Have you ever stood at Lands End at Sunset and seen the the lights on the Scilly Isles out there twinkling in the evening light and thought to yourself "How much is it costing us to keep those bastards in their drunken debauchery?" A small fortune I'll be bound! Not just the cost of subsidising ferries and airplanes but also Services on the Islands and the cost of policing and looking after the buggers. Let's be honest, people on the Scillies are only interested in two things; they spend all night looking for a drink and all day looking for a shag...or a cormorant...but Enough is Enough! Here is an idea; Evacuate the islands, move the people to towns like Delabole or St Stephens, remote,windswept and, just like the Scillies, miles from any civilization. Lease all the land on the Scillies to a Solar Panel company and cover them in those bloody mirror things or even windmill gizmos, we could make a fortune from selling the electricity to England! Cornwall wins...Oggley Oggley Oggle as we say "doon 'ere"!!!
I chose to become Cornish 3 years ago and since I have made that decision I have the right to tell the council a thing or two about the way they run this County to which I belong. Now that we have an enlightened Government in London that is tackling the true causes of the money woes; those scroungers and Benefit cheats that are bleeding the country dry of the taxes paid by hard working people such as Bankers and Mobile Phone companies, we need to be making bold, hard nosed, but realistic choices about our priorities here in good old Kernel.
Is the Council really targetting it's resources on the right people? I think not! There are huge swathes of land that we Cornish are paying for that should actually belong to others. The Council is pouring literally tens of pounds into the East of the County, money that ends up in Atlantic Village, Drake's Circus or Holsworthy Farmer' s Market. All along the banks of the Tamer River are towns and villages that are linked to Devon, that have little to do with Cornwall and for which we real Cornishmen are paying for. Bude, Saltash and Launceston are all places that Cornwall could shed or give back to their rightful owners and not miss! Cornwall doesn't have any interest in these places and the people there aren't interested in Cornwall...hey, even the Councillors in some of these towns don't think it's worth paying Tax to Cornwall Council!...Sell these places to Devon, make a few quid and get rid of some dead wood. Cornwall wins again...Oggley Oggley Oggle!

Easy PZ
Penzance has always fascinated me; the people there are so intriguing! If you think of Britain as roughly being the shape of a Christmas Stocking then, like in all Christmas Stockings the nuts collect at the toe. Penzance is like Glastonbury-on-Sea; I am sure that what attracts a lot of these people to move there is that Morrab Gardens is advertised as being full of 'Exotic Plants'...hard luck weirdos, wrong sort!!!
Penzance has a number of festivals where these yoghourt-knitters can parade up and down, making a nuisance of themselves and embarrassing the town; these travesties are well advertised and so are easy to avoid but what irks me is that it is possible to get 'ambushed' in the town by Morris Dancers and they can ruin a perfectly good evening for you without without any warning. Don't forget, you sell houses in these towns to people who travel 300 miles once a year to live in them for a couple of weeks and become part of the community, and so deserve a bit better entertainment than watching drunken, raggy arsed men hit each other with sticks! They can go and watch a hockey match to see that sort of nonsense.
Penzance Promenade is such a disappointment isn't it? It is a fine example of the town not making the most of itself. All that open space wasted. Why not have amusement arcades, cafes and gift shops? Give people a reason for visiting the place! If people want to just look at water they can go in their back gardens and look at their swimming pools; that's what I do! (They can emulate a stormy day by having their neighbours throw buckets of water and stones at them!...that's what mine do!) And talking of Swimming Pools, what is the point of the 'Jubilee Pool'? Another huge waste of space! If people can't afford to visit a heated pool let them use the sea...it's only next door for Christ's sake; then the site could be properly used on for holiday flats or a hotel and so attract a better, richer, class of person to the town!
Penzance definitely doesn't have enough Supermarkets! There is a prime location for one on the site of the Hospital once that becomes vacant later this year. It would be within easy walking distance of the town centre, admittedly it is close to a council estate and so may attract the wrong sort of people but the positive side is that once the hospital is gone the town will have fewer ill people hanging around spreading their nasty germs!
Penzance is a fabulous town, or it could be, once it has acheived it's avowed aim of severing it's links with the Scilly Isles and so reduces its traffic and business income and becomes a quiet little haven for second home owners.
