Impoverished Cornwall: Tory Bigot Sees Food Banks as ‘Step Forward’

 Another good Cornish post, seems to come from someone in the know who’s from outside of the UK.

Much of Cornwall (situated on the South-Western tip of the British Mainland), is in many ways reminiscent of parts of rural Scotland, with its red bricks and Cornish Gaelic place names. Historically, this remote area represents an early British culture that escaped the devastating clutches of the invading Romans, Danish and German (Anglo-Saxon) tribes. Today, the urban and semi-urban proletariat live more or less in a total economic and cultural impoverishment (which sees a rampant encouragement of ‘racism’ and far-right support), with a small bourgeoisie owning all the property, and Local Councils, elected councillors and MPs all being people who do not come from (or live) in the areas they dominate. The local people are so educationally impoverished that a recent report stated that in a number of areas of Cornwall, five year old children were going to school still wearing nappies, and unable to even say heir own names. As this is the case, unemployment rates are high, and what jobs there are, are low-paid with little or no prospects for promotion or self-improvement.
