| Way off the mark: BBC interpretation of Cornish people (left) versus the real thing (right) |
by General Alistair Baines
There have been a spait of complaints regarding the BBC's depiction of Cornish people in their flagship drama 'Jamaica Inn,' in which a group of smugglers mumble incoherently whilst dawdling through fields. (a far cry from the real thing, apparently. - ed.)
Cornwall has been the subject of many hardships since the fall of the Cornwall-Devon wall, but Cornish nationalism has seen a peak in recent years as Cornish people have been declared an ethnic minority.
