Firstly, I now know I mix up the statues. Apologies. I’m currently on holiday until February, so my next video will be released then. I usually post a new video each week, and I’ll resume my regular schedule once I return. I want to make it clear that I support all peoples, whether Japanese, Egyptians, French, Native Americans, Chinese, Malians, or Greeks, thriving and building amazing societies for themselves. Each culture brings something unique and valuable to the world, and preserving that diversity is essential. My goal is to promote harmony, avoid war and decadence, and stand against hate in all its forms. I created this video because I deeply care about the rich variety of cultures across the world. A world where everyone is moulded into the same culture would be unimaginably dull and tragic.
It's a shame that the longer that this goes on, the harder it will be to stop the trend, due to the erosion of ethnic identity. It's a shame that Asia and Africa are still allowed to fight for maintaining their ethnic heritage but Europe has to lay down and die. This cultural and political drive to replace Europeans is betrayal of the highest order.
@Voting-does-nothing It's the lack of religion that allowed this new ideology to form. You can see it happening in countries like Korea and Japan as well. If muslim countries face the same secularization in the future, they will have the same problem. Many people need religion to have moral values.
All humans evolved in Africa. If immigrants can not be considered part of the country they migrate to ( even later generations born here), then everyone is still African! The English people WERE immigrants. So were the iron age celts they conquered. The bronze age people's immigrated here and slaughtered the builders of stonehenge. Somebody found an empty land and settled first but it weren't the English.
British born 2nd gen Sikh here, I am not English, my nationality is British according to my passport. However, I’m a guest here. A guest that does my part to the country as clean as possible, adopted the culture, adopted the values, pay taxes, work a job I’m proud of, fully enjoy the native cuisine, enjoy the traditions, my religion isn’t Christianity, however the country should be Christian. The natives should NOT be ashamed of their heritage. I not only respect this country, I fcking love it. It has given me a life. If it kicks off, I’m fighting for the country that I’ve called home since birth, just like the Sikhs that are currently serving in the armed forces. My forefathers fought alongside the British in both world wars, that’s something I’m proud of. Call me what you want, I don’t care. I know what I am, and what I am not. Anglo-Saxon people should embrace their heritage and should not let it be forgotten.
Thank you for being so respectful. I've always found Sikhs to show great respect towards English and British people and culture, especially in my personal experience dating back to the 1980s. I appreciate your understanding. As Ive explained in the video, this isn’t about excluding others but about recognising that we have our own culture and way of life, which should be allowed to thrive through its people just as all cultures should be able to flourish. Sadly, it seems that the English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish are no longer given the space to thrive in their own lands. The loss of a culture is akin to the extinction of a species.
People forget British is a wide identity as opposed to English. You can be British but not English. The British identity goes back a long way. Pakistani, Indians and Bangladeshis have been British for centuries. Many British Pakistani Muslims have been subjects of the Crown for generations from Victorian times when India was a British colony since 1857. Moreoever, many English people settled and married into the Indian Subcontinent and made the Indian Subcontinent part of the British identity. Let's nor forget the countles Muslim and Sikhs who fought to Britain in both World Wars as subjects of the Crown. So Yes, you can be Pakistani British, Indian Britisha and every other kind of British who were once part of the colonies. Being White and English isn't the only way to be British - just ask the Welsh and the Celts.
@@wonderer7029 You could be a British subject when the British empire existed. The British empire no longer exists. The colonies understandably wanted sovereignty over their homelands. I am glad it was given back. Now this is our land and the same rules apply, native people should be sovereign. I cannot go to Italy and claim to be Italian because my family was once under the Roman Empire. Now we are just the island nations, the united kingdoms of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, and England, there is no such think as non-native British. Being British is not like being an American, being British is being part of one of our native ethnic groups. You are welcome to live here but you are not Scots, Irish, Welsh, or Anglo-Saxon i.e. you are not British. If you want to be British again you would need to your native nations to come under colonial rule again. Your idea that anyone can be British is the idea of a coloniser. Live here and be happy to be Indian in Britain, but do not pretend to be British. I have no idea why your people fought in the wars. Maybe to stop the third Reich coming to India, to fight for the Empire that no longer exists? They did not fight for the homeland of the British. I can assure you the men and women from these islands that fought, fought for their families and their homeland. They did not fight for the King, nor the idea of Britain. The Celtic and Germanic tribes are the native tribes of all northern western Europe.
Do you actually know the origins of the word, anglo? "The people whose skin looks like the skin beneath", in other words, albino. That is what it means.
@@treystephens6166With a name like that, you probably are of Welsh descent like me, I'm mostly Anglo-Saxon though, German mother, Canadian father of British descent. I think most white people in North America are a British and German mix.
@@treystephens6166 Gonna go with English on those two, the odds are good. Check the name origin or etymology of Hatfield on google, not a mic or a mac so possibly Welsh but I'd go Anglo Saxon.

Many white British were born and grew up in Hong Kong during the colonial period, some of them could evan speak native Cantonese as the local people, but none of them considered themselves as Chinese, we didn't consider them as Chinese either, most of them returned to UK after 1997. Why do you consider the migrants of other race as British when most of them are still loyal to their original countries and tribes?

@yipzoe3865 it makes no difference... they are still part of the common wealth. Those who migrated from the common wealth and became naturalised citizens became British and their children who were born in Britain are a British as any English person. My grandad fought for Britain in ww2. If he is good enough to be a British soldier then he is good enough to be a British citizen. We are British and we have every right to this land. For generations we have have been subjects of the crown. No matter how much you detest it we are British especially if we are part and parcel of Britain and contribute through our taxes. I don't ever want to be English. But I'm British even if I don't like it. You can't change who and what you are.
@@wonderer7029 no, as I know the Indian don't consider the Chinese born in India are Indian, they discriminate and reject them evan they can speak native Indian language. There is a Chinese community in Kolkata with over 20k Chinese, they born in India for few generations, but they are never accepted as part of Indian, they are always 2nd class citizens in India and many of them are leaving India in recent years because of persecution. So the Indian born in UK are still Indian

Son of pasta munchers that fell out the boat in '63. Born in '73, raised under an English sun, breathed English air, speak the English very much good pleasings.

I get your viewpoint but I want to claim mine, for my true love of England, and therefore a Britain with its diverse Scott welsh Celt etc peoples. I came in 2006, 11 years old and son of an immigrant Bulgarian Slavic family. I was already exposed to cultural aspects of Britain before and used to have the national footy kit, a Union Jack hat, listened to many 2000s punk and pop bands, just anything to do with the study of English with the idea that being already malleable in spirit, one day I’d adopt this spirit of the Anglo-Saxon soon to be host nation of mine. I came here and did everything in my power to integrate, and was shocked that foreign born children were incredibly racist towards me with the English kids being far more accommodating (this is London). I fell in love with the history, the Alma matter, I studied etymology history philosophy and excelled in school while also sadly growing bitter at the disdain that was openly spoken about by foreign born kids about how pathetic or deserving the English are for colonialism. Sometimes I was pitted with these same sorts by nationalists only because I wasn’t born on this great soil, though I knew and felt my being, my soul, and my heart to be English. The attempts from either party to shift me bothered me not for in me I felt nestled that old stock spirit of the great men and women of these isles whom I read about as a youth and to this day. I’ve volunteered and managed a charity for years, and was lucky enough to become part of a beautiful community in East London with lots of commendations by the elderly and young alike for how well spoken, polite, and kind I was. None knew that I was from Bulgaria. I’m fiercely nationalist for this great land and I lament at how much the people, us, are betrayed by those which import Islamic anything which is destroying all that is dear here. I want it to be known especially to those politically and socially suicidal cowards of the leftist and elite disposition that should there be a movement at sorting out the mass flooding of foreign born parasites who hate this land, I will be at the spearhead singing songs of old. And should I for some reason be thrown in the last boat away from here for nothing other than the mere fact I were not born here - I will hold the St. George flag by my breast thankful I was ever touched by whatever great spirit that transcended here among you all, for in me there is an unsettling Sun far above nationality but it was given to me here in my beloved England, in the tongue of my Anglo-Saxon kin. It is not by some vain colonial effort that English was my second and more spoken tongue when I was only 2 years old, but by divine grace. Though I was born elsewhere, I know myself and forever will be a Briton. ‘Til Leyton orient win the prem I’m a cockney, in the afterlife I’ll see you all at the Eden tavern for a pint. God Save England, God save us.
@desj2584 im aware they're distinct which is why i seperated them into their respective names, i celebrate that difference and have acknowledged the invasion of Danes, Angles etc with the native Britonnic and Celt cultures. However as this process is one of successful assimilation and co-habitation it did not feel right to only go and say i support the English alone as i truly love all of my welsh irish scottish and cornwall lot. The irish right now with the northern ireland thing i also hold dear, the crown was never right in that regard. Lastly, id like to think that after 1000 years we are all under the banner of Christ so that no nationality prevails, so no im not mixing anyone up. Petty nationalism aside and the english tendency to be a bit up the arse about lost glory, i think we ought to celebrate what we have here and strive to be one whole as seperate peoples. If we dont, we'll be having a minaret atop Big Ben before 2030
I am a 3rd generation British/Indian. All my friends are English, and I have seen their career prospects dwindle, I have seen them be blamed and mistreated for their heritage, and I have seen their self esteem be effected by buying into modernity. These people are basically family to me, they are my kin. I have been treated differently to them purely on the basis of skin colour. I resent this, I resent DEI, have never supported the past 10 years of Anglophobia(that is what me and my friends call it). I support you England, ENGLAND IS FOR THE ENGLISH, AND THE TRUTH WILL ALWAYS STAND WITH YOU.
@@nahnotatall4291 you didn't read my comment. I have been given more opportunities than my English brothers on the basis of skin colour. What you have responded with, has nothing to do with the point I've made. So what the fuck are you waffling on about?

As an East Anglian, with both maternal and paternal sets of Great-grandparents resting in Suffolk and Essex Churchyards, I've always raised an eyebrow at newcomers attaching my heritage to themselves. You can't just claim an identity just because you live there, just as I couldn't move out to Beijing and start calling myself Chinese. Even if I was born there, my stock is still undeniably English. I would challenge any of the 'new English' to walk around Bury St Edmunds with me, tell me what connection they feel as they walk through the ground. What do the War memorials mean to them? How they can associate themselves with the timber-framed houses, the Medieval Churches, the Greens and hollow ways. Going into the museums, can they imagine their ancestors using the artefacts displayed there? Their folk were thousands of miles away when mine created the towns and villages around us today, living off the land, knowing every path, cottage and field in the vicinity. The bond is unbreakable, and non-transferable, no matter what the grifters try and pretend.
I'd rather they Identify themselves as British first. Most of the problems come from the ones who dont, despite being born here and identify themselves as something else.
Couldn't agree more! I'm a son of this land, I know my ancestry and where in this country I came from, although today I live on the opposite side in east Anglia. My father's family come from the north west, mainly west Yorkshire, Westmoreland, Cumberland and the Highlands of Scotland, going back for centuries if not millennia. My mother's family is no less varied with connections to the south SW, the SE and Yorkshire too. I have ancesters buried in graveyards in what is today central Liverpool, but 300 years ago was a small town. Further north in Silverdale and Carnforth generations of my family buried in small church yards. When I walk the ground, smell the air and hear the sounds I feel a sense of belonging that I do not feel in another land. The lay of the land that has been cultivated and managed by our ancestors is laid out before you, the shape of the fields all mean something. I am a Brit and that has a profound meaning. When someone who has acquired citizenship says they’re as British me the insult is indescribable, they're not british, not in the way I am. Give it a few generations you might be but today you're just someone who's come here to live.
*It’s important we don’t stop speaking about REMIGRATION for the recent arrivals-even those who arrived 100 years or so ago. We never asked them to come-our government made excuses for them to come; i,e; engineered wars amongst other European nations…*
British culture? our culture was exported to the entire world. Trends, cultural norms, fashion, and technology around the world feel generic to us because we invented them. The reason a suit and tie is the business attire of the world is because that’s the suit the Victorians wore when they exported industry and business to the world. If Japan had colonised the world we may view suits as traditional, and kimonos as generic. The reason China can produce all our stuff is because we gave them the Industrial Revolution, which is an absolutely incredible part of our culture and it’s remnants are seen everywhere around us, especially up north. The reason sandwiches are eaten everywhere is because we brought them to other countries, they’re a British food, just as sushi is Japanese, but they seem generic because they’re so common around the word. The reason why army’s all over the world salute each other is because of English knights. They used to do a saluting motion to lift their visor up on their helmets when they wanted to talk to each other. Our language is literally spoken everywhere. If Britain never had a navy we’d probably have french as the world language, and Americans would speak Spanish, French, and German. British music, together with African American music, set the standard for all modern music. The postage system, the parliamentary system, industrial production, The television, the radio, modern medicine, the way that we categorise animals and plants, the idea of a white Christmas, a subway transit system, sound recording, the internet, modern naval navigation, trains, submarines, economics, antibiotics, vaccination, cloning, Christmas cards, pencils, radar, the baby buggy, glasses, toilets, toothbrushes, and even a whole religion (CoE). That’s not just a list of inventions - they’re massive parts of our culture. Without us exporting them, people around the world may be brushing their teeth with neems rather than a toothbrush, carrying babies in a sling rather than a pram, praying to a different religion, writing with an ink brush rather than a pencil, using a squat toilet rather than a seat, trading yams rather than Christmas cards, celebrating Christmas beetles instead of snow, and the slave trade might be in place today without us abolishing it and freeing any slave ships the Royal Navy encountered etc etc. There isn’t anything wrong with any of those things obviously, they’re just different cultural ways of doing things, but the world uses the British ways which is why we see our culture as generic. Not because it actually is generic, but rather we have shared it with everyone.
British culture goes back much further than the Victorian era. Our holidays and mythologies, for example, are connected in a blend of Christianity and Celtic/Anglo-Saxon pagan traditions. Halloween, for instance, originates from the Celtic festival of Samhain, later Christianised into All Hallows’ Eve. Mythological stories like King Arthur and tales from The Mabinogion reflect the rich cultural heritage of early Britain. The culture exported by the British Empire also brought innovations that shaped the world, but these were built upon centuries of development within Britain itself. Democracy, in its modern form, a start in British political history, from the Magna Carta to the parliamentary system that inspired democracies worldwide. Our iconic cathedrals showcase centuries of Christian architectural and artistic influence. While we’ve been influenced by external cultures (like Norman French, which contributed to our language), Britain has undeniably given far more than it has taken. The Industrial Revolution wasn’t just about machinery it was the culmination of centuries of ingenuity and progress, shared with the world. The British Empire didn’t just adopt Victorian trends; it drew from a vast and ancient cultural wellspring to shape global practices. Perhaps it’s worth exploring the deeper history behind what’s often attributed to more recent periods.
Cravat which became the tie, is named after Croats and was taken up by the French to show support for their fight. Shirt of Germanic origin Sleeve also Germanic Vest latin Lapel Old English coat from Old French Trousers from old Irish/Scottish Gaelic. There is a lot of history before the Victorians. However the story that cultures influenced each other, is by no means an advocation for the 'American melting pot' where all loose their identity under a centrally directed 'wokism' which is in my view killing diverse brilliant individual cultures not just in the UK but around the world.
I’m a Scot who took a My Heritage DNA , all I knew was my paternal lines from Co. Cork & Dublin . 83% Irish, Scottish & Welsh 11.4% Greek & Southern Italian 5.6% Baltic . My sons came back a quarter English & we’re all thinking now where did that come from lol my sister also married to a big English farmer in Norfolk so our family stretches across England Scotland & Ireland.

At that, I am only 66% Irish(which shows Scots and Irish as one, as I descend from Ulster Scots with Scottish family name, and I should be Protestant but was raised Catholic, and 34% Swedish/Norse which is too much to be ancient assimilation. I have green eyes, pale skin, brown hair, over 6ft. I actually look quite like Rathlin man LOL. We are one folk, one race, many tribes.
I travelled to New Zealand once…and had a great time…but on landing back in England I literally felt the ancient bones of the land and knew I was Home ❤
English is an ethnic identity and the ethnonym is synonymous with Anglo-Saxon. Ethnicity is exclusive by definition. It amazes me how many adult babies cannot understand this or hear it without getting triggered. People really need to grow up
English is the descendants of Anglo Saxon Kingdoms and all of the people they assimilated up until the Normans. The fact that one needs an explanation of that is a testament to one's poor education.
Exactly, people don't seem to understand that and just view it as a nationality when it's an ethnic group. Only us natives have the right to call ourselves english.
@JackParfitt04 True. And they give you the elite dominance theory bs which is utterly refuted. Also people who can't grasp this typically don't underwater an ethnic group even is haha
@@JackParfitt04 Woah steady, You want a Nation and now You have it and that Nationality is English and that should be distinct from ethno-English which y'are, so what's the issue?
There are many different peoples currently residing on our island, and I personally don't have a problem with that. But as an Englishman born and bred I have a right for my heritage and culture to be recognised , it's time for us to stand up for our heritage and be proud of it. Other peoples are able to, so why is our right to stand for who we are denigrated as being racist . I am not claiming others are inferior or think I naturally have a position above them, I just want to be recognised as English.
Stop worrying about being called a racist. Everyone is racist, which is basic instinct. Be proud of being beautiful English people, you have done so much for humanity: creative, clever people. All the people of the world want to be like English people, and widely English is spoken. Long live English!
just because people do NOT speak their mind in public because of the consequences after all woke is like a code of conduct suppressing what people should be allowed to say doesn't mean people do not think for themselves and see things for what they are , if you do everyone is labelled far right how about common sense ? it is one of the reasons Donald Trump won the election, please type in and watch 9 minutes of Donald Trump absolutely wrecking woke culture and you will see why woke lost
Anglo-Saxon pride revival Let's campaign for Englishness. 1. Speak English 2. Love England 3. Respect the English 4. Have a deep understanding and respect of the history. 5.

As a Norwegian I love the British. In the past you introduced us to god and civilization and I have always been facinated by your history. I hope that one day we can all return to being proper northern europeans with a common love for our ancestors and god.
King Canute, our Viking King, as well as England, also ruled over Norway and Denmark from 1028 to 1035, so at that time we were all one country and truly all brothers and sisters. By the way, I love Norway.
@@junosaxon4370 Yeah, we have a close history. I am a great admirerer of your many kings, king Alfred the great particularly because of his reconquest of England from my the vikings. I visited York and London last year, and I understand the state you are in. We also have a rising crime rate, but London is nothing like I expected allthough York was quite nice.
Norway and Britain, especially England, are very closely aligned ethnically and socio-culturally. I have visited Norway several times and always connected well with the locals, with the land, the food, and the way of life. I think there's always an unspoken affinity between the peoples of two lands who share ethnic, historic, and social ties like that...and it shouldn't be ignored, especially in modern times where there is so much division, and we can clearly see the importation of peoples and cultures who are so *not* like us, as well as our government, establishment, and media trying to tell us that our identities don't exist, and that we have no culture, etc.

Im a New Zealander of very much Anglo-Saxon decent. Boat came over here in 1841. Got a DNA test done and was 7% English. About 40% Celtic, 47% NW Europe. Rest Finnish. I find the UK history quite fascinating. Excellent history lesson thanks 🇬🇧 🇳🇿
Thanks for sharing your heritage, that’s really interesting! It’s fascinating how your DNA test shows such a mix-7% English, 40% Celtic, and the rest NW European and Finnish. History really does connect us all in unexpected ways. I’d love to visit New Zealand someday. it sounds like such a beautiful place with a unique story. Does it have more of a Western vibe, or is there a mix of other cultures, too? I can imagine it’s an amazing place to experience, especially given the history you mentioned about your family arriving there in 1841!

@@GalvanizeOO7 I was born in South Africa to an English father (ancestry in Norfolk traced back to 13th century) and a mother of Scottish/Irish extraction.

England like most countries was formed during the Migration period. Yet no one says that the French, Germans or Spanish are all immigrants, yet England is older that all of these countries.
@@johnbrereton5229 quite pedantic to define a national formation by the crowning of a single king, isn't it? By all intents and purposes, West Frankia WAS a united France, and it had achieved unity long before Wessex managed to collect the Anglo-Saxon lands of Britain in the 10th century. What defines a nation? Its government or its people?
@halsneed6136 It's difficult to ascertain the founding date of any nation. However, most would agree that when various tribes unite under one King who is then declared the King of France as Philip was, that is a good start. So who exactly is being pedantic about it, me or YOU !
@johnbrereton5229 various tribes united under the Carolingians, when they took power to rule in their own right instead of as mere maiordomos, and that was before even Charlemagne being crowned as the Roman Emperor in the West by the Pope in 800. The Franks have conquered Gaul in the 5th century, have always been a consolidated people, and have formed a strong kingdom and even Empire all whilst England was still a distant dream. To insist on the contrary is folly.

As a Greek/Australian currently living in Greece, I can also confirm that I can never be a true English person. According to logic, I will never be able to become English because of my ancestry and ethnicity, having Greek blood. Many people might say that you can become English if you adhere to the same values and culture of Britain and can communicate in English. However, while adopting British values and culture can foster a sense of belonging, the essence of identity often runs deeper than mere cultural assimilation. It involves a complex interplay of personal experiences, heritage, and the intrinsic connection one feels to their roots
The British Greeks are the best. Never met a Brit Greek who wasn’t warm, funny and friendly. I’m English, very English, but I live in Australia as hubby is an Aussie.

@Parker_Douglas you have a point ,but remember it was the english ruling classes that were responsible, they also opressed the ordinary english ,the point is today all indigenous peoples of eire,Scotland,Wales, England etc..are under attack from foreign migrants ,surely it would be wise to stick together as one indigenous collective.. ?
@lightningspirit2166 That's not going to happen. Victimhood is too strong a narcotic for a Celt. I say that as a half-celt. It's really pathetic to be honest.
I’m a Canadian who’s Scottish ancestors settled here in the mid 1600’s but I always felt a connection to the whole of the UK as if it’s like a home away from home. Much love from a former Dominion brother 🇨🇦🇬🇧
I am British not English as I am born on a island near france I look more norman then English my mother was English and my father was British norman ....all I have known is my small island I have often visited Manchester but when my mother died I realised after coming back that Manchester no matter how much I wanted it to be was never my home jersey is I still wish to leave this island forever but that's the viking in me
Your story is so fascinating! It’s incredible how tied we can feel to our ancestors, even when those ties feel complicated. The idea of being British but not English, and the sense of identity you have tied to your small island, is so rich with history. The mention of Norman heritage and even the ‘Viking’ in you really resonates with the idea of cultural identity being multifaceted.
@@CeltainianChronicals It's a pretty similar story for me. I grew up in England and have an English father, but my mother was born and raised in Jersey, and regards herself as British or an Islander, not English. My grandad is also from Jersey, and his childhood included living through the Nazi occupation of Jersey, which was a period of his life he never talked about. I regard myself as both English and British, and to a lesser extent Jèrriais.
Same for denying the existence of any of the ethnic groups of these islands. We are not one people. But the nations of these Isles should stand in solidarity to preserve our own and each others nations. Nationalism does not mean hating others. It means loving your own.
@@dafydd1722yet Scot’s who support SNP are ridiculed & called separatists. The way I see it is when the English become nationalist like in the Brexit vote then that’s ok but when Scotland dares to do likewise & not be ruled by a foreign country we’re called defamatory names . We’re not the same people just look at how the English vote & compare it with Scot’s . Not united.
@Parker_Douglas Exactly. I don't blame the English for wishing to preserve their identity. But I don't approve them opposing ours either. But I'm happy to stand in solidarity with any who wish to preserve their own identity in their own country but not at the cost of ours. Alba gu bràth! Cymru am byth! Kernow bys vykken! Even England forever if they can learn to respect us too.
Or needing it explained to them. 🙄 It's everybody since the Establishment of the Anglian and Saxon Kingdoms up until and including the Norman Conquests. The fact that folks require an in depth explanation of that, in order to acknowledge what an English person is, is a huge issue.
If anyone asks me if I am British or from the UK, I tell them no, I'm English and from England. The UK is a registered trading corporation and not a country.
Oh shut up, the UK is literally you English buying out Scotland's debts forcing them in a union with you. Wales was part of England, invading a few centuries prior to the union. Without Scotland, there'd be no UK.
Only thing to add is the wooden idols of Thor and Odin are labelled the opposite. Thor has his hammer on his knees on the left and Odin has raven and wolfs on the right, it also says in furthark “ODIN” underneath.
English is an ethnicity that describes genetic descendants of the Anglo-Saxons blended with native britons and Scandinavians. British is a nationality like being Roman or American.
I'd say British is an ethnicity too. It's just a broader grouping of several closely related ethnicities. To say you're British is basically just a vaguer way of saying you're either English, Scottish, Welsh or a mix of these. However being British in the sense that you're simply a citizen of the UK? Then yes, definitely just a nationality.
I’m genetically 55% English, 24% Scottish, and a mishmash of Northern European. Since these categories exist it strongly suggests that there is a science based existence of a genetically distinct British peoples. Am I wrong to see it this way and if so what did I miss?
just because people do NOT speak their mind in public because of the consequences after all woke is like a code of conduct suppressing what people should be allowed to say doesn't mean people do not think for themselves and see things for what they are , if you do everyone is labelled far right how about common sense ? it is one of the reasons Donald Trump won the election, please type in and watch 9 minutes of Donald Trump absolutely wrecking woke culture and you will see why woke lost, psychological warfare ? the left may want you to question your own sanity you see it on newsnight or question time no real diversity of opinion look at how Nigel Farage and anyone agreeing with him is talked about by the mocking sneering lefties thinking their view is the only sane or normal viewpoint , my advice ONLY trust your own judgment
I’m a second generation immigrant, of sorts: half English, half Armenian. I’ve long since totally abandoned my Armenian identity, and wouldn’t have it any other way. The English specifically, and the British more broadly, are the single greatest peoples that humanity has ever produced, and I’m proud to have some of that blood in my veins.
My parents were immigrants, but they did well to raise me British. They refer to me as such, we partake in the culture, we study the history, many may not consider me British, but I hope that my children and grandchildren can be.
People from nord islands before the nordic ones.. people from British islands, keep your territory. Keep your traditions alive. Keep your people united and alive.
...saying majority white countries have always been multi culture does NOT sound as you said, compelling... ...that's called manipulation, if not aggressive... .....I also notice how every video, including this one capitulates just a little every time...
We're proud Welshmen here and I'd suggest you visit Britain 's Hidden History to consider British history and the repression of all our origins - including the Lloegr- yes that's the earliest "English" of these islands. We also need to be aware of those self styled nationalists that decry our shared heritage and seek to separate us only to once again become subservient to the EU.
Yes. More people need to be made aware of the true Britons. Problem is, now we’re both up against a larger foe, differences and the past need to be put aside for a time to save the whole of the land.
Lloegr doesn't actually mean England. That would actually be Gwlad Sais or Gwlad Saeson. Sais, Saeson, etc comes from Saxon. Lloegr is our word for the geographical area of Lowland Britain.
A great & refreshing video! There must be a revival of the English identity, one which harkens back to our origins. English has become so mainstream to the point where it no longer has any meaning or sanctity. Amongst many other factors I believe that American soft power has greatly contributed to the diminishment of English culture, as today even here in Britain we are becoming Americanised.
Yes, I completely agree. This is one of the main reasons I’ve been making these videos. There’s so much history, culture, mythology, and storytelling that has been forgotten and is no longer taught in schools. I remember as a kid we used to celebrate festivals like May Day and Harvest Day, things that I’m not even sure are mentioned anymore. On the negative side, I think the issue isn’t just American influence but also globalisation, which seems to be having a much bigger impact than we often realise. That said, there are examples like Poland, where they’ve managed to preserve their culture and traditions despite globalisation. It shows that it’s possible to resist losing touch with who we are, but it takes effort and awareness.
I'm Australian - the son of a Tasmanian wood-cutter and Victorian dairy farmer's daughter whose parents immigrated from England, Ireland, and Scotland. My mother's heritage is particularly interesting, her great-grandparents having fled from Prussia to England before the nation was absolved, and Christians were being put to death. I'm proud of my heritage, which has been touched by the genetic hands of the Celt, Greek, Balkan, Slavic, Baltic, and Germanic peoples, amongst plenty of others.
I am "American". But that is nothing more than a nationality. My Fathers side isn't just English, it is OLD English. From Essex and East Anglia respectively. My family has been in "America" since colonial times. But our history in England goes back to the 900's. If if rishi sunak and I died together right now and were buried side by side, in a thousand years when our bones were dug up and our genetics traced, there'd be only one "Englishman" and that would not be Mr. sunak. See my point ? They can NOT steal our history unless we allow them to. I refuse to concede. I am English on my Fathers side and Swedish on my Mothers. I am PROUD of my Anglo-Scandinavian ancestry. My "Germanic" ancestry. I will fight for it even if it costs me my life.
The Americans who have been in the USA since colonial times usually call themselves old stock American. As their ancestry goes so far back to the near medieval times. As someone who’s from England with family who fought in ww1 and ww2 for my country. I do find it silly that a yank would try and call himself English. But you do you.
@@Mugwumps107 That doesn’t make any sense at all mate 😂 he’s saying he’s been in America for ages since like medieval times. Here’s an example, this black American bloke I was talking to told me he had a white American ancestor from the 1700s. Is he an Englishman as well?😂
I'm Irish, and Lived in England all my life. I only have 25% English ancestry, which too had deep enough ties for my maternal grandfather (my only English ancestor) to hop the lake, and marry an Irishwoman. I love my home, but I am a Gael, through and through. I have bright blue eyes, and ginger hairs among the brown, but, the biggest genetic giveaway that I wasn't aware of, is my Voice; I started studying opera under a Baritone, an ENO veteran of 40 years, who asked me, 2nd session in to my journey back in 2019, if I was at all Welsh or Irish. Apparently, a pure and strong Tenor voice is extremely rare for an Englishman, and the few he had ever heard in his 40 years at ENO, had a particularly barrel-like tonality in the Secondo Passagio area of the voice that just couldn't be faked. It's such a strange giveaway to me, but that's DNA for you! Anyhow, all this is my small opinion nobody asked for, but, if you want to take it from an "Irish-Saxon's" experience, I say that, the worst thing to happen to the English identity, was British imperialism. The English have every right to be themselves, without being hag-ridden by shame, and the idea that they have to supress themselves because of their history. You do you are words to live by.
It’s funny you mention all of this because it sounds surprisingly similar to my own story. I have green eyes, but like you, I had reddish hair growing up, and I also have a baritone voice. I used to be a musician too and made the same discovery about my voice, which I found fascinating. On my father’s side, my family comes from Ireland, while my mother’s side is from Lancashire. It’s interesting how much these traits, whether physical or vocal, can trace back to our genetic and cultural heritage. It seems like we share quite a bit in common!
I'll be honest, I think we are a dying people. The wheels are already in motion and have been for a while. Too many of us are simply too polite to preserve our homeland and wouldnt dare offend anyone else we be called names.
The term "Indo-European" is an interesting one, we cannot use the proper historical term, for political reasons, Aryan, that is. Germans say "Indo-Germanisch" Phonetics matter in our related languages. From my Irish bias here is a few examples. Iran, Eire, Aryan. Irish, Irisch, Arisch, Aryan means Noble. What is associated with nobility? Chivalry and horse riding, marital skills, intelligence and manners. If you are interested in more like this, I recommend looking elsewhere for a guy named "Asha Logos" he was recently banned from TH-cam.
I had not realized the channel has been banned but you're right. If you search for "Our subverted history" you still get results on other channels though.....
No, they are two different things. Indo-European is an umbrella term of which the Aryans were a subgroup. You are just ignorant of the linguistic terms
The PIE root that gave rise to the word 'Aryan' probably meant something like 'noble'. There is no evidence that it was used as an ethnic self-designation by the Proto-Indo-Europeans in general. This was most likely a later development within the Indo-Aryan group.
After many generations the soil is literally in the blood, the shared historical experience of the land and culture becomes deeply rooted at a genetic level. That cannot be learned..
“What do they know of England, who only England know?” Now that England is continuously being occupied by foreigners, I think the English are beginning to realize who they are, and what they are.
"Aryan" was originally termed Heryan which supposedly meant "kinsmen", not some follower of Hinduism which meant nothing Beaker people of the Corded Ware people.
This is somewhat incorrect. You are correct in saying it’s not a religious term from Hinduism, but the rest is a gross oversimplification that is actually far from the actuality of it… I’m sure what you’ve read or heard is partially correct, but when you look at thousands of years of linguistic history lumped into one sentence and viewed from the vantage point of ‘now’ it’s easy to misinterpret the facts. The term ‘Ariyan’ is first attested by peoples from the Iranian plateau, and we believe that the andronovo culture may have been the birthplace for the particular sub language language of the greater indo European language family that used this term as a self designation. Not the corded ware or bell beaker peoples This is a common misconception that is misapplied to the indo Europeans of northwest Europe, who have a separate evolution to the ‘Aryans’ of the indo Europeans of the Iranian language families
@@StillCollins-ni6qd You say that but there is an etymological continuation with the "Saka" Scythians and the Saxons (Germanic peoples). At any rate, the genetic and anthropological evidence we have suggests these people moved West (as well as South and East), wherein they preserved their existence the longest. Christopher Beckwith explains this in his book the Scythian Empire.
I'm 60% English, the remaining 40% is Scottish and German, my YDna is r1b-u106 (z156). I'm American, my family has been here since the 1500's, Zachary family. I consider myself basically an Englishman.
Nice that you are seemingly integrated, ever had a bacon sandwich, black pudding or a pork pie, very traditional food items there! If you have, then you might be more English than you think after 3 generations!
@@tomnicholson2115if not drinking alcohol then I suspect no pork either but just going into the pub with English friends is a good sign. Most Muslims would sooner burn down a pub then sit inside one.
Bruv, going to the pub is in and of itself a sin. Go to a cafe or tea house. Pubs are the places where people go crazy and shout and fight each other on the street. Don't do your religion halfway. A pub is a place full of demons. It's unfortunate that the type of friends you make meet each other in a pub rather than a church or a library or gym or something.
I am mostly English, 56% with 18% Scots, Irish, Welsh and the rest NW Europe, makes me very British and I would not wish to integrate with whats arriving on our shores ever. Our men and women should stand firm against this onslaught.
I see English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish as the majority ethnic groups of Britain. So someone who is of pure Indian ancestry cannot be described as any of these in my opinion. However, the term British is nationality and that can be applicable to the ethnic minority groups.
Great content. But as for Christianity, it did not come to Britain with the Roman German missionary St Augustine of Canterbury in the late 6th century. St. Augustine reintroduced Christianity to the part of Britain that became England because the English tribes replaced the native Christianity in their areas and later kingdoms with there Germanic paganism. The Church still existed elsewhere in Britain and there may even have been secret Christians still in some English kingdoms. When St. Augustine arrived, he and King Ethelbert set up a meeting with the native bishops of the British church. The British bishops were most hospitable as was British custom but St. Augustine took advantage of their hospitality and shown disrespect and contempt to the British bishops and the Britons. This led to a breakdown of relations between the British Church and the newly established English Church which shaped relations between the two Christian communities for the following generations.
Thanks for the detailed comment! You make some great points about the reintroduction of Christianity by St. Augustine and the existing tensions between the Roman mission and the native British Church. It’s true that Augustine’s mission wasn’t bringing, Christianity to Britain for the first time. Christianity had already reached Britain during the Roman occupation, likely as early as the 3rd century. There’s evidence of early Christian communities, including British bishops attending the Council of Arles in 314 AD, showing how it was here before the Anglo-Saxon migrations. Its amazing how those migrations disrupted the Christian presence in eastern and central Britain, leading to a revival of Germanic paganism. St. Augustine’s mission in the late 6th century was as much about converting the Anglo-Saxons as it was about rebuilding Christianity in areas where it had been displaced. The tension between Augustine and the native British Church is particularly interesting. His approach, as you pointed out, seems to have been less than diplomatic, which is unfortunate. The differences in tradition and authority between the British and Roman churches clearly created a rift that persisted for generations.
St Augustine introduced it to England, not to Britain as a whole. Some of the Welsh didn't want to try and convert the English (due to how the pagan English invaded and took their Christian country), which is why a Roman was sent instead.
@Parker_Douglas Aye, the Welsh, Irish and Scottish had Christianity before the English. But Christianity existed in what became England before it was reintroduced after Germanic paganism took root. There is some evidence that there was Christianity in Scotland before St. Columba too, so it was a reintroduction there also. Look up St. Ninian in the 4th century.
You mean when Mercia ,became England ?¿...Then larger so became Britain?...because it doesn't make sense speaking of old times when it wasn't called that then?...obz
I am from Germany, but we face the same issue. Boomers have tried their best to redefine what it means to be of a people and have clinged to a definition that is bound to values, which might work for countries like America that were founded upon certain believes, but is utterly ignogrant of other people's heritages and histories. Furthermore, these values, from country to country seem to be more or less the same. You hear the terms of "european" and "western" values being thrown around. But when it is for these values that one supposedly becomes German or Spanish or British and these values all all appear to be the same, then what sets us apart as independant people of our own? The consequent answer is that we could well all be one people, a European people. And you can see the endeavors of creating the legal frameworks for such a people manifest in political parties like Volt, that campain throughout the entire EU in every memberstate and persue the goal of a more centralised EU. So not only is this Ideology practically set up to have us be forever changed by outside influences, but it also desolves us all from within.
I completely agree with you. Europeans are connected through our values, culture, and DNA, yet we still maintain our own unique identities. It’s pretty obvious when you think about it. The further apart people are geographically, the more culturally and genetically different they tend to be. You can see shared genetic markers across Europe that link populations from Ireland to Poland, yet regional differences remain, like the higher prevalence of Celtic ancestry in Western Europe and Slavic influences in the East. Culturally, we share similar traditions, such as seasonal festivals, folklore, and architectural styles, but each country and region adds its own twist, like the differences between Mediterranean cuisine and Nordic traditions. Of course, there are exceptions, like Australia, South Africa, and even America.
To be anglo is technically a cultural group. We are germanic and celtic but mostly Germanic. The "anglo saxons" were scandinavian and German collectively. But this would absorb the vikings later as well. We are a distinct people yes and our culture is important to me. I find the repression of our history very frustrating. However english people are a distinct ethnic group but not a race... we are Germanic and celtic but germanic mostly and so our "race" would be germanic like vikings and Germans and so on. But yes the english are real 100%
"we are Germanic and Celtic but mostly Germanic" actually its the opposite the highest Saxon dna was around 40% and that was rare in certain places closer to the continent. The majority in England have around 10-20% anglo Saxon with small drops of Norse and the bulk is native Celtic.
@sully8317 You are talking not of cultural heritage, but of race now most celts aren't full celts either. So, your subjective and situational observation is irrelevant to this point. The english is a cultural group closely but not exclusively linked to a massive mix of germanic and celtic people, all collectively called anglo saxon, not by the english but other Europeans. The cultural group is most defined by its germanic influence and was founded on it but incorporated celtic early on. What I said is still 100% correct.
@sully8317 also "native celtic" this is another myth. The celts are all Irish in origin, and the Britons so named by Rome are not connected by any facts, only guess. To be native is to be from a place so as the english originated in England they are native weather celt or not while the celts are not native because they are celtic as the celts are from Ireland.
@sully8317you’re completely wrong. It’s 30-40% Anglo Saxon, 20% Celtic and the rest broadly Germanic and NW European. So the average modern Englishman is infact 80% Germanic, speaks a Germanic language and has a Germanic culture. Wales and Scots have 40-50% Celtic DNA. BE QUIET.
@@theangryimp1345 'The celts are all Irish in origin, and the Britons so named by Rome are not connected by any facts, only guess. To be native is to be from a place so as the english originated in England they are native weather celt or not while the celts are not native because they are celtic as the celts are from Ireland.' That is completely incorrect and must be one of the most uninformed comments I've ever read on the topic. ,First, the word Celt comes from the Greek Keltoi. It was a term used to describe the cultural group from central Europe... the ancient Greeks had never even met the Irish at this point in time. Secondly, the Celts were not a homogenous group like the Angles and Saxons; there were many Celtic peoples/tribes. Celt/Celtic culture was shared throughout central and western Europe, the Iberian peninsula, and the British Isles. thirdly, Britain was not 'named by Romans' it is the Latinised form of Pritani, a Greek form of the Ancient Bitish name for themselves and is believed to mean "the painted people" and first appears in the writings of the Greek explorer Pytheas in the late 4th century BC. I'm Cymry a descendant of the Britons, we were called Welsh by the none native Germanic people who came to Britain during the early medieval period about 1,600 years ago. Cymry comes from the ancient word 'combrogi/combrogos' which means 'of this land' or 'countrymen.' My language came from ancient Brytonic, a Celtic language, we call it Cumraeg, my country is called Cymru, my country is one of the six Celtic nations. I'm not from Ireland and neither were my ancestors. My language is not from Ireland, mine is from Brytonic, theirs from Gaelic, both Celtic languages that share a lot of similarities but not the same. The Britons are from Britain. 'England' comes from Engla land a name the Anglo-Saxons created. The Britons called it Lloegr. DNA has shown the ancestors of the 'Welsh' have been in Britain for 14,000 years, from before Britain became an Island and was still connected to the European mainland. Anglo-Saxons are not from Britain and do not have a Celtic Culture and Language, theirs is Germanic, so how on Earth can you possibly make the claim the the Celtic Bitons are not native to Britain yet the Germanic peoples from northern Europe who came to Britain 1,600 years ago are are?
My lineage comes from the original Britons, no Saxon or Viking, pure Anglo-Celtic heritage, and I have a very rare surname that often has people asking where it comes from. I’m English through and through, and am very proud of that. Though I have lived in Scotland nearly 10 years because surprisingly Milton Keynes doesn’t quite have the views you wake up happy to see.
Never in British history has there been such a huge inflow of immigrants from such different cultures, different ethnicities, and from such different parts of the world as there as been over the last 30 years. Britain in 1951 still had a 99.9% White British population.

Proud descendent of the hugenots here but an Englishwoman through and through. Close European migration within similar countries that have the same morals and similar cultures is not bad and not harmful. Modern immigrants do not understand the depth of and the strength we have within our history. Your own government is slowly stripping that away from you and your children. Do not let them. They are not racially European, they’re not even human. Be proud of your northern European blood, do your ancestors proud!
Every culture in the world is through migration,but we made our culture through our own efforts,we became what we are,and we are British,It does not matter what happened thousands of years ago,there were no countries then,but people settled in different places and made their cultures and countries what they are now.That is what matters ,not where these early people might or might not have come from.Because no one is really 100% sure exactly where everyone came from.In every country most people have very mixed genes
@@celticmetalwarrior7844 Depends on how powerful and urbanised or poor and rural a culture is. Like people in the jungle are defined by isolation, and people in the mountains too, but people in the steppes or by the sea are defined by mixing.

To talk about the whole anti foreign influence and cultural intermingling ideas, I believe everything you say about valuing ourselves is true and I value my "Britishness" as a core part of me, but what exactly does it mean to BE English? Sure there is the idea of being ethnically English or a pure blooded celtic Welshman or to have grown up in an all English household, but arguably a lot if not most people of different ethnic backround I know grow up and assimilate pretty well, especially if they go through education here, even if not perfectly. Putting aside English blood or English culture - is it a bad thing to have other cultures come here? I think the answer to that is no, it's just that our culture and heritage is valuable as it exists now and in the past, which probably won't change
I get where you're coming from, and I think it's important to recognise that throughout history, whenever large numbers of people have moved into another population's land, it’s never been a case of peaceful coexistence-one culture always ends up dominating or even replacing the other. Take the Bell Beaker people moving into Britain, for example. They replaced much of the original Neolithic population, both culturally and genetically. The Romans did the same when they arrived, imposing their laws, language, and way of life, which fundamentally changed the native British culture. More recently, we've seen similar patterns across the world-just look at what happened to the Native Americans or the Aboriginal Australians. Small numbers of immigrants, say 1% or less, can usually integrate without drastically changing the host culture. But when it happens in large numbers, those new populations inevitably start taking positions of power-controlling councils, shaping policies, and often disregarding or even replacing the traditions and values of the native people. History shows us time and time again that cultural balance doesn't last when mass migration occurs. It’s not about rejecting other cultures-far from it. I want all cultures to thrive, but history proves that it works best when people flourish separately in their own lands, as they have for thousands of years. There’s a reason things have always been that way; it's how humanity naturally developed, preserving unique traditions and identities without being forced to compete for cultural survival within the same space.
I am so happy to have stumbled upon this video ❤🏴❤ I am growing beyond weary of reading the same repetitive responses on this platform which state something similar to ‘you are foreign anyway, go back to Germany…’. [Sellout leftwing institutions and the media are to blame for this, entirely] I just responded to one with the following. As an English girl (with a Welsh 🏴 surname) the attempts to deny us our ancestral homelands is now making my inner Boudicca rise (sorry for length but our people’s time here has been lengthy): ‘We are not ‘foreign’. Our ancestral lineage can be proven via genetics for thousands of years upon these isles. Do you want to test the average Welshman to see? (At least 10,000 years) The ‘Anglo Saxon’ red herring is just that. The vast majority of Brits only have between 10-20% DNA left from them (only pockets of populations have as high as 40%) and the remainder is made up of far older genetics. Irrespectively, all early modern human settlers to these Isles came from the same genetic pool as the celts from the Iberian Peninsula to Germany (the same ancestry as the Anglo Saxon, Jutes, etc.). They interbred with them, periodically, across time as their tribes travelled - in both directions - from the mainland to Briton and back in opposite directions to settle and trade. The Anglo Saxons never replaced the majority population. They interbred with them while their language and culture influenced those groups and was adopted over time. Do you have any real understanding of how sparse, desolate and empty these isles were even with the arrival of modern human settlers? I will give you a rough estimate: in around 5,000 BC the population is estimated to have been less than 6,000. You could have walked around for a month and not passed by any other human. So to those who claim that the earlier peoples on these isles, of which the majority of British people’s ancestors still intermixed with, had more claim than those who created what [our ancient] modern human settlers actually achieved is crazy. They never had ‘their lands taken from them’ because they were so sparse and spread out, following herds of prehistoric animals from here to the mainland (sea levels were lower; this land was joined to it), across forests and inhospitable tundra, that they never built civilisation as we would know it. They were not permanently residing in one spot. They constantly moved and shifted around (across huge expanses of land). You cannot compare thousands of years of people settling on these groups of islands who were and still are genetically and culturally similar, slowly building this nation into what it is, to a handful of decades of millions of people being brought across and claiming equal heritage rights to the land. Are you suggesting that Indians had no priority ancestral birthright to have removed the British and that those actually had equal claims to their land? Even so, those first modern human settlers to these isles interbred with the earlier ones (Cheddar Man era; themselves hunter gathers who arrived from the Middle East to Europe earlier) and with the original Europeans, the Neanderthals. We are a genetic mixed bag of them all. We can claim ancient hereditary on both the European continent and the British Isles. We can also claim that, for thousands of years, our ancestors built these nations from the dense woodlands up - clearing them, farming them and building civilisation on top of them. Across hundreds of generations. In both instances, can you? If not, your opinion is irrelevant. I hope you also inform indigenous Bantu Zulu tribes of South Africa (whose ancestors arrived there having travelled down from Western Africa only a millennium prior to the first white settlers arriving and displacing the native San) or the New Zealand Māoris (who travelled from Polynesia across and attacked the first settlers there, less than a millennium ago) that they are ‘foreign’ and have no rights to their now deemed to be ‘indigenous’ lands too.’
Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed comment. I completely get where you're coming from, and I agree-it’s fascinating to think about how our ancestors shaped these lands over thousands of years. The history of settlement, intermixing, and cultural evolution across Britain is so unique and complex, and it’s what makes the heritage of these islands so special. The idea of ‘foreign’ or ‘indigenous’ becomes so blurry when you look at the constant movement and blending of people through history. I think it’s really important to celebrate and respect that depth of history, rather than dismissing it with oversimplified narratives. You’ve explained it brilliantly!
@@CeltainianChronicalsThank you, and I look forward to more brilliant content. God knows, this nation desperately needs more like it to counter the vile lies being spread to deliberately deny us our true heritage. 🏴
@maria18902 These are certainly remarkable times for the English and British people. While we have faced many challenges throughout history, we have always found a way to persevere and overcome them.
@@CeltainianChronicals I ponder, a lot, on what options we have which could greatly assist to try to remedy the spread of the problem. We seriously need to start promoting the review of national policies regarding citizenship (a no brainer). Take the following example to contemplate regarding the UAE and citizenship for foreign born people. I have friends who have lived in Dubai for around two decades, where their children were born, and the following applies. These are their rules: ‘Children born to expatriates in Dubai do not automatically receive UAE citizenship. According to UAE nationality laws, citizenship is primarily based on the principle of jus sanguinis, meaning nationality is passed through the bloodline rather than the place of birth. Therefore, a child born to foreign parents in Dubai will inherit the citizenship of their parents, not the UAE. The laws do not grant automatic citizenship to children born in the UAE to foreign parents.’ Maybe we should consider implementing similar hereditary based laws regarding citizenship too? Is it not rather ironic that Pakistan, as another example, has far more stringent demands placed on others who wish to become citizens (again not guaranteed by birthrights) than we do in reverse? One such demand is to be fluent in one of the languages from the immediate region. It is also not party to the 1951 convention relating to the Status of Refugees/1967 Protocol neither has it enacted any national legislation for the protection of refugees. Yet we accept its citizens under those? (Hardly fair.) Another example is Tanzania: 'Tanzania's current government has signaled its intention to prioritize returning refugees to their home countries over local integration. They are not allowed to leave the camps to work, trade, or go to school!' [Sourced NRC, March 2019] Another irony, as we receive asylum seekers from Tanzania. A nation which neighbouring African citizens flee to, for safety, yet is apparently so unsafe that its citizens are arriving here. [Economic? 🧐 🤔] In my humble opinion, we need to abolish birthright citizenship (with retrospective laws introduced and applied to those who, wrongfully, obtained citizenship via abused loopholes - not satisfying traditionally accepted routes of citizenship). It is one way, going forward, to drastically stop this mess. Let’s see if this comment stays up because whenever I suggest similar elsewhere my comments are swiftly removed. 😉
@maria18902 What I believe is important is to point out is that the English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish are the true native people of these lands. Just like other countries recognise and protect their indigenous populations, we need to be seen and respected as the rightful natives of these islands. It’s ridiculous that our own government doesn’t recognise us as native people, even though we have a deeper historical and cultural connection to this land than anyone else. This lack of recognition undermines our identity and what makes us who we are. Personally, rather than focusing on other people, I think we should concentrate on building ourselves up in a positive way. We need to understand where we come from, who we are, and take pride in our shared heritage. For me, this is the priority. It’s not about excluding others but about making sure that we, as the native people of these lands, are valued and protected, just as other indigenous groups are in their own countries. It’s about making sure future generations know their history and their roots. Recognising the English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish as the true native people here is essential for preserving who we are and continuing our culture into the future.
There is no scenario in which a Brit can say this, whilst also actively taking from nations and giving them reasons to never forgive. All of Britain needs to repent massively before they could or even should get sympathy.
I'm from Salford and my family heritage goes back to North Derbyshire and Cheshire. I'm 89 percent English NorthWest and 11 percent Irish. 🏴🏴 Even though I've lived in England, Scotland and Wales it's about time we as a people reclaim our heritage. There seems to be a prevailing though amongst some, where the "saint George's flag" is seen as faintly racist and usually featured by football hooligans in world cups again and again. Im English first and then British second. Even though I may not be Brythonic I'm still a Briton.
you're not british. you are, if anything, 89% foreign pagan invader whose people arrived on small boats across the channel without passports and obliterated the native people stole their land, replaced their language, culture, laws and religion... and 11% irish. neither is british. you are a settler colonial invader and you'll never belong.
I've just stumbled across your channel [this video was recommended to me by the algorithm] and, as an Englishman, can say I'm proud of how you've used historic, geographic, and genetic facts to tell the true story of England (and Britain as a whole for that matter). Liked and subscribed 👍
Firstly, I now know I mix up the statues. Apologies.
I’m currently on holiday until February, so my next video will be released then. I usually post a new video each week, and I’ll resume my regular schedule once I return.
I want to make it clear that I support all peoples, whether Japanese, Egyptians, French, Native Americans, Chinese, Malians, or Greeks, thriving and building amazing societies for themselves. Each culture brings something unique and valuable to the world, and preserving that diversity is essential. My goal is to promote harmony, avoid war and decadence, and stand against hate in all its forms. I created this video because I deeply care about the rich variety of cultures across the world. A world where everyone is moulded into the same culture would be unimaginably dull and tragic.
It's a shame that the longer that this goes on, the harder it will be to stop the trend, due to the erosion of ethnic identity. It's a shame that Asia and Africa are still allowed to fight for maintaining their ethnic heritage but Europe has to lay down and die. This cultural and political drive to replace Europeans is betrayal of the highest order.
@Voting-does-nothing It's the lack of religion that allowed this new ideology to form. You can see it happening in countries like Korea and Japan as well. If muslim countries face the same secularization in the future, they will have the same problem. Many people need religion to have moral values.
This is the Way.
All humans evolved in Africa. If immigrants can not be considered part of the country they migrate to ( even later generations born here), then everyone is still African! The English people WERE immigrants. So were the iron age celts they conquered. The bronze age people's immigrated here and slaughtered the builders of stonehenge. Somebody found an empty land and settled first but it weren't the English.
Agree. Cultures are best appreciated 'in situ'.
British born 2nd gen Sikh here, I am not English, my nationality is British according to my passport. However, I’m a guest here. A guest that does my part to the country as clean as possible, adopted the culture, adopted the values, pay taxes, work a job I’m proud of, fully enjoy the native cuisine, enjoy the traditions, my religion isn’t Christianity, however the country should be Christian. The natives should NOT be ashamed of their heritage. I not only respect this country, I fcking love it. It has given me a life.
If it kicks off, I’m fighting for the country that I’ve called home since birth, just like the Sikhs that are currently serving in the armed forces. My forefathers fought alongside the British in both world wars, that’s something I’m proud of.
Call me what you want, I don’t care. I know what I am, and what I am not.
Anglo-Saxon people should embrace their heritage and should not let it be forgotten.
Thank you for being so respectful. I've always found Sikhs to show great respect towards English and British people and culture, especially in my personal experience dating back to the 1980s. I appreciate your understanding. As Ive explained in the video, this isn’t about excluding others but about recognising that we have our own culture and way of life, which should be allowed to thrive through its people just as all cultures should be able to flourish.
Sadly, it seems that the English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish are no longer given the space to thrive in their own lands. The loss of a culture is akin to the extinction of a species.

People forget British is a wide identity as opposed to English. You can be British but not English. The British identity goes back a long way. Pakistani, Indians and Bangladeshis have been British for centuries. Many British Pakistani Muslims have been subjects of the Crown for generations from Victorian times when India was a British colony since 1857. Moreoever, many English people settled and married into the Indian Subcontinent and made the Indian Subcontinent part of the British identity. Let's nor forget the countles Muslim and Sikhs who fought to Britain in both World Wars as subjects of the Crown. So Yes, you can be Pakistani British, Indian Britisha and every other kind of British who were once part of the colonies. Being White and English isn't the only way to be British - just ask the Welsh and the Celts.
@@wonderer7029 You could be a British subject when the British empire existed. The British empire no longer exists. The colonies understandably wanted sovereignty over their homelands. I am glad it was given back. Now this is our land and the same rules apply, native people should be sovereign. I cannot go to Italy and claim to be Italian because my family was once under the Roman Empire.
Now we are just the island nations, the united kingdoms of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, and England, there is no such think as non-native British. Being British is not like being an American, being British is being part of one of our native ethnic groups. You are welcome to live here but you are not Scots, Irish, Welsh, or Anglo-Saxon i.e. you are not British. If you want to be British again you would need to your native nations to come under colonial rule again. Your idea that anyone can be British is the idea of a coloniser. Live here and be happy to be Indian in Britain, but do not pretend to be British.
I have no idea why your people fought in the wars. Maybe to stop the third Reich coming to India, to fight for the Empire that no longer exists? They did not fight for the homeland of the British. I can assure you the men and women from these islands that fought, fought for their families and their homeland. They did not fight for the King, nor the idea of Britain.

I get your viewpoint but I want to claim mine, for my true love of England, and therefore a Britain with its diverse Scott welsh Celt etc peoples. I came in 2006, 11 years old and son of an immigrant Bulgarian Slavic family. I was already exposed to cultural aspects of Britain before and used to have the national footy kit, a Union Jack hat, listened to many 2000s punk and pop bands, just anything to do with the study of English with the idea that being already malleable in spirit, one day I’d adopt this spirit of the Anglo-Saxon soon to be host nation of mine.
I came here and did everything in my power to integrate, and was shocked that foreign born children were incredibly racist towards me with the English kids being far more accommodating (this is London). I fell in love with the history, the Alma matter, I studied etymology history philosophy and excelled in school while also sadly growing bitter at the disdain that was openly spoken about by foreign born kids about how pathetic or deserving the English are for colonialism. Sometimes I was pitted with these same sorts by nationalists only because I wasn’t born on this great soil, though I knew and felt my being, my soul, and my heart to be English. The attempts from either party to shift me bothered me not for in me I felt nestled that old stock spirit of the great men and women of these isles whom I read about as a youth and to this day.
I’ve volunteered and managed a charity for years, and was lucky enough to become part of a beautiful community in East London with lots of commendations by the elderly and young alike for how well spoken, polite, and kind I was. None knew that I was from Bulgaria. I’m fiercely nationalist for this great land and I lament at how much the people, us, are betrayed by those which import Islamic anything which is destroying all that is dear here.
I want it to be known especially to those politically and socially suicidal cowards of the leftist and elite disposition that should there be a movement at sorting out the mass flooding of foreign born parasites who hate this land, I will be at the spearhead singing songs of old. And should I for some reason be thrown in the last boat away from here for nothing other than the mere fact I were not born here - I will hold the St. George flag by my breast thankful I was ever touched by whatever great spirit that transcended here among you all, for in me there is an unsettling Sun far above nationality but it was given to me here in my beloved England, in the tongue of my Anglo-Saxon kin.
It is not by some vain colonial effort that English was my second and more spoken tongue when I was only 2 years old, but by divine grace. Though I was born elsewhere, I know myself and forever will be a Briton.

@desj2584 im aware they're distinct which is why i seperated them into their respective names, i celebrate that difference and have acknowledged the invasion of Danes, Angles etc with the native Britonnic and Celt cultures.

The irish right now with the northern ireland thing i also hold dear, the crown was never right in that regard. Lastly, id like to think that after 1000 years we are all under the banner of Christ so that no nationality prevails, so no im not mixing anyone up.
Petty nationalism aside and the english tendency to be a bit up the arse about lost glory, i think we ought to celebrate what we have here and strive to be one whole as seperate peoples. If we dont, we'll be having a minaret atop Big Ben before 2030

As an East Anglian, with both maternal and paternal sets of Great-grandparents resting in Suffolk and Essex Churchyards, I've always raised an eyebrow at newcomers attaching my heritage to themselves. You can't just claim an identity just because you live there, just as I couldn't move out to Beijing and start calling myself Chinese. Even if I was born there, my stock is still undeniably English. I would challenge any of the 'new English' to walk around Bury St Edmunds with me, tell me what connection they feel as they walk through the ground. What do the War memorials mean to them? How they can associate themselves with the timber-framed houses, the Medieval Churches, the Greens and hollow ways. Going into the museums, can they imagine their ancestors using the artefacts displayed there? Their folk were thousands of miles away when mine created the towns and villages around us today, living off the land, knowing every path, cottage and field in the vicinity. The bond is unbreakable, and non-transferable, no matter what the grifters try and pretend.
My predominant DNA is East Anglian and Essex. Fully backed up by family tree.

Most of the problems come from the ones who dont, despite being born here and identify themselves as something else.
Couldn't agree more! I'm a son of this land, I know my ancestry and where in this country I came from, although today I live on the opposite side in east Anglia. My father's family come from the north west, mainly west Yorkshire, Westmoreland, Cumberland and the Highlands of Scotland, going back for centuries if not millennia. My mother's family is no less varied with connections to the south SW, the SE and Yorkshire too. I have ancesters buried in graveyards in what is today central Liverpool, but 300 years ago was a small town. Further north in Silverdale and Carnforth generations of my family buried in small church yards. When I walk the ground, smell the air and hear the sounds I feel a sense of belonging that I do not feel in another land. The lay of the land that has been cultivated and managed by our ancestors is laid out before you, the shape of the fields all mean something. I am a Brit and that has a profound meaning. When someone who has acquired citizenship says they’re as British me the insult is indescribable, they're not british, not in the way I am. Give it a few generations you might be but today you're just someone who's come here to live.

British culture? our culture was exported to the entire world. Trends, cultural norms, fashion, and technology around the world feel generic to us because we invented them.
The reason a suit and tie is the business attire of the world is because that’s the suit the Victorians wore when they exported industry and business to the world. If Japan had colonised the world we may view suits as traditional, and kimonos as generic.
The reason China can produce all our stuff is because we gave them the Industrial Revolution, which is an absolutely incredible part of our culture and it’s remnants are seen everywhere around us, especially up north.
The reason sandwiches are eaten everywhere is because we brought them to other countries, they’re a British food, just as sushi is Japanese, but they seem generic because they’re so common around the word.
The reason why army’s all over the world salute each other is because of English knights. They used to do a saluting motion to lift their visor up on their helmets when they wanted to talk to each other.
Our language is literally spoken everywhere. If Britain never had a navy we’d probably have french as the world language, and Americans would speak Spanish, French, and German.
British music, together with African American music, set the standard for all modern music.
The postage system, the parliamentary system, industrial production, The television, the radio, modern medicine, the way that we categorise animals and plants, the idea of a white Christmas, a subway transit system, sound recording, the internet, modern naval navigation, trains, submarines, economics, antibiotics, vaccination, cloning, Christmas cards, pencils, radar, the baby buggy, glasses, toilets, toothbrushes, and even a whole religion (CoE).
That’s not just a list of inventions - they’re massive parts of our culture. Without us exporting them, people around the world may be brushing their teeth with neems rather than a toothbrush, carrying babies in a sling rather than a pram, praying to a different religion, writing with an ink brush rather than a pencil, using a squat toilet rather than a seat, trading yams rather than Christmas cards, celebrating Christmas beetles instead of snow, and the slave trade might be in place today without us abolishing it and freeing any slave ships the Royal Navy encountered etc etc.
There isn’t anything wrong with any of those things obviously, they’re just different cultural ways of doing things, but the world uses the British ways which is why we see our culture as generic. Not because it actually is generic, but rather we have shared it with everyone.
British culture goes back much further than the Victorian era. Our holidays and mythologies, for example, are connected in a blend of Christianity and Celtic/Anglo-Saxon pagan traditions. Halloween, for instance, originates from the Celtic festival of Samhain, later Christianised into All Hallows’ Eve. Mythological stories like King Arthur and tales from The Mabinogion reflect the rich cultural heritage of early Britain.
The culture exported by the British Empire also brought innovations that shaped the world, but these were built upon centuries of development within Britain itself. Democracy, in its modern form, a start in British political history, from the Magna Carta to the parliamentary system that inspired democracies worldwide. Our iconic cathedrals showcase centuries of Christian architectural and artistic influence.
While we’ve been influenced by external cultures (like Norman French, which contributed to our language), Britain has undeniably given far more than it has taken. The Industrial Revolution wasn’t just about machinery it was the culmination of centuries of ingenuity and progress, shared with the world. The British Empire didn’t just adopt Victorian trends; it drew from a vast and ancient cultural wellspring to shape global practices. Perhaps it’s worth exploring the deeper history behind what’s often attributed to more recent periods.
@ i know but I didn’t want to type the entire history. Also you described English culture not British.
@Ourjudd my apologies! I read it in the wrong context. You're absolutely right 👍 🙏
Cravat which became the tie, is named after Croats and was taken up by the French to show support for their fight.

Vest latin

There is a lot of history before the Victorians.
However the story that cultures influenced each other, is by no means an advocation for the 'American melting pot' where all loose their identity under a centrally directed 'wokism' which is in my view killing diverse brilliant individual cultures not just in the UK but around the world.

1. Speak English
2. Love England
3. Respect the English
4. Have a deep understanding and respect of the history.
5. If you don't like it or respect us, leave.
6. If you're staying, become culturally English.
7. Leave you're home culture in your home country, for it is your culture that created your unlivable country.
8. In the hearts and minds of the English, England is not your country, and you are just a visitor until the above have been fulfilled.
Unapologetically loud and proud, we owe the world nothing and deserve nothing but the best

It's difficult to ascertain the founding date of any nation. However, most would agree that when various tribes unite under one King who is then declared the King of France as Philip was, that is a good start. So who exactly is being pedantic about it, me or YOU !

As a Greek/Australian currently living in Greece, I can also confirm that I can never be a true English person. According to logic, I will never be able to become English because of my ancestry and ethnicity, having Greek blood. Many people might say that you can become English if you adhere to the same values and culture of Britain and can communicate in English. However, while adopting British values and culture can foster a sense of belonging, the essence of identity often runs deeper than mere cultural assimilation. It involves a complex interplay of personal experiences, heritage, and the intrinsic connection one feels to their roots
The British Greeks are the best. Never met a Brit Greek who wasn’t warm, funny and friendly. I’m English, very English, but I live in Australia as hubby is an Aussie. He’s genetically a Celt, and we tease each other about it. lol.

English is an ethnicity that describes genetic descendants of the Anglo-Saxons blended with native britons and Scandinavians.
British is a nationality like being Roman or American.
I'd say British is an ethnicity too. It's just a broader grouping of several closely related ethnicities. To say you're British is basically just a vaguer way of saying you're either English, Scottish, Welsh or a mix of these.
However being British in the sense that you're simply a citizen of the UK? Then yes, definitely just a nationality.

A great & refreshing video! There must be a revival of the English identity, one which harkens back to our origins. English has become so mainstream to the point where it no longer has any meaning or sanctity. Amongst many other factors I believe that American soft power has greatly contributed to the diminishment of English culture, as today even here in Britain we are becoming Americanised.
Yes, I completely agree. This is one of the main reasons I’ve been making these videos. There’s so much history, culture, mythology, and storytelling that has been forgotten and is no longer taught in schools. I remember as a kid we used to celebrate festivals like May Day and Harvest Day, things that I’m not even sure are mentioned anymore.
On the negative side, I think the issue isn’t just American influence but also globalisation, which seems to be having a much bigger impact than we often realise. That said, there are examples like Poland, where they’ve managed to preserve their culture and traditions despite globalisation. It shows that it’s possible to resist losing touch with who we are, but it takes effort and awareness.
I’m Scottish & we certainly don’t act like Americans infact there so far removed from Scot’s I find your statement false.

I love my home, but I am a Gael, through and through. I have bright blue eyes, and ginger hairs among the brown, but, the biggest genetic giveaway that I wasn't aware of, is my Voice; I started studying opera under a Baritone, an ENO veteran of 40 years, who asked me, 2nd session in to my journey back in 2019, if I was at all Welsh or Irish. Apparently, a pure and strong Tenor voice is extremely rare for an Englishman, and the few he had ever heard in his 40 years at ENO, had a particularly barrel-like tonality in the Secondo Passagio area of the voice that just couldn't be faked. It's such a strange giveaway to me, but that's DNA for you!
Anyhow, all this is my small opinion nobody asked for, but, if you want to take it from an "Irish-Saxon's" experience, I say that, the worst thing to happen to the English identity, was British imperialism. The English have every right to be themselves, without being hag-ridden by shame, and the idea that they have to supress themselves because of their history. You do you are words to live by.
It’s funny you mention all of this because it sounds surprisingly similar to my own story. I have green eyes, but like you, I had reddish hair growing up, and I also have a baritone voice. I used to be a musician too and made the same discovery about my voice, which I found fascinating. On my father’s side, my family comes from Ireland, while my mother’s side is from Lancashire. It’s interesting how much these traits, whether physical or vocal, can trace back to our genetic and cultural heritage. It seems like we share quite a bit in common!

The term "Indo-European" is an interesting one, we cannot use the proper historical term, for political reasons, Aryan, that is.
Germans say "Indo-Germanisch"
Phonetics matter in our related languages.
From my Irish bias here is a few examples.
Iran, Eire, Aryan.
Irish, Irisch, Arisch,
Aryan means Noble. What is associated with nobility? Chivalry and horse riding, marital skills, intelligence and manners.

No, they are two different things. Indo-European is an umbrella term of which the Aryans were a subgroup. You are just ignorant of the linguistic terms
The PIE root that gave rise to the word 'Aryan' probably meant something like 'noble'. There is no evidence that it was used as an ethnic self-designation by the Proto-Indo-Europeans in general. This was most likely a later development within the Indo-Aryan group.
After many generations the soil is literally in the blood, the shared historical experience of the land and culture becomes deeply rooted at a genetic level. That cannot be learned..

"Aryan" was originally termed Heryan which supposedly meant "kinsmen", not some follower of Hinduism which meant nothing Beaker people of the Corded Ware people.
Corded Ware and Yamnaya people. It denoted a specific genetic people - who were Nordic. Not just an abstract concept.
This is somewhat incorrect. You are correct in saying it’s not a religious term from Hinduism, but the rest is a gross oversimplification that is actually far from the actuality of it… I’m sure what you’ve read or heard is partially correct, but when you look at thousands of years of linguistic history lumped into one sentence and viewed from the vantage point of ‘now’ it’s easy to misinterpret the facts.
The term ‘Ariyan’ is first attested by peoples from the Iranian plateau, and we believe that the andronovo culture may have been the birthplace for the particular sub language language of the greater indo European language family that used this term as a self designation. Not the corded ware or bell beaker peoples
This is a common misconception that is misapplied to the indo Europeans of northwest Europe, who have a separate evolution to the ‘Aryans’ of the indo Europeans of the Iranian language families

whats Irish to do with being "British"?
I see English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish as the majority ethnic groups of Britain. So someone who is of pure Indian ancestry cannot be described as any of these in my opinion. However, the term British is nationality and that can be applicable to the ethnic minority groups.
If they support India, Pakistan in the cricket they're not British culturally either.
Great content. But as for Christianity, it did not come to Britain with the Roman German missionary St Augustine of Canterbury in the late 6th century.
St. Augustine reintroduced Christianity to the part of Britain that became England because the English tribes replaced the native Christianity in their areas and later kingdoms with there Germanic paganism.
The Church still existed elsewhere in Britain and there may even have been secret Christians still in some English kingdoms. When St. Augustine arrived, he and King Ethelbert set up a meeting with the native bishops of the British church. The British bishops were most hospitable as was British custom but St. Augustine took advantage of their hospitality and shown disrespect and contempt to the British bishops and the Britons. This led to a breakdown of relations between the British Church and the newly established English Church which shaped relations between the two Christian communities for the following generations.
Thanks for the detailed comment! You make some great points about the reintroduction of Christianity by St. Augustine and the existing tensions between the Roman mission and the native British Church. It’s true that Augustine’s mission wasn’t bringing, Christianity to Britain for the first time. Christianity had already reached Britain during the Roman occupation, likely as early as the 3rd century. There’s evidence of early Christian communities, including British bishops attending the Council of Arles in 314 AD, showing how it was here before the Anglo-Saxon migrations.
Its amazing how those migrations disrupted the Christian presence in eastern and central Britain, leading to a revival of Germanic paganism. St. Augustine’s mission in the late 6th century was as much about converting the Anglo-Saxons as it was about rebuilding Christianity in areas where it had been displaced.
The tension between Augustine and the native British Church is particularly interesting. His approach, as you pointed out, seems to have been less than diplomatic, which is unfortunate. The differences in tradition and authority between the British and Roman churches clearly created a rift that persisted for generations.
St Augustine introduced it to England, not to Britain as a whole.
Some of the Welsh didn't want to try and convert the English (due to how the pagan English invaded and took their Christian country), which is why a Roman was sent instead.
St Columba introduced Christianity in Scotland in the fifth century , Iona 563.
@Parker_Douglas Aye, the Welsh, Irish and Scottish had Christianity before the English. But Christianity existed in what became England before it was reintroduced after Germanic paganism took root. There is some evidence that there was Christianity in Scotland before St. Columba too, so it was a reintroduction there also. Look up St. Ninian in the 4th century.

@that1ginger22 long man? You're all 5ft 😉
I am from Germany, but we face the same issue. Boomers have tried their best to redefine what it means to be of a people and have clinged to a definition that is bound to values, which might work for countries like America that were founded upon certain believes, but is utterly ignogrant of other people's heritages and histories.
Furthermore, these values, from country to country seem to be more or less the same. You hear the terms of "european" and "western" values being thrown around. But when it is for these values that one supposedly becomes German or Spanish or British and these values all all appear to be the same, then what sets us apart as independant people of our own? The consequent answer is that we could well all be one people, a European people. And you can see the endeavors of creating the legal frameworks for such a people manifest in political parties like Volt, that campain throughout the entire EU in every memberstate and persue the goal of a more centralised EU.
So not only is this Ideology practically set up to have us be forever changed by outside influences, but it also desolves us all from within.
I completely agree with you. Europeans are connected through our values, culture, and DNA, yet we still maintain our own unique identities. It’s pretty obvious when you think about it. The further apart people are geographically, the more culturally and genetically different they tend to be. You can see shared genetic markers across Europe that link populations from Ireland to Poland, yet regional differences remain, like the higher prevalence of Celtic ancestry in Western Europe and Slavic influences in the East. Culturally, we share similar traditions, such as seasonal festivals, folklore, and architectural styles, but each country and region adds its own twist, like the differences between Mediterranean cuisine and Nordic traditions. Of course, there are exceptions, like Australia, South Africa, and even America.

thats the way the japanese do it, to preserve their culture, cant be japanese just by being born there.
To be anglo is technically a cultural group. We are germanic and celtic but mostly Germanic. The "anglo saxons" were scandinavian and German collectively. But this would absorb the vikings later as well.
We are a distinct people yes and our culture is important to me. I find the repression of our history very frustrating.
However english people are a distinct ethnic group but not a race... we are Germanic and celtic but germanic mostly and so our "race" would be germanic like vikings and Germans and so on.
But yes the english are real 100%
"we are Germanic and Celtic but mostly Germanic" actually its the opposite the highest Saxon dna was around 40% and that was rare in certain places closer to the continent. The majority in England have around 10-20% anglo Saxon with small drops of Norse and the bulk is native Celtic.
@sully8317 You are talking not of cultural heritage, but of race now most celts aren't full celts either. So, your subjective and situational observation is irrelevant to this point.
The english is a cultural group closely but not exclusively linked to a massive mix of germanic and celtic people, all collectively called anglo saxon, not by the english but other Europeans.
The cultural group is most defined by its germanic influence and was founded on it but incorporated celtic early on.
What I said is still 100% correct.
@sully8317 also "native celtic" this is another myth. The celts are all Irish in origin, and the Britons so named by Rome are not connected by any facts, only guess. To be native is to be from a place so as the english originated in England they are native weather celt or not while the celts are not native because they are celtic as the celts are from Ireland.
@sully8317you’re completely wrong. It’s 30-40% Anglo Saxon, 20% Celtic and the rest broadly Germanic and NW European. So the average modern Englishman is infact 80% Germanic, speaks a Germanic language and has a Germanic culture. Wales and Scots have 40-50% Celtic DNA. BE QUIET.
@@theangryimp1345 'The celts are all Irish in origin, and the Britons so named by Rome are not connected by any facts, only guess.

That is completely incorrect and must be one of the most uninformed comments I've ever read on the topic.
,First, the word Celt comes from the Greek Keltoi. It was a term used to describe the cultural group from central Europe... the ancient Greeks had never even met the Irish at this point in time.
Secondly, the Celts were not a homogenous group like the Angles and Saxons; there were many Celtic peoples/tribes. Celt/Celtic culture was shared throughout central and western Europe, the Iberian peninsula, and the British Isles.
thirdly, Britain was not 'named by Romans' it is the Latinised form of Pritani, a Greek form of the Ancient Bitish name for themselves and is believed to mean "the painted people" and first appears in the writings of the Greek explorer Pytheas in the late 4th century BC.
I'm Cymry a descendant of the Britons, we were called Welsh by the none native Germanic people who came to Britain during the early medieval period about 1,600 years ago. Cymry comes from the ancient word 'combrogi/combrogos' which means 'of this land' or 'countrymen.' My language came from ancient Brytonic, a Celtic language, we call it Cumraeg, my country is called Cymru, my country is one of the six Celtic nations.
I'm not from Ireland and neither were my ancestors. My language is not from Ireland, mine is from Brytonic, theirs from Gaelic, both Celtic languages that share a lot of similarities but not the same. The Britons are from Britain.
'England' comes from Engla land a name the Anglo-Saxons created. The Britons called it Lloegr.
DNA has shown the ancestors of the 'Welsh' have been in Britain for 14,000 years, from before Britain became an Island and was still connected to the European mainland. Anglo-Saxons are not from Britain and do not have a Celtic Culture and Language, theirs is Germanic, so how on Earth can you possibly make the claim the the Celtic Bitons are not native to Britain yet the Germanic peoples from northern Europe who came to Britain 1,600 years ago are are?
Population replacement is happening in real time around us!

Every culture in the world is through migration,but we made our culture through our own efforts,we became what we are,and we are British,It does not matter what happened thousands of years ago,there were no countries then,but people settled in different places and made their cultures and countries what they are now.That is what matters ,not where these early people might or might not have come from.Because no one is really 100% sure exactly where everyone came from.In every country most people have very mixed genes

@ I was born in England so that makes me English
My ethnicity is mixed you cabbage brain
To talk about the whole anti foreign influence and cultural intermingling ideas, I believe everything you say about valuing ourselves is true and I value my "Britishness" as a core part of me, but what exactly does it mean to BE English? Sure there is the idea of being ethnically English or a pure blooded celtic Welshman or to have grown up in an all English household, but arguably a lot if not most people of different ethnic backround I know grow up and assimilate pretty well, especially if they go through education here, even if not perfectly.
Putting aside English blood or English culture - is it a bad thing to have other cultures come here? I think the answer to that is no, it's just that our culture and heritage is valuable as it exists now and in the past, which probably won't change
I get where you're coming from, and I think it's important to recognise that throughout history, whenever large numbers of people have moved into another population's land, it’s never been a case of peaceful coexistence-one culture always ends up dominating or even replacing the other. Take the Bell Beaker people moving into Britain, for example. They replaced much of the original Neolithic population, both culturally and genetically. The Romans did the same when they arrived, imposing their laws, language, and way of life, which fundamentally changed the native British culture. More recently, we've seen similar patterns across the world-just look at what happened to the Native Americans or the Aboriginal Australians.
Small numbers of immigrants, say 1% or less, can usually integrate without drastically changing the host culture. But when it happens in large numbers, those new populations inevitably start taking positions of power-controlling councils, shaping policies, and often disregarding or even replacing the traditions and values of the native people. History shows us time and time again that cultural balance doesn't last when mass migration occurs.
It’s not about rejecting other cultures-far from it. I want all cultures to thrive, but history proves that it works best when people flourish separately in their own lands, as they have for thousands of years. There’s a reason things have always been that way; it's how humanity naturally developed, preserving unique traditions and identities without being forced to compete for cultural survival within the same space.
I am so happy to have stumbled upon this video ❤🏴❤
I am growing beyond weary of reading the same repetitive responses on this platform which state something similar to ‘you are foreign anyway, go back to Germany…’. [Sellout leftwing institutions and the media are to blame for this, entirely]
I just responded to one with the following. As an English girl (with a Welsh 🏴 surname) the attempts to deny us our ancestral homelands is now making my inner Boudicca rise (sorry for length but our people’s time here has been lengthy):
‘We are not ‘foreign’. Our ancestral lineage can be proven via genetics for thousands of years upon these isles. Do you want to test the average Welshman to see? (At least 10,000 years)
The ‘Anglo Saxon’ red herring is just that. The vast majority of Brits only have between 10-20% DNA left from them (only pockets of populations have as high as 40%) and the remainder is made up of far older genetics. Irrespectively, all early modern human settlers to these Isles came from the same genetic pool as the celts from the Iberian Peninsula to Germany (the same ancestry as the Anglo Saxon, Jutes, etc.). They interbred with them, periodically, across time as their tribes travelled - in both directions - from the mainland to Briton and back in opposite directions to settle and trade.
The Anglo Saxons never replaced the majority population. They interbred with them while their language and culture influenced those groups and was adopted over time.
Do you have any real understanding of how sparse, desolate and empty these isles were even with the arrival of modern human settlers? I will give you a rough estimate: in around 5,000 BC the population is estimated to have been less than 6,000.
You could have walked around for a month and not passed by any other human.
So to those who claim that the earlier peoples on these isles, of which the majority of British people’s ancestors still intermixed with, had more claim than those who created what [our ancient] modern human settlers actually achieved is crazy. They never had ‘their lands taken from them’ because they were so sparse and spread out, following herds of prehistoric animals from here to the mainland (sea levels were lower; this land was joined to it), across forests and inhospitable tundra, that they never built civilisation as we would know it. They were not permanently residing in one spot. They constantly moved and shifted around (across huge expanses of land).
You cannot compare thousands of years of people settling on these groups of islands who were and still are genetically and culturally similar, slowly building this nation into what it is, to a handful of decades of millions of people being brought across and claiming equal heritage rights to the land.
Are you suggesting that Indians had no priority ancestral birthright to have removed the British and that those actually had equal claims to their land?
Even so, those first modern human settlers to these isles interbred with the earlier ones (Cheddar Man era; themselves hunter gathers who arrived from the Middle East to Europe earlier) and with the original Europeans, the Neanderthals. We are a genetic mixed bag of them all. We can claim ancient hereditary on both the European continent and the British Isles.
We can also claim that, for thousands of years, our ancestors built these nations from the dense woodlands up - clearing them, farming them and building civilisation on top of them. Across hundreds of generations.
In both instances, can you?
If not, your opinion is irrelevant.
I hope you also inform indigenous Bantu Zulu tribes of South Africa (whose ancestors arrived there having travelled down from Western Africa only a millennium prior to the first white settlers arriving and displacing the native San) or the New Zealand Māoris (who travelled from Polynesia across and attacked the first settlers there, less than a millennium ago) that they are ‘foreign’ and have no rights to their now deemed to be ‘indigenous’ lands too.’
Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed comment. I completely get where you're coming from, and I agree-it’s fascinating to think about how our ancestors shaped these lands over thousands of years. The history of settlement, intermixing, and cultural evolution across Britain is so unique and complex, and it’s what makes the heritage of these islands so special. The idea of ‘foreign’ or ‘indigenous’ becomes so blurry when you look at the constant movement and blending of people through history. I think it’s really important to celebrate and respect that depth of history, rather than dismissing it with oversimplified narratives. You’ve explained it brilliantly!

@maria18902 These are certainly remarkable times for the English and British people. While we have faced many challenges throughout history, we have always found a way to persevere and overcome them.
@@CeltainianChronicals
I ponder, a lot, on what options we have which could greatly assist to try to remedy the spread of the problem.
We seriously need to start promoting the review of national policies regarding citizenship (a no brainer). Take the following example to contemplate regarding the UAE and citizenship for foreign born people. I have friends who have lived in Dubai for around two decades, where their children were born, and the following applies.
These are their rules:
‘Children born to expatriates in Dubai do not automatically receive UAE citizenship. According to UAE nationality laws, citizenship is primarily based on the principle of jus sanguinis, meaning nationality is passed through the bloodline rather than the place of birth. Therefore, a child born to foreign parents in Dubai will inherit the citizenship of their parents, not the UAE. The laws do not grant automatic citizenship to children born in the UAE to foreign parents.’
Maybe we should consider implementing similar hereditary based laws regarding citizenship too?
Is it not rather ironic that Pakistan, as another example, has far more stringent demands placed on others who wish to become citizens (again not guaranteed by birthrights) than we do in reverse? One such demand is to be fluent in one of the languages from the immediate region.
It is also not party to the 1951 convention relating to the Status of Refugees/1967 Protocol neither has it enacted any national legislation for the protection of refugees.
Yet we accept its citizens under those? (Hardly fair.)
Another example is Tanzania:
'Tanzania's current government has signaled its intention to prioritize returning refugees to their home countries over local integration.
They are not allowed to leave the camps to work, trade, or go to school!' [Sourced NRC, March 2019]
Another irony, as we receive asylum seekers from Tanzania. A nation which neighbouring African citizens flee to, for safety, yet is apparently so unsafe that its citizens are arriving here. [Economic? 🧐 🤔]
In my humble opinion, we need to abolish birthright citizenship (with retrospective laws introduced and applied to those who, wrongfully, obtained citizenship via abused loopholes - not satisfying traditionally accepted routes of citizenship). It is one way, going forward, to drastically stop this mess.
Let’s see if this comment stays up because whenever I suggest similar elsewhere my comments are swiftly removed. 😉
@maria18902 What I believe is important is to point out is that the English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish are the true native people of these lands. Just like other countries recognise and protect their indigenous populations, we need to be seen and respected as the rightful natives of these islands. It’s ridiculous that our own government doesn’t recognise us as native people, even though we have a deeper historical and cultural connection to this land than anyone else. This lack of recognition undermines our identity and what makes us who we are.
Personally, rather than focusing on other people, I think we should concentrate on building ourselves up in a positive way. We need to understand where we come from, who we are, and take pride in our shared heritage. For me, this is the priority. It’s not about excluding others but about making sure that we, as the native people of these lands, are valued and protected, just as other indigenous groups are in their own countries.
It’s about making sure future generations know their history and their roots. Recognising the English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish as the true native people here is essential for preserving who we are and continuing our culture into the future.
