I also note that the Cornish word for Cornwall is "Kernow" rather than "Cernou" which somewhat diminishes tha argument for continuity (the Welsh is "Cernu", compare with "Cymru" for "Wales".
Well that is surprising, usually the nationalisms of the smaller Celtic fringe places tends to be more civic-orientated and left-leaning, and certainly not racist. You do live in Cornwall, right?

Which proves both that Scots will support of teams when it suits them, and that not supporting England has more to do with Anglo-Scottish relations than football.
On the other hand, they sell England tops at Ibrox and a lot of Rangers fans like to wear them, to the dismay of everyone else.
