Cornish nationalism

Angarrack's campaign to revive Cornish culture and language featured in a 2005 article in the European edition of Time Magazine.^[2]

Political campaigns

Angarrack was one of the founder members of Cornwall 2000, an organisation based in Bodmin, Cornwall. The group lobbied the UK government over the specific exclusion of the Cornish from the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. They were, however, unsuccessful in raising sufficient funds to take matters to court, and the campaign was dropped.^[3]
