- Northern Ireland - some autonomy, an assembly and various provisions under the Good Friday Agreement, but a degree of military occupation. (Very POV) British Troops stationed in Britain are not military occupation. Could say the same about Scotland Wales and Cornwall. French military in Brittany? User:217.225.25.11
Reply - Northern Ireland is administered as part of the UK, but is not actually in Britain. Hence the title of the state is the UK "of Great Britain AND Northern Ireland". The comment has been changed to say that the CL considers the Six counties to be under military occupation. A considerable number of people in NI itself, and outside it, also consider this to be the case.
[edit] These Nations are not Celtic
The nations cited in this article speck a 'Celtic' language. Very few of the people themselves are of Celtic descent. Fergananim.

- Most indigenous Europeans are of some Celtic descent, but the Celtic league and congress are based on culture and language in the recent past, not racialist criteria or DNA. MacRusgail
[edit] Celtic nationalism redirects here
Which sounds a bit odd to me, since that article should be about Celtic nationalism as a whole, not this one singular (although very notable) organisation. As such, I'm going to fork it into a new page.
[edit] Museum Artefacts
"the return of ancient artifacts, removed by the French and British authorities to their own museums."
This makes no sense at all. Scotland, Cornwall and Wales are British. Authorities in these places are British authorities. Is the author meaning to say non-Cornish English? Removed to their own museums, does that mean removed to England? Removed from where? At the British Museum, many Celtic artefacts are from England - should they be sent by right to museums in Scotland or Wales?
The line implies through saying Britain to mean England. Therefore it proposes that England is not Celtic. The basis for being Celtic is a Celtic language. The artefacts are from a time before the current political divisions of Britain, when there were numerous other kingdoms. Therefore the line in question is irrelevant and shows a militancy that reveals an ignorance in those that would see such action taken, and thus does a disservice to this article, unless of course this article is about a group of crackpots and thugs.
What should be said is that artefacts from the Celtic period have been removed from what are now considered to be Celtic countries and are on display in museums in England, and that really annoys us because we have no life, so we want to get them back and then find something else to moan about.

Speak for yourself. You've been banging on with the same lines, on usenet and elsewhere for over ten years. Tend to your own house. You are obviously deeply unhappy with your homosexuality, and your parents' move from Swindon to Wellington in your childhood scarred you deeply. --MacRusgail 16:22, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Why is England not considered one of these nations? I know it's been invaded quite a few times, but the celtic routes are still quite apprent in England even today.
- By "routes" I take it, you mean "roads". England is not considered one of these nations for two reasons. Firstly, it no longer has a Celtic language, unless you count Cornwall, and the CL doesn't consider Cornwall part of England, and secondly, the movement is partly to gain independence from imperialist states such as France. --MacRusgail 16:22, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
