Never under-estimate us Brits.

Caesar selects his ten hardest men and they scale the cliff before vanishing from sight. Five minutes later the Briton reappears. ‘That was too easy,’ he boasts. ‘Let’s have a hundred of you.’

After half an hour, a gravely injured Roman crawls down the cliff and with his dying breath gasps: ‘Caesar, it’s a trick. There’s two of them!"

Sadly, there are none of them these days. The last genetic survey showed that less than 0.01% of the current population have any DNA trace of the Brittanic tribes of the Roman era.

We're all descended from immigrants - my lot are mainly directly Viking or indirectly Viking (Normans and Irish/Scots) with a bit of spice thrown in somewhere along the line but we can trace them back to living in England for over a thousand years.

Which is why I find it amusing that recent immigrant families like Johnson's and Farage's tend to be the most nationalist and xenophobic.

There should be a law that anyone whose direct paternal family line can't be traced back to living in England for at least twenty generations shouldn't be allowed to vote - that should eliminate the far right as they're all potato famine Micks and Eastern Europeans :)

A few years ago one of my brothers and my sister had a real good go at tracing our family tree. They gave up after our distant and immediate ancestors were found to be a curious mixture of Irish, Italian and Lancastrian. Explains a lot really. XD

Mates, you're an ancient people. Your roots on the British islands go back 7,000 years. The sequencing of ancient DNA has revolutionized our understanding of this stuff.

You can learn a lot by sending a vial of saliva to the one of the DNA analysis services. If you're a native Brit, your patrilineage probably goes back to an Indo-European speaking nomadic chieftain who collected skulls and concubines on the Pontic Steppe 5,000 years ago. His descendants arrived in Britain more than 4,000 years ago. Your matrilineage might go back to the dark-skinned, blue-eyed hunter-gathers like Cheddar Man who were in Europe for 30,000 years and rubbed elbows with Neanderthals. Or it might go back the farming people who migrated out of Anatolia and pushed into Britain via the Iberian Peninsula 5,000-6,000 years ago, the makers of Stonehenge.

Celt, Saxon, Dane, Norman--they are all minor variations on the northwest European type.

As long as I don't come from Blackburn I'm OK mate. ;D

"that should eliminate the far right"

I like it, a welcome return of BT's old friend, the Far Right bogeyman. Who are these people, where are they ? Is Boris one ? Is that Old Etonian chappy, the Member for the 18th Century one as well ?

I think we should be told. O:)

I've been looking on and off since 1994, but I've not found one yet, there are a few daft farmer's lads out in Clitheroe of a Friday night, but they seem more interested in ale and shagging than politics. Or is Nigel Evans a member of the Far Right ? Is it him ?

A heroic example who has been ostracized so thoroughly that he cannot hold a bank account, and his name cannot be spoken in the media, is Tommy Robinson. Currently he is persona non grata for making a film about the Telford girls.

There you go. Tommy Robinson's parents are immigrant bog Arabs so he should have f*** all to say about who we should or shouldn't allow into the country.

It's ironic but the English Defence League is rammed with foreigners who act like ****s because they want to be thought of as English - but they're just sad wannabes.

Watched Pretty at Question Time yesterday and deportations of illegal immigrants was high in the agenda , the usual trash from her opposite number who bear faced lied ( unusual for a politician) about labours stance right back to where they were last in power and Miss Patel pointed that out to her that she had introduced the rulings on which we were trying to send our first plane to Rwanda.

I posted that because you immediately all jump to the far right - racism and the like when actually the average person is just sick of propping up immigrants who come here to milk the system ( let’s be honest they don’t come without issues do they - rape - theft - murder of politicians and of course sponging of us the public.

As Pretty delivered her notes the next boat from the channel landed on our shores and another 20 or so YOUNG MEN disembarked for a hotel and warm bed and £37 a week to get started.

Patel is right the average man - woman - are sick of this ( there not far right ) just fraught with spending 5 million a day on accommodating these young men , she jumped up again in my estimation yesterday and delivered exactly as id posted that we need immigration but controlled not like this,

Racist - far right - yes there will always be some but in the most part I think just genuine people sick of the rubbish being fed to them.
