It's feckiin expensive already to go on holiday there. Be wary about making it more so.

Otherwise the local economy will have to rely on its other main industries.

Cornwall Live readers have been discussing a statement by an industry expert that tourism in the South West is experiencing its lowest levels in ten years, with Cornish businesses voicing their opinions on what needs to be done to turn things around.

A good start would be to stop fleecing the buggers. New bar opened nearby last week, beer is £7 a pint. That is what I would expect in a smart cocktail bar, but this place is rustic wooden benches.

I feel you need to up your game, you could either offer some poorly thought out, unfunded policy that no one really wants or slag off the other parties to try and make your party look better

I really feel that Potter is taking his followers for granted - no manifesto, no policy details and not even any election communications. It all smacks of complacency... :)

Some of us are grass roots bummers, we don't need a flashy attention grabbing policy.

That's fighting talk! I'm sure a strenuous denial will be issued in due course.

Which normally means the accusation is completely true... :)

It's certainly a bit queer. We need an in depth probe to get to the bottom of it.

Posted my expat vote today. I watched an online debate (thank you BBC) with all my constituency candidates (quite refreshing difference from a leadership debate where it's all about Party nitpicking and character assassination) before I made my decision....
