Online comments about Cornish people
'the locals... keep asking stupid questions like 'where do you come from'?'
'The Cornish are a bunch of twats. Why anyone would want to live amongst those that haven't jumped on the evolutionary bandwagon is beyond me. They're still looking for that opposing [sic] thumb.'
'Cornwall hates outsiders.'
'I know what you mean though, this insular attitude that they have. Can't stand them and I would never live there because of it.'
'I am a regular visitor to West Cornwall and the insularity among many of the locals is quote [sic] astonishing. I have met some who have never left the county, even for a holiday.'
'The Cornish are not affable yokels - they are suspicious, hostile proud and unfriendly to outsiders. Even the Romans didn't try to settle any further down than Devon - they thought the Celts were savages.'
'outsiders who become pillars of the community' are resented by the cornish [sic] people as they are perceived as taking over their locality'
'Instead of using the word Crockle how about hard working Londoner who funds your county.'
'What a bunch of small minded muppets without the holiday makers this county would choke on its own inbreeding!!!'
'If you left Cornwall to the Cornish, it would just turn into a non-achieving, hopeless overgrown desolate trogg infested wasteland. It's probably what they deserve, although they would be the first to complain about it.'
'culture of exclusion'
'force you off the pavement'
'The Cornish complain about 'incomers' and emmits, taking jobs, clogging the roads.'
'..dead end county where people are mocked for being the hand that fed them.'
'Without us emmits there would be no tourist trade and the county would be even poorer.'
'While it is a beautiful county is can also seem very bleak and unwelcoming to 'outsiders' and for that reason I don't think I could ever live there permanently.'
'I know not all Cornish people are narrow minded racists but we are both rather fed up of being reminded we aren't local and we are responsible for the high property prices.'
'I grew up in Cornwall - it's a beautiful county ruined by the bigots who live in it. They are happy to have the tourists come visit them but mock them for not quite fitting in doing so.'
'The Cornish need tourism to survive... but a resentment runs deep. Nowhere else outside the South of France will you find more attitude towards visitors than in Cornwall, and a deep contempt, handed down from smugglers, rebels and those who struggled with the unforgiving weather, terrible seas and harsh landscape.'
'I wonder how the Cornish lot would get on without all that 'English ' tourist money coming into the county. Ungrateful bastards the lot of 'em.'
'Maybe, being celts, you are just very good at whinging and blaming others, employing thinly-disguised bigotry. What do you want, lots of attention and other people's money?'
The (south) Welsh are fine, but the Cornish, the north Welsh, the Scottish and Scousers are literally the four worst groups of people in the country.
All four groups are generally small-minded, spiky and humourless. They tend to take themselves far too seriously. I strongly advise you to explore the more warm, cultured and self-deprecating parts of England - you might be pleasantly surprised.
' It's a magical place, but also a pagan place, always "other". If you have a second home there, you're worse than a child cannibal, though no one will ever say it to your face. The visitors who nourish it hardly ever suspect or come near its true character.'
