Mantaraybryn - No Economy [Official Music Video]

[@WGTHURGOOD]

A new Cornish anthem is born.

[@AndyLaskey]

At Last!!! Someone has got the dogs Bollocks and backbone😮 to put the whole of our county's thoughts into a song and oh boy what a fantastic song it is. Please show some love and spread this song not just county-wide but countrywide. Wishing you every success let's get this into the charts.

Support from Cumbria (Lake District) I would love to move back home😞

[@Moss00000]

Solidarity from South Dorset. Born and bred but can't afford a tiny cottage in my village. The housing situation in bleak in Dorset but Cornwall is on another level 😞

[@antlila5300]

This is THE song people should be singing in the wake of mass impoverishment, but Mantaraybryn is the only one

[@reuse_or_die]

THIS!!!. I'm living in a field in France. It's how I feel about the whole of Britain

[@aubepinenoire]

Support from Brittany where we're facing the same problem at home. Catchy tune ❤

[@eleveneleven572]

I'll second that....from Josselin

[@SurfMatt999]

Absolutely brilliant. Listened to this overlooking the vast shadow of what can only be described as a palace being built in a very popular beach in Cornwall with…wait for it…over 90% holiday homes…😢 It’ll be worth at least 5 million and is a holiday home…

[@DavidBridger1]

A mood setter for our youth on "Here you go, young peasants, here's your bastard budget" day.

[@GHSme34]

Well said, and well done.... very very catchy. I think you have given people an anthem for a good cause. 😉

[@suejohns2308]

Love this. Solidarity. I can't afford to go back either, even in retirement

[@saltedsnail9396]

SO EXCITING EVERY TIME A NEW SONG DROPS!!!

[@adamharris8342]

Wow! This really is REALLY good.

[@antlila5300]

As a gay youth in one of the US’s poorest conservative hellholes that’s getting gentrified by rich coastals while I’m desperate to leave for a good social life this HIT !!!!

[@antlila5300]

My childhood home tripled in value from 100 to 300k bc of these gentrifiers

[@SweetSirenia]

Before I left Vermont, all the rich New Yorkers couldn't figure out why they couldn't find locals to clean their ski homes and AirBnBs anymore. They couldn't understand that it was because they bought up all the homes and we all were leaving as a result.

[@MalcolmWilliams-q4m]

Splan! Brilliant.....time to take back our land.

Amazing! What a banger

[@pribaja]

👏I want to go home 👏

[@tilkaynine7902]

Makes me weep seeing our Cornish heritage destroyed all around us. I wonder at the morality of people buying houses for holiday homes in the middle of a housing crisis! (You can spot them a mile off in our town, smug fekkers strolling around in their Chinese made Seasalt sailing smocks 😂) Their children will be learning about colonialism in school and practicing it for real in half term in Cornwall.

[@timmystwin]

I didn't even have to move that far, only Exeter, but it sucks that the only real route to having any career for me was to move away... Great song.

[@derpherpblerp]

such a banger

[@smallspidersad78]

No second homes whilst anyone wants for a first!

No Economy

[@Trebarwith]

Years ago I was talking to an old Cornish chap in a pub. This subject came up and he said "The Cornish sold Cornwall". He explained that no one *forces* the Cornish to sell their houses for top dollar to people from up country. They choose to do this because they want the money. They could choose to sell to a local person for a lower price if they wanted, but they don't. I'm not saying the situation doesn't suck....it does, clearly. But the anger is entirely misplaced. Be angry with the Cornish people who sell to second homers. This situation wouldn't exist without them.

[@victoriaclare7627]

Even in Cornwall, people don't live forever. You cannot blame an elderly person who has to sell because they can no longer cope with their property for what the next owner chooses to do with it. The problem is not 'incomers' : people have always moved in and out of Cornwall. It's not even 'holiday homes which are rented out most of the time to people who shop locally, use the post office, the pub'. It's 'people who buy houses and leave them empty most of the time'. This is a new and different issue to the local chauvinism of someone who doesn't like having a neighbour who used to live in Birmingham. I live in Wales now, we have taxes on second homes that kick in if they aren't occupied most of the time, and I think it's a great idea.

[@carlcarlson983]

Tory tosh. Have you ever sold a house before? You don’t get to sit down with the buyer and get to know them, or get to discriminate based on where they are from. The ones with the most money bid the highest, simple as. And those people are usually Londoners with high paying jobs.

[@Trebarwith]

@@carlcarlson983 ?? You always know the situation of the buyer, usually via the estate agent. If course it's entirely up to you who you sell to!

[@eleveneleven572]

It's a mixed bag. I was offered a job in Cornwall back in the late 70's. The properties were cheap back then. I didn't take the job and my company moved me to Somerset for 4 years. 10 years later I bought a ruin in Brittany, the region was full of ruins as people had moved away, died or simply built a new modern home. Brits came over, renovated houses that, if left, would by now have mostly collapsed in. It revived many areas, put money in the vendors pockets , gave jobs to builders and put money in the local economy. Within the interior most are lived in all year around. Down on the coast however it's a different story, like Cornwall. A huge number of seaside homes are owned by Parisians and the like. They are empty for 9-10 months of the year and local amenities either just struggle along or shut down most of the year. I've seen the same in the Cotswolds...empty villages. Londoners just come for the weekend and bring all they need with them so they don't even shop.

[@WongFeiFox]

Years ago I was talking to an old Cornish chap in a pub and he said you can always spot the second home owners on the internet by the way they claim that locals sold out their heiritage and if they wanted to they should sell to locals. Next you’ll be throwing out the favourite claim, that without second home owners spending their money supporting the local economy we’d all die of starvation and our children will end up in the workhouse. When let’s be complete honest about the situation. You come down, you do a large shop at an out of town supermarket before arriving, maybe go out for one meal, where the proprietor charges extortionate London prices whilst paying minimum wage to a seasonal worker and possibly buy an ice cream whilst your here.

Love you but not this song bro
