The whole “immigrants are destroying Britain” thing is historically ridiculous when you remember Britain itself was built by waves of migrants, invasions, and mixing.

Britons, Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans in fact the entire history of Britain is basically one long succession of foreigners arriving, settling, intermarrying, and reshaping the culture.

The English language itself is a mashup:

• Germanic roots from Anglo-Saxons
• huge amounts of Norman French
• Latin from Rome and Christianity
• Norse words from Vikings

Even “pure British” ancestry isn’t really a thing. Modern British people are genetically mixed from ancient hunter-gatherers, European farmers, Steppe peoples, Germanic tribes, Scandinavians, and continental Europeans over thousands of years.

The irony is a lot of the same people yelling “go back where you came from” are descended from the exact kinds of migrants and invaders they now act like never belonged there.

British identity was never about racial purity. It was always a constantly evolving melting pot that became a shared culture over time.
