    And where do you think “British People “ come from.

    Answer from Wikipedia
    used in a historical context, "British" or "Britons" can refer to the Celtic Britons, the indigenous inhabitants of Great Britain and Brittany, whose surviving members are the modern Welsh people, Cornish people and Bretons.

    Modern Britons are descended mainly from the varied ethnic groups that settled in the British Isles in and before the 11th century: Prehistoric, Brittonic, Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Normans.

    Who were the Saxons ....... Germans.
    I’m 25% Irish.

    Culture:

    Wherever humans are born and raised they adopt local variations which vary from place to place. So there are local variations but in essence humans are not different from one another. Human culture is one. Irrespective of their so-called caste, language, so-called race or geographical area, and level of education etc, all have these common qualities. That is why inherently human culture is one. By superficial look, it seems that people live in different ways and have a different culture, but these are local variations that we term as demi-culture.

    "According to PROUT all of society has the same culture. There are local variations in the mode or state of cultural expression, but the expression is universal. While everybody eats, some eat by hand, others by stick and still others by spoon. Indian dance is based on mudrá or dance postures, and European dance is based on rhythm, but they do not represent two different cultures."

    I offer the following observation on differing cultures with no comment. In the early 90s I was working at Nelson Fire Station, the kitchen looked out onto Bradley Rd across from the old Baths. There was a lawn between the road and the kitchen and one morning a gentleman, clearly of Pakistani origin, stepped onto the lawn, pulled down his trousers, crouched down and curled out a steaming brown log, right in the middle of the lawn. He then stood up, pulled up his jimjam bottoms, and walked off up Bradley Rd.

    I saw the same thing happen in Fleetwood!!!!

    The gentleman in question did appear to be of Pure English descent though! He wasn't wearing pyjamas though and had classic clubbing gear on.

    I also know a Scottish person that shat on a green lawn because it reminded him of Celtic.

    We were having a nice Saturday night dinner in Manchester town centre and were walking back to a taxi rank when this six foot white guy clearly of British origin, smacked a five foot six lass clearly of African origin right in the mouth, there was blood everywhere. He blew on his hand and walked off towards Whitworth Street.

    Take out the religion / the history and the politics from the world over - don't forget it but use it to better ourselves - work together with science and free minds and create a new world.

    One that works to include all and accepts frailty of mind body and spirit but unites free of past doctrines and battles.
