Add Cornish to the 2021 census as a national identity option
Cornish was recognised as a national minority in 2014. It is not acceptable that Cornish will be the only UK national minority to be denied a tick-box on the 2021 census. Including this on the census will provide evidence of the extent of the national minority - Cornish.
Like me, there are Cornish folk who live throughout the UK that do not identify as English, Welsh, Scottish or Northern Irish.
