English Democrats Party to stand in Welsh Assembly elections

And where do you think the various celtic tribes came from? Atlantis

Well you would said that - you are the colonizer.

I think it's great myself. It's always good to remind the English that they are of Germanic descent and that they are an interloper, colonizer nation.

I'm the coloniser? Cool.

As for Germanic decent - that Ladybird book of the history of the British Isles may have served you well for your short years, but the gaps are starting to show. There is so much wrong with the notion of the english being german, I don't know where to start.

I realise that is an attractive notion held dear to many in the 'celtic' nations, but the science of genetics and movement of human populations tends to tell a vastly different picture.

It does indeed-at least according to this guy-http://www.bradshawfoundation.com/stephenoppenheimer/origins_of_the_british.html
But that might piss english people off more if they knew they were mainly Celtic rather than Germanic

Tbh I don't think 98% of them would give a toss.

Well, I think that about 70% of those of the English who can read seem currently to believe, against all the evidence, that they are descended from the perpetrators of one of the greatest racial massacres and/or ethnic cleansings yet imagined in history, they being 'Anglo-Saxons'. Current research seems to suggest there may really have been as few as 10,000 or these mercenary German boat-people, and certainly not more than 100,000, so they must have had a great number of extermination camps and vast supplies of Zyklon B to deal with the three-to-four million inhabitants of the province that had kicked out the Roman officials in 410. Alternatively, those millions could all have moved west and lived on good 'Welsh' grass, of course. They were very talented people, obviously!

In fact, as Oppenheimer points out in Prospect for last October -
www.prospect-magazine.co.uk/article_details.php?id=7817
- none of the peoples of this Archipelago is either 'Celtic' or 'German': we are mostly descended from those who followed the retreating ice north, and are genetically closest to the modern Basques. The English are just British people who have been conquered more often than the rest of us.
