Subject: RE: "Darkie" Day - BBC Radio 4 on "The Untold"
An aspect from a Cornish perspective which is touched on in the programme is the problems which arise when local folk can no longer afford to live in Padstow - which has a direct impact on the May Day 'Obby Oss as well. If people from outside (i.e.England) either as second-home owners or visitors ,as well as Diane Abbott MP start criticising from a distance, it isn't surprising that the local folk feel under threat and clam up as a result. Cornwall as a whole has experienced massive emigration of its population , and little immigration, apart from those buying homes in retirement.
