  • the Home Office spent ÂŁ427,000 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.

Kernow(ek) bys vykken!

MiSkriBa 25 - 01/30 - Korsen

 Otta ni, MiSkriBa nowyth ha vyvy heb postya omma a-dhia'n diwettha mis Ebrel! 😬 Mes bledhen aral, assay aral. Hedhyw an prompt o skrifa bardhonek a dhevnydh terminolieth ilow po art na wodhyen vy kyns, ytho y tewisis vy "korsen".  Here we are, another NaPoWriMo and I haven't posted here since the last one! But another year, another try.  Today's prompt was to write a poem using music or art terminology that is new to me, so I picked "kinetograph".  Korsen Y kopi kors Y kway an kowr A gemeras.  Dre dan den Daffar delit Hag a hag a.   Lost y lergh Yw bysyel bras Yn tibenn skwith. Kinetograph   It copies movement  It moves the giant  That took.  Through human fire Gears of joy Which go and go.  The route of its queue So digitally grand Endlessly tired.

Here it is, the final poem of #NaPoWriMo 2024! Today's pormpt was to write a poem in which the speaker is identified with a character from myth or legend, as in  Claire Scott’s poem “ Scheherazade at the Doctor’s Office .” The legend I chose is the story of Jan Tregeagle , a magistrate who sold his soul to the devil and started completing pointless tasks so that he would not be collected. An Travyth My a sinyas gans goos, Yn ynk, nag yn goos, Mes ow goos a skollyav Dhe gollenwul an travyth. Paperyow a wra bern, Ha dhymm ny vern, Rag bern yma res preder Ha dhymm yma’n travyth.
