“20,000 Cornishmen”: Tony Goodman on Digital ID, EVs, and Saying the Unsayable

Broadcasts live every Wednesday at 7:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.comWe welcome Cornish YouTuber Tony Goodman of ElectricCar-nage for an hour of spirited banter and straight-talking truth. We trace Tony’s journey from mischievous local radio beginnings and viral parody fame (including his legendary Cornish Donald Trump) to his irreverent critiques of EV culture and modern conformity. Tony shares how boredom, humour, and a love of free speech led him into content creation, why he needles the “floaterati,” and how honest conversation—plus a bit of good-natured ribbing—can cut through division.We also unpack Tony’s pointed intervention at Cornwall Council’s debate on mandatory digital ID—complete with his now-famous “20,000 Cornishmen” quip—and what that overwhelming council objection really means. Along the way we talk Cornish identity, accents, censorship, and why choice matters more than tribalism. It’s an hour of wit, warmth, and unfiltered authenticity from a proud Cornishman who would rather laugh at the madness than be told what to think—or drive.
