@ShippersUnbound "it never once occurred to me that 'English' was a race..."
Next sentence: "The English are a mongrel race"
"Anglo-Saxons...were a melting pot of old English".
This is supposedly the UK's leading political commentator. WTFF!
@jarvis_jim1161@CompositeGuy_ The authors wrongly include the Danish contribution (dark red) in their wider definition of Anglo-Saxon. The Danes arrived in a series of (mostly subsequent) immigration events all around Britain, including Wales and northern Scotland.
@jarvis_jim1161@CompositeGuy_ 6. Anglo-Saxon DNA (pink in the pie-charts in Figure 3) contributes about 11-12% of the genomes of the natives of Southern & Eastern England - less in what was Northumbria, and virtually nothing in Wales and northern Scotland.

@skedeschi Maybe all these workless Holborn households are living off accumulated capital generated from London's go-go economy, and falling out of trendy wine bars at midnight on a Tuesday slurring: "Work is the scourge of the drinking classes...anyway, Free Palestine!"
@KAF_IndyBramble@Rab_Dickson1 Pissing away 200 grand of his remaining generous benefactors' pension money trying to get Palestine Action unproscribed by the Scottish Courts.
@globaleigh@GBPolitcs Can the volunteer lifesavers prove that the the migrants' dinghy had capsized or lost power? In any event, UK statute law trumps international conventions. There was a reason why the RNLI boat wasn't given permission to dock at Portsmouth or Southampton.
@globaleigh@GBPolitcs Facilitating a breach of UK immigration law by a non-UK national is a crime potentially punishable by life imprisonment, whether you're a volunteer lifesaver or not. Immigration Act 1971, Section 25.
@Ed_Dickinson_ @PhilipProudfoot Every day's a school day. Like most academics, our Phil knows a lot less than he thinks he does - which is partly why he founded the Northern Independence Party.
@AHJohnson1516@AlekYerbury I'll have you know that Yerbury's National Rebirth Party contested Hull City Council's St Andrews & Docklands ward in this year's local elections, and got 19 votes - 0.8%. Onwards and upwards.
@FergusOLenin@gjquartermaine@johnredwood Anyone who lived in Britain in the 11th century who has any living descendants (which would include much of the peasantry) will be an ancestor of almost everyone in the UK who has at least one ancestor who lived in Britain in the early 19th century. It's due to pedigree collapse.
@gjquartermaine@johnredwood If any of your great-grandparents were born anywhere in the British Isles, you'll almost certainly be a direct descendant of William the Conqueror/Bastard himself.
@timtron2020@radartabs@CraigMurrayOrg@HappyAbode1875@CoopButler The key words here are 'despite cholinesterase inhibition' - which will have been caused by a nerve agent. Novichok is not currently licensed in the UK as a pesticide - although it will probably kill quite a few pests.
@james_rogers Who programmes the UK's Trident missile guidance systems? (Clue: The people who do would write 'programs' - and also won't be letting any rogue RN officers potentially start World War 3.)
