After Germany's planned invasion of Britain, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Adolf Hitler's foreign minister claimed first dibs on St Michaels Mount as his home.

That would have been ironic, Cornwall is in my opinion the most racist place in the uk.

Whoops. I'm confusing St Michael’s Mount with Mont Saint Michel. Silly Mottie!

Cornish and English in close proximity is multicultural enough for them.

I love the Cornish, but they are so independent!

Based on what? Not necessarily disagreeing just curious as to what you base that on?

It’s tongue in cheek, because @fillyboy is Cornish.

The cornish are very protective of their "national" identity.

Like some of the English.
Conundrum being though, when pressed, those same English struggle to define what their national identity is.

I don't want to get into too much of a discussion about it, I'm not Cornish, I'm from just outside London but lived here about 18 years. I've made many good friends but equally I have friends who will never fully accept me because I'm an outsider. If I didn't have white skin, I'd likely have no friends at all.
Coastal towns are better because of the annual influx, they've 'adjusted', some of the inland ex mining towns can be quite daunting.
It's improved in recent years, but I still see and hear things that shock me.
Having an Irish heritage has helped, some see me as a fellow Celt.
In terms of being racist, it's probably on a par with North Wales.

This.

No different to anywhere else, where your horizon is the same table in the local Spoons, or WM / Constitutional club.

Many people are afraid of change, and of different.
The smaller their world, be that geographical and/or educational, the more they feel afraid of.

Nail on the head.

Redruth and Camborne ? I’ve worked in both and I get that.

Until this weekend I’d forgotten how Cornish blokes can be.

I’ve got 30 years experience with Cornwall now. One of my favourite places in the world. But it can be so unpredictable

We had the “jam” first argument over the weekend….

Even then, they hate the emmets...

I'm with the Devonians, cream first. If you had toast or croissants, you'd put the butter on first then the jam, same with scones surely?
