Speaking as someone who lives on the 'tother side of the "pond" from

The party will now campaign in favour of the issue and hope to be able to enter a Cornish team into the next Commonwealth Games.

Speaking from Canada I can agree nutters all over, here in Canada the CBC is constantly hijacked by wackjobs offended by one thing or another. Political correctness is rampant at the CBC which is apparently a very horrible place to work, imagine a government run corporation is run horribly. I think that's why the Brits do a marvelous job showing up management in all its majestic stupidity.

I love how the gibberish buzzwords are constantly thrown around and then the camera pans to the actor looking like a deer caught in the headlights...brilliant ;)
