Cornish
nationalists (both of them), who argue that Cornwall has never legally been a
part of the UK, are making progress: the EU will be giving them protected
national minority status, like the Welsh and the Scots.
This follows logically from the designation in
2011 of the Cornish Pasty as a “Protected Geographic Indication” by the EU. (Although
in my opinion the pasties one buys in Cornwall are even worse than the pseudo-Cornish
ones in London.) This is reminiscent of
how the growing popularity of putine
in the 1960s anticipated the rise of Quebec separatism.
