ALL Under One Banner is organising a rally for greater democracy and autonomy for Cornwall.
The group’s Kernow wing (which is Cornish for Cornwall) is due to take to the streets of Liskeard, in the east of the county, to call for greater self-determination.
The rally is being organised for July 8, and is set to start on Barras Street in the town’s centre.
Announcing the event, AUOB Kernow said: “Kernow faces major economic, social, and cultural issues affecting its people daily.
“Self-determination, to which Kernow has a historic right, will allow its people to revitalise democracy to address these issues, such as homelessness, hunger, the destruction of our towns, villages, and historic green spaces, a lack of meaningful jobs with a living wage, and others such as loss of support for our language and cultural programs.”

The group went on: “The outside promotion of Kernow as a holiday playground takes jobs and homes from local people and takes economic prosperity out of Kernow. It replaces true industry and commerce with low-paying temporary jobs for the tourist industry.
“High streets no longer have shops to provide for the community’s needs but to cater to holidaymakers.”
The group further noted that the “distinct identity of the Cornish people was declared under European Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities”.
AUOB Kernow said the “family-friendly” march would include speakers and music.
