The luck of the Cornish
4 commentsYet again the Cornish have had a sense-of-humour failure after "scrumpy and western" band the Cutlers have refused to go on the Justin Lee Collins Show, claiming the show was racist.
The scrumpy swilling, pasty munching, St Day-based band said they would not belittle themselves and their people (seriously, WTF? - Ed) by singing a version of a Westlife song in their West-country accents for shits and giggles in front of Louis Walsh, saying "To me this is as racist as telling a joke about an Irishman or a Muslim."
This about a man who has one of the thickest Bristol accents we have ever heard, and a man who got the A-Team back together. Legend.
They said: "Whenever people up country try to portray Cornish people, they seem to set out to ridicule us. Programmes like Doc Martin make us out to be in-breds who speak with funny accents.
"I would never sell my soul and that of my people for a cheap laugh for the benefit of a TV show."
At least we think that's what they said, it's hard to tell with their funny accents.
So now, instead of the Cutlers turning up and showing people we're able to have a little laugh at ourselves down here in the West-country, guess who will be performing instead.
Yup, you guessed it, the fucking Wurzels. Now if doesn't make us all look like combine-harvester-driving inbred bumpkins then I don't know what will. Result!

People need to grow a thicker skin and stop being such pussies about everything. Political correctness my arse.
....mmmm....Hostile to "outsiders" and rarely leave Cornwall......you should look up the defenition of "in-breds" cos its a scientific fact that 89% of Cornish are in fact in-bred.No offence.
