GUEST,Le Citron Vert BS: Who will campaign against the BNP? (211* d) RE: BS: Who will campaign against the BNP? 09 May 06


From Wikipedia

"The Huguenots, French Protestants facing a new wave of persecution, began arriving in England in numbers around 1670. King Charles II offered them sanctuary, and in all some 40–50,000 arrived. Many settled in the Spitalfields area of London, and, being former silk-weavers, brought new energy to this industry in the area and raised silk to an important fashion item in Britain. It has been estimated that as many as a quarter of London's population today have a Huguenot ancestor."

Changed little over a thousand years?
If you like, I can use more examples to prove that incorrect.

The point I am making, which is no digression, is this skewed idea of nationhood. Anyone who holds a British passport should be considered British (as they are legally). Do you realise how ridiculous the idea of an 'indigenous' people in the UK is?

What date would you give as a 'cut-off' point when people stopped being indigenous?
