    Not exactly a balanced piece of reporting was it. It happily reported the UN mistakenly called the language extinct a few years ago, but didn't go on to say it is now correctly classed a "critically endangered". I detected a hint of disrespect from Channel 4 in how this topic was reported.

That most people in Cornwall who want independence always go on about how there “ancestors” were Celtic and were Britons and all that and I’m not going to assume that you aren’t but I have a feeling that most people in Cornwall aren’t even descendants of those original Celtic people. There families could have moved there and after the settlement of the Anglo-Saxons they probably got displaced and scattered
