I'd like him to name one pure bred English person. Pure-bred Angles*? Bunch of $**!!* Danes and Germans, come over here, take over our country... Those Saxons** are no better, and don't get me started on the Jutes***. The Scots and the Welsh****, they're your true Brits. Mind you, even the Celts were originally immigrants - they came over the land bridge and got stuck here. I don't know what they were speaking here before - Basque, probably. * From Angeln (in between Flensburg and Schleswig). ** From Saxony. *** From Jutland. **** Which is Anglo-Saxon for 'foreign'. Cheeky blighters.
