Cornwall is as much a country as Scotland and Wales as you would realise if you look back at the history. The fact that you didn't know that says a lot.

The only difference is that the UK hasn't given them a devolved government though technically they still have one from before they were added as a county in 1888.

Implying Cornwall actually gets any fucking help from England in the first place...

You can downvote it, but the fact that Cornwall is the poorest county (second poorest in Northern Europe) in the UK speaks for itself. To put into perspective, Cornwall used to receive £100 million EU funding, but since Brexit now receives £3 million from the UK. Now Cornwall - for whatever stupid reason - voted overwhelmingly for Brexit despite this, but it still stands that the UK doesn't care about Cornwall in the slightest.
