@crispinrovere@CherylKerkin@KonstantinKisin About 1% of people in England are English according to your ethnogenesis bullshit theory. Same could be said for many nations on Earth. Next time Iโm in Australia, Iโll remember that none of the people there are actually Australian because a random guy on Twitter told me so.
@crispinrovere@CherylKerkin@KonstantinKisin Oh okay. So everyone on Earth who claims to be English should therefore carry with them proof of their family tree which shows they have Anglo-Saxon DNA. Otherwise, they are not English. This seems entirely reasonable and not at all fucking weird.
@KonstantinKisin I genuinely cannot believe I am living in a society where a prominent public figure believes this is a perfectly reasonable thing to claim. What kind of insulated bubble are you living in?!
@KonstantinKisin Unless you have a family portrait of Queen Boudicca hanging above your mantelpiece, @KonstantinKisin wonโt consider you to be English.
@FraserNelson By Konstantinโs definition, oneโs ancestors would all need to have resided in England for one to be considered English. If your great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandparents emigrated from another country, than you are not English. Itโs utterly absurd.
@crispinrovere@CherylKerkin@KonstantinKisin By this definition, oneโs parents, grandparents, great grandparents could all have been born and raised in England. But because your great, great grandparents were immigrants, one is not English. How far back does oneโs family tree have to go? 300 years? 1000 years? PreRoman era?
@crispinrovere@KonstantinKisin Interesting. I was looking at Konstantin like he was the one talking with two heads. My parents are SouthAfricans. I was born and bred in England. Never in my life has anyone ever told me Iโm not English.
