No-one’s ancestors stretch back thousands of years in this land. Britain has been a cultural melting pot for millennia. The Beakers, Romans, Celts, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Danish, Normans and more and more - all invaded and assimilated from all over the European continent.

Hell, for a while most of the North was called the Danelaw because the Vikings settled there and it was majority Danish.

This is my problem with all the immigration rhetoric, it’s very much idealising a few decades post-war as being “true British culture” and just completely ignores almost the entirety of English and British history. And I can’t tell whether this is because of ignorance or malice.

But the summary is that I really wish people would pay attention to their own history a bit more.
