"Cornwall is rather different to the rest of England; it has its own language, culture and even its own flag (which is flown all over the country), they are only part of England in name only and there are not too many “locals” who can say they are proud of being “English”"

nonsense - Cornish is not spoken by more than a couple of hundred idiots

most of the population were born outside the county and moved there to retire, go to college or become "artists" (hence its a minimum wage economy)

they don't have a different culture at all -a couple of special events such as the Furry dance do not a culture make I'm afraid. Otherwise they watch the same TV, movies, listen to the same music, read the same papers and drink in identical pubs to the rest of England

they complain about the UK Govt and the EU while taking more cash from both than almost anywhere else
