QUEEN'S NOTTINGHAM VISIT: Details of route revealed

“It wasn't just what we call England, your Mongrel Celt countries also had their share of invasions too you know, Gerry. Just like England and Wales there are plenty of Norman Castles in Ireland. Plenty of Norse and English blood in every Scotsman. There's been free movement between the countries of British Isles for generations now.
I agree we are all Celt/Anglo-Saxon/North Western European, Medieval, Frankish, Mongrels, but my argument with you types is, you would not dream of denying a Scot, Scottish identity or an Irishman an Irish Identity. So why do you try and deny an Englishman an English identity.
Jamaica's or Cuba's Populations are a people who have existed only a few hundred years, originally made up of a mishmash of genes from slaves from countries all over the African Continent mixed with a very large proportion of European genes from several different countries too. Do Jamaicans or Cubans not exist or have an identity?
What is it about the stable thousand year old English identity you object to? What makes you try and deny its very existence?”

“@EggyEggcup: "Well Badger, that means we are even more English doesn't it? If the Angles and Saxons came over and only make up only 5% of our genes then the vast majority must be the genes from the indigenous peoples of these Isles - bar a smattering from a few daliances with Roman soldiers and pillaging Vikings. "

The same old same old from 'English nationalists' who try to claim that the English are some Nordic pure breed of ubermenschen rather than another "mongrel race" which they so deprecate.

Be clear: the original inhabitants of these islands, after neolithic peoples, were Celts of various tribes (including Picts) from Europe. The original Britons were Celts. Even the briefest reading of archeology will tell you that. I'd offer references but that would be a waste of time. Since then there've been Romans and Vikings who provided more than a "smattering" of input to the gene pool (particularly in Northumberland and Yorkshire), followed by Angles and Saxons, French, and latterly Irish and Commonwealth immigrants. The English 'race' is a glorious genetic mishmash and that's to be celebrated, not lamented by neo-fascists and 'English nationalists'.

The Royal Family is another immigrant family, rebranded in the early 20th Century to be 'British'. In reality, Brenda's clan is as British as Frankfurters.

For us mongrel Celts, you anglo-saxons are just a bunch of arriviste incomers. You come over here, take our lands and women, spread diseases, cook smelly foreign food....”

“Actually, eggy, it has not 'strengthened' your argument at all. It was a response to HT who claims that 'this is why England is Anglo Saxon just as the royal family are Anglo Saxon.'. Which is incorrect. And from your reply, you think that too. Now why don't you disagree with HT then.

Now, HT, James VI of Scotland was James I of Britain and he married a Dane. How is he so English, even IF one accepts your silly claims about the lineage of QEII.”

“Good to see from today's story that large crowds are already gathering and 35,000 are expected. I see the mad weasel has asked another silly question, pity he can't read otherwise he'd have been able to see the queen's family tree i posted a link to - oh sorry i forgot he wouldn't have any idea what a family tree is! Trolls eh!”

“Well Badger, that means we are even more English doesn't it? If the Angles and Saxons came over and only make up only 5% of our genes then the vast majority must be the genes from the indigenous peoples of these Isles - bar a smattering from a few daliances with Roman soldiers and pillaging Vikings.
Thanks for strengthening my argument.”

“What is it that motivates some to bow and scrape in front of these people. They are there through accident of birth alone. They aren't any better or more worthwhile than anyone else. Bring on the republic!”

“I recall from the tv programme 'The English' that was aired a few months ago that only around 5% of people living in England have according to their genes, links to the Anglo-Saxons.

Is the Queen related to Alfred the Great through the Stuart Kings and William Of Orange?”

“I agree 100% HackneyTom. Have you noticed how Angus wants to deny that the English exist, thinks our country's figurehead is invalid and thinks flying our flag is a crime, whilst at the same time wrapping himself up in the flag of Mexico, a mongrel nation who's people are gentically 5% African and almost 60% white European. That doesn't even begin to count all the seperate immigrant communities who live there. The average indigenous Anglo-saxon, English person who him and his cohorts want to deny exist are far more English than your average Mexican is Mexican.
Hypocrisy and racism are alive and well with Angus and co.”

“AcapulcoAngus, you write so much trash, I know you know nothing about Britain's history or could care less about our history and culture, but thankfully the majority of people do care, and leave people like you to tap away at your keyboards pouring out all the bile to a small audience in the hope that one or two people like me are gullible enough to bite the bait you have planted with your vile comments. Yep I was gullible and I've ended up feeding the trolls, a bit foolish really I now think!”

“Hold on a minute, I just realised: how am I supposed to get to work tomorrow?”
