Only the Anglo - Saxons (Germans) are British? 12:25 - Jul 28 with 1152 viewssherpajacob

Telegraph and mail amongst others peddling the line that Yorkshire people are the most "British" because they have the most Anglo Saxon DNA.

The Celtic people who were here before them are all Irish apparently.

I can't wait for trampie to see this.
It's entirely in contrast to the outcome of a national DNA swabbing programme only a few years back

I guess the meaning of British has changed. In the real world these days it means English.

Welsh people are the true British, plus the Celts.. The Picts.. followed by the Romani Gypsies and Roman/Pict breeds.. Britiannia is Latin. The Saxony invaders decided to do what the Romans did to the Picts/Celts.. and claimed the land as Brit-ain.

This is why the Gypsies refuse to obey the law of England.. and avoid taxes to this day.. because the gypsies believe it's their land to live.

The awkward moment when a Welsh Club become the Champions of England.. shh The Swansea Way.. To upset the odds.

No hasn't changed at all. English and British has always been one and the same in the eyes of the English.

And the world at large too. Fair enough with Aussies or Yanks but even to the Irish and French the two are completely interchangeable. Lived with plenty of Irish up in Bangor and was constantly correcting them when they referred to it as England.

Indeed.

Pretty sh*t article really - it just assumes that the definition of British is Anglo-Saxon. It's the social equivalent of the media thinking that top flight football only started in 1992 with the formation of the PL.
