Here for the bad takes.

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews I mean we've been over it already, exploring the implications.

[Blank blank in the blank tonight @AScorpupine]

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews We're going back to the start with the genetic proximity argument. You win, I can't be bothered anymore.

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews It means them shared genes become British, whilst not being British in a solely Dutch person.

[Blank blank in the blank tonight @AScorpupine]

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews > 3/4 English and 1/4 Dutch is obviously more English than 1/4 Chinese because a Dutchman is closer related to the British than a Chinese guy on literally every level imaginable relevant to ethnicity.

Literally you.

[Blank blank in the blank tonight @AScorpupine]

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews I'm still waiting for the logic for why 1/4 Dutch is more British than 1/4 Chinese, but the Dutch aren't any part British.

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews You still have the same problem, still the same leap to make.

[Blank blank in the blank tonight @AScorpupine]

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews "The more [overlap / shared British genes / genetic similarity to the British founding population] there is, the more [Britishness / Englishness / British genetic ancestry / retention of the British genome] is retained in mixed offspring."

Grok thinks it's that.

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews Ah, the ol' tactical retreat. Anglo-Saxon heritage?

[Blank blank in the blank tonight @AScorpupine]

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews Then what was the point of strawmanning me if you agreed with the position?

@AScorpupine @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews Being English requires Anglo-Saxon heritage and being less Anglo-Saxon makes you less English according to you.
Procreating with a Dutch partner retains more Anglo-Saxon heritage and therefore leads to a more English child than procreation with a Chinese partner.
Stay consistent.

[Blank blank in the blank tonight @AScorpupine]

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews And you spent all that time talking about Anglo-Saxons. It'd just be easier if you spat it out. It's also okay if you've changed your mind.

[Blank blank in the blank tonight @AScorpupine]

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews The more Anglo-Saxon heritage there is, the more Englishness is retained in mixed offspring.

So when a Dutch person has a baby with a German person, more Englishness is retained than if they had one with a Chinese.

Still got the same leap.

[Blank blank in the blank tonight @AScorpupine]

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews What did I make up? You could easily fill in X and Y and settle it. Your problem is that not once do you make a coherent leap from Anglo-Saxon to English.

And notice how I can answer all your questions.

[White Papers Policy Institute @WhitePapersPol]

There are ~7.3 million Asians in Britain costing the exchequer £4,135 each, annually.

In the next 50 years the British will spend ~£1.51 trillion to sustain this 'community'.

Deporting the 2.5 million without citizenship would save £528 billion.

Giving the 4.75 million with citizenship £60,000 to renounce their British passport and leave would save £697 billion.

Mass deportations & remigration is the fiscally responsible path.

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews Tell me when I said it wasn't? You asked two different questions and got 2 different answers. The English have Anglo-Saxon heritage, but having Anglo-Saxon heritage doesn't make you English. Simple.

Fill in the X and Y for me then, be completely unambiguous. Stop hiding.

[Blank blank in the blank tonight @AScorpupine]

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews Obviously not. How could that come about?

"The more Anglo-Saxon there is the more English is retained in mixed offspring" is your argument. X and Y should both be Anglo-Saxon though, otherwise a fully Dutch person would be part English.

I don't see how you don't understand.

[Blank blank in the blank tonight @AScorpupine]

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews It's not all that relevant. English people have varying levels, so do Dutch people. What can you determine by that alone?

Tell me exactly how it's relevant in a way that makes them more English, but doesn't make the Dutch English at all. This is what you keep dancing around.

[Blank blank in the blank tonight @AScorpupine]

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews > the English

As in the group. Now you're trying to pretend you were talking about individuals? And you're the one tying Anglo-Saxon heritage to Englishness, remember?

You ignored my point of how unworkable it was:

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews It's just axiomatically true that if you change something it's changed.

If you're measuring Englishness in terms of Anglo-Saxon heritage, you're going to have varying degrees of Englishness within the English themselves, and you'll have the Dutch as part English again.

[Blank blank in the blank tonight @AScorpupine]

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews > Would the English be less English if the Anglo-Saxon heritage were erased or lessened?

You don't even understand your own question. If it were changed to be more Anglo-Saxon it'd be less English too. Any change to something's state makes it less like the original state.

[Blank blank in the blank tonight @AScorpupine]

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews I didn't say being less Anglo-Saxon makes you less English. Go back and read it again.

You still can't make the leap from having Anglo-Saxon heritage to being English without also going from Dutch to English.

[Blank blank in the blank tonight @AScorpupine]

@KmrdKuebelwagen @88_jkk @ZoomerHistorian @NickBuckleyMBE @Steve_Laws_ @BBCWalesNews Less Anglo-Saxon heritage makes them less Anglo-Saxon, not less English. More would make them more Anglo-Saxon, not more English. A kid with someone who was half Angle and half Saxon would still result in a half English kid. The English are a separate group, further down stream.
