The Cornish National Liberation Army, abbreviated to CNLA, was a paramilitary Cornish nationalist organisation that threatened to carry out acts of vandalism and arson against commercial targets that it considers to be English in Cornwall. ==History== The CNLA was founded sometime in 2006, allegedly by Stuart Ramsay born in Plymouth, Devon, and claims to represent a merger of the An Gof (originally founded in 1980 and reformed in 2007) and the Cornish Liberation Army. It claims to receive funding from organisations based in other Celtic nations and Irish American groups in the United States, and that some of its members have received training from the Free Wales Army, the Scottish National Liberation Army, and the Irish National Liberation Army, as well as the Provisional Irish Republican Army. In June 2007, the CNLA issued threats against celebrity chefs Rick Stein and Jamie Oliver, who own restaurants in the area, as well as to customers of these restaurants. A 36-year-old man was later arrested for making the threats. It has been described by the Cornish political party, Mebyon Kernow, as a 'pseudo-terrorist group'.〔 Dick Cole, spokesman for Mebyon Kernow, released a statement to various London papers, as part of an effort by mainstream Cornish political groups to balance some of the sensationalist〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article245741.ece )〕 commentary in the media. The group also opposes the flying of the English flag in Cornwall, and has threatened to destroy all English flags in the region.〔 There is little evidence as to the size of the CNLA other than an August 2007 interview in Cornish World Magazine in which Stuart Ramsay claims they have thirty members.〔"CNLA: the writing on the wall" in ''Cornish World Magazine'', Issue 53 (August/September 2007) pp.50–53.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cornish National Liberation Army」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
