The Celtic Myth Creates An Elite and Demonises England...

The Houses of Parliament - home of the so-called 'UK' Parliament - which discriminates against its largest, most ethnically diverse country, England, in favour of white tribal myths in Scotland and Wales. The interests of fifty six million people versus the privileges of eight. No contest. The Parliamentary hogs from all corners of the UK will never initiate just change, and will continue to demonize England - for as long as they can. The situation is not sustainable in the long term as more and more people in England, of all ethnicities, are beginning to wake up to the facts.

One of the biggest causes of artificial divisions between the English, Scots and Welsh is the use of the word "Celt" or "Celtic".

It has been proven by DNA studies that the English were and are not Anglo Saxons, the Anglo Saxons (who didn't call themselves that) were a minority who married in to the existing population to form the early English, and the Scots and Welsh were and are not Celts.

That's all down to Welsh Nationalist Edward Lhuyd's jottings in 1707.

It's a myth. There may be cultural or linguistic influences (even that is uncertain), but we are not separate ancient tribes - and certainly not ancient WHITE tribes.

The fact that the 'Anglo Saxons' were a minority who mixed with the existing population to form the early English is fascinating. So there is continuity in England, back to prehistoric times, and the original foundation of Englishness was an inclusive mixing of newcomers with people already here. This opens up interesting avenues to explore in the light of the DNA discoveries - the origins of the English language (the so-called Anglo Saxons did not arrive with the English language all already to unpack, and, logically, it must have evolved as a fusion with the existing population) and culture (a minority could not have vanquished all pre-existing culture), for instance. But the timidity of historians and the bristling hostility to anything which questions the entrenched beliefs of the so-called 'Celtic Nations' prohibits this.

The so-called Celts have become another group oppressed and abused by the awful English in centuries past.

The term is often used in a racist sense by some Welsh, Scots and even Cornish (bandwagon-jumpers) writers and campaigners to imply a sense of belonging to this island far more than the people of England - or, in the case of Cornwall, the rest of England.

So, why do so many English bloggers and web site owners seem so happy to perpetuate the myth?

Were we once Romano-British? Nonsensical phrase - the Romans left hardly any genetic footprint. They occupied and ruled. An impact on culture? Most certainly! But not enough genes to have created a 'Romano-British' ethnicity. Are we or our language 'Germanic'? A term coined in relatively recent times. Rather an odd classification when viewed with modern DNA evidence. Celts? DNA evidence uncovers the truth, and we now have an exciting chance to view our real history, free of the likes of the Venerable Bede and Edward Lhuyd angles. 

But no, we musn't upset the ridiculous Celtic narratives of a tiny minority outside of England.

On another matter, the sins of Empire... Scotland had already bankrupted itself on a colonial venture before union with England, and was disproportionately active in the British Empire. Ireland was partitioned by a Welsh Prime Minister with fervent backing from Scots Protestant MPs.

Let's look at Wales. Let's say it hadn't been annexed into the Kingdom of England. Well, an alternative scenario might be interesting to look at. Let's say England had erected a wall between itself and this much smaller country. It will almost certainly have been invaded and there would be no Welsh identity today. No propping up its finances with Barnett largesse. Goodness knows what it would have been like today, but it would not contain people like Rhodri Morgan, proudly saying, 'We've made the English jealous!' as he abolished prescription charges for even millionaires - on English Barnett Formula largesse.

It may have been much nicer financially for everybody in England if Wales had been absorbed and flooded by people from a nation far away.

At least we wouldn't have all this current twisted, elitist nonsense.

And let's not forget that Wales voted for Brexit. 

On the subject of inclusivity, let's not forget that immigration to England is far higher than to Scotland and Wales (even proportionally) and that the white Celtic myths and victimhood narratives of Scotland and Wales do not bear putting under any objective microscope.

And yet they get copious amounts of cream from the current system.

Once Scot Tony Blair began fanning the flames of Scots and Welsh nationalism in the late 1990s, we began a course of division and elitism, based on myths and racism.

The Barnett Formula, declared unfair to the poor of England by its late creator, Lord Joel Barnett, is still in force (and the Scots had a different formula favouring them before that), asymmetric national devolution has created the West Lothian Question in which non-representative MPs vote on English legislation, and all of this discriminates against the UK's largest and most ethnically diverse (even proportionally) country, England.

If you live in England, you have to accept that some of 'your' English legislation is decided by MPs who do not represent you, and you have no power to elect or otherwise. It is happening - just check Hansard.

The Barnett Formula provides funding on a NATIONAL basis for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, above the English funding. It does not apply to anybody living in England.

And poorer areas are not just confined to the North of England, despite the UK Government's deceitful 'regions' carve up attempts. Three of the poorest streets in England were discovered to be in the so-called 'affluent' East of England! And there are areas across the whole of England that are poorer than the Scottish average.

Every poor person (in fact every person) in England suffers the Barnett disparities. The formula is only meted out to the so-called 'nations'.

So, backing up ancient white divisive myths is a priority when it comes to a minority (eight million - the combined populations of Scotland and Wales), is it, UK Parliament?

Anti-English bile is present in places like Canada, Australia and America - eager to find fake roots (via the Celtic myth) and eagerly buying anti-English hate (England has long been a convenient scapegoat as nobody in government speaks for it), in some cases from recent forebears, in others from the myths and nonsense emanating from Scotland and Wales which have spread out there via the fake 'Celtic diaspora'.

The Mel Gibson film Braveheart is a complete work of anti-English fiction.

The bile from minorities in Scotland and Wales also creates tensions in England itself. I have heard several new arrivals in England on my everyday round who have read the bile and believe England is evil and was the sole driver of any past wrongs. 

This is not the truth, and not the way the UK Government should be dealing with things. Of course, England is demonised, and even mention of the name discouraged. There are no attempts to establish an inclusive, civic English identity.

Ironically, it was an English politician called William Wilberforce who led the fight to abolish the British slave trade from the late 1700s onwards.

The UK Parliament is no longer fit for purpose, and hasn't been for years. It tries to create further divisions in England with its attempts to carve the country up into artificial regions (solidly rejected by the North East, but the UK Government still persists), and its MPs are like pigs at a trough. There is poverty across England (ever been to Great Yarmouth?), yet millionaires get free prescriptions in Scotland and Wales, and the 'regions' of England are a recent UK Government invention, not based in history.

And we know why.

The UK Parliament is completely scurrilous, and turkeys don't vote for Christmas.

It's the same with the BBC. Furiously 'politically correct', this organisation is a piece of broken apparatus just like the UK Parliament. It bolsters up fake white Celtic myths and one-sided victimhood narratives in Scotland and Wales, blames England for everything, and backs plans to dismember it.

The largest and most ethnically diverse UK country, England, gets horribly discriminated against by the UK Parliament, and the BBC backs it. Flying an England flag in England? Aren't you a dubious individual? BBC 'journalists' turn out copious amounts of anti-English bile and historic white myths for Scotland and Wales, and nobody bats an eyelid. We dropped the licence fee many years ago and will never sponsor its outdated bigotry again.

The only ethical way forward is a complete reorganisation of 'UK' politics, with a domestic English Parliament and funding provided according to areas' needs, not ancient white myths and bristling, jingoistic, attitudes from a tiny minority in Scotland and Wales.

We're either a UK or we're not.

If a new UK which cares for ALL its countries as countries, is non-racist and inclusive and serves everybody equally is unobtainable, then the UK must go

Because it IS NOT a united kingdom at all.

Russell T Davies of the Doctor Who Revival: Inclusive and Wonderful or a Bigoted Tiny Welshman?

Russell T Davies strikes a pose. Of course, in modern Britain everybody should be equal and we all should strive for togetherness. But he regards himself as Welsh first and foremost and has an agenda.

Russell T Davies is very much a modern TV writer. He writes Coronation Street style dialogue (Queer As Folk) and corrupts other people's creations (Doctor Who). We don't find him very original at all.

But Russell believes in a world without barriers of race, gender, etc. He believes in a wonderful present and future.

Or does he?

Actually, we believe Russell to have severe racist leanings and the guy seems rather typical of a branch of the 'Woke' movement that is actually loaded with bigotry and spite.

But only against accepted groups. Every era has its accepted recipients of bigotry, and for a very long time the English and England have been accepted targets.

Russell used his early Doctor Who revival stories, for instance, to fire potshots at the English on several occasions. He even took an old socialist phrase 'Britain for the British' and turned it into 'England for the English'.

English people - of any origin - are just as likely to demean their own people and country, and this mangling of a 1902 book title by Robert Blatchford first occurred in an early 1970s Who story. We musn't offend the Scots and Welsh, of course! They are beyond reproach. Which shows the effects of the anti-England/English bias over many decades. We have been brainwashed.

Born in Wales himself, and with severe 'Little Walesian' leanings, Russell believes that his own country (of about three million souls) is somehow lovely and England is not. Historical victimhood narratives abound here. And he seems to believe that his own country has some kind of pure bloodline and history in the 21st Century to justify special treatment.

In a recent Doctor Who story, Russell had English scientist Sir Isaac Newton portrayed by a man of colour, although the actual man was not. Well, fine, who cares? But then Russell portrayed the Scots inventor of the early television system, John Logie Baird, as white - and with ginger hair. Um, couldn't HE have been a man of colour too?

This was obviously because the Scots were not disproportionately active in the British Empire (they were, actually) and were always lovely people set upon by the dastardly English (watched Braveheart, dear?), and linked of course to RTD's very own country, Wales.

The trouble is, of course, historical revisionism and the fake and highly racist Celtic Nations nonsense (the Celtic notion dating from the 1700s) which Russell sees as binding him to his 'fraternal' Scots 'brothers' and 'sisters' and people with other preferred pronouns.

There is much bigotry emanating from the tiny countries of Scotland and Wales (combined populations around eight million). But nobody sees it because they are always projecting it onto England, as are the 'Great and the Good' in England, By the way, England is by far the largest and, even proportionally, ethnically diverse UK country, so the bigotry might be described as racism.

It was Rhodri Morgan who crowed: 'We've made the English jealous!' when green-lighting free prescriptions for even millionaires in his own country. On Barnett Formula largesse. So, the largest and most ethnically diverse UK country is discriminated against again - and has to provide the money for that discrimination.

Our whole political system is riddled with this racism - from the Barnett Formula (loathed by its late creator, Lord Joel Barnett), and the West Lothian Question to the sorry state of asymmetric national devolution. Our media, particularly the BBC, hurries to back up the notion of England=Evil.

So, by far the largest and most ethnically diverse UK country gets the worst deal of all from the 'UK' setup, and people like Russell T Davies are attempting to brainwash a whole new generation while laughing like Doctor Who villains. 

All the way to the bank. And with millions of pounds jingling in the Bad Wolf Production Company's pockets from the so-called 'Welsh Government' (covering a population of three million).

Sponsored by whom?

The Racist Element

I had an e-mail today asking if I thought there was a racist element at work regarding the current situation.

I think there is - but it's one of a number of things working against the people of England in the devolution game.

A few thoughts of mine...

1) The "racist" element...

England is a cosmopolitan country with a very long history. Since the Act of Union with Scotland, England has become absorbed into the bulk of the UK in a way that Scotland and Wales haven't.

For some reason, all the baggage of the old British Empire has been laid at England's door - despite the fact that it was actually a venture of England, Scotland, Wales and the whole of Ireland. And the Scots were disproportionately active in the running of the Empire. The trouble is that the other UK nations have heaped the blame on to England. And the poison has spread abroad.

Ridiculous.

The Empire was a BRITISH venture, in very different times, now judged by many to have been a "very bad thing". Fine. But it's gone. We can only learn the lessons from it, and scapegoating England, with the other nations smugly climbing into their pulpits to denounce us for something they were EQUALLY guilty of, is not on.

2) Celts and Anglo Saxons.

We believed that the traditional cultures of England, Scotland and Wales were largely based on traditions handed down from the Celts and Anglo Saxons. But that's been debunked by DNA studies. The Anglo Saxons (who didn't call themselves that) were a minority who married into the existing population to form the early English. Very inclusive, eh? And the Celts? No Celtic fringe, the whole thing seems to date from 1707 when Welsh Nationalist Edward Lhuyd tried to bind together certain languages linguistically and called them 'Celtic'. So, it sticks in my crop a little when some Scots, Welsh, Irish and "Cornish" folk refer to themselves as "Celts" and their cultures as 'Celtic'. There is a similar, but much smaller problem proportionally, with some English people proclaiming themselves "Anglo Saxon". Surely English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh are nationalities - not proclamations of pure bloodlines?!

Surely you don't have to be WHITE to be English, Scottish, Irish or Welsh?

In the case of the English, people proclaiming themselves "Anglo Saxon" are usually smacked on the snout with TV programmes like "100% English". But the Scots, Welsh and Irish are allowed to describe themselves as "Celts" and nobody says a word. Stinking double standards.

I sometimes get the impression that the people of England are treated as an "impure rabble" by this UK Government - and that is why we have health apartheid, the West Lothian Question etc - and as soon as anybody mentions England or Englishness the Government screeches "RACIST!!" Very odd. But UK PLC and the likes of Gordon Brown feathering his own country's nest must come first.

When Mr Brown rambles on about his plans for "Britain" he's usually talking about England by the way. He has very little authority over domestic policy in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. His own constituents up in Scotland are largely unaffected by his actions. And he isn't democratically accountable to the people of the country he does rule. That's right, England.

Brown's in a flap, he's forcing public buildings in England to fly the Union Flag (they fly their own flags in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) purely for his own ends. He's not out to foster a sense of solidarity in England. Far from it. Divide and rule, that's his game. He's ramming the Union Flag down your throat because he's terrified you may realise what's going on in devolution (for some) Britain.

'Scotland is a proud, historic nation,' said Scotsman Tony Blair when beginning the asymmetric national devolution project. But not without skeletons and historical revisionism in its closet. So, what was England? Chopped liver, eh, Tony?

This leads us neatly to regional assemblies or 'English regions'? These are basically a recently devised way of dissolving England into easily-ruled, tinpot regions. The North East, the only area allowed a referendum, voted 78% NO to regionalisation. But it still continues apace. Non-elected, corrupt, money sapping bodies, taking powers from your elected local councils.

3) Who can be English?

English is a nationality and all citizens of England are entitled to be English. England is a country with traditions stretching back centuries and these should not be suppressed as the UK Government is always attempting to do. English culture, like St George's Day, is supposed to be "non-inclusive". Rubbish. That's just the Government trying to brainwash people. The culture of England is as inclusive as its politicians want it to be. Nobody moving here imagines that they are moving to a country with no history or traditions. It is a cynical ploy by the Government to divide and rule when the screeches of "RACIST!" are heard. I live in an ethnically mixed area, and I can honestly say that the only people I have heard debunking English traditions are white, chattering class, Nu Labour supporting idiots.

And remember whilst you are at it that Nu Labour is NOT Old Labour. Back in the 1980s, I was vehemently anti-Thatcher, a confirmed Socialist. But Nu Labour is NOT a Socialist party. The damage done to the NHS, social care and education in England under Nu Labour would have had us fainting with disbelief back in the 1980s!

And the writers of this blog are all care workers and nurses. We speak from experience. Not Okay when Thatcher tried it, but nowadays people take the high moral ground for voting for Nu Labour, who have done a damned sight worst.

Hypocrites.

To return to "Who Can Be English", I believe that the establishment of an English civic national identity is highly important. Scots and Welsh versions are already being worked on by their national executives. But remember Scotland and Wales have far lower levels of immigration, even proportionally, than England. England needs it much more, and yet the UK Government frequently 'others' England and Englishness.

One of the worst developments of recent years is the rise of the odious BNP. This is happening as that party makes hay with the government's and main opposition parties' skewed and unfair policies. It must be stopped. And its flag is the union flag, and sometimes the flags of each so-called 'UK' nation.

So much more I could write...

But remember that it cannot be right that millionaires in Wales don't pay prescription fees, whilst people scrimp and save for them in England. Without the Barnett Formula, deemed unfair to poor people across England by its late creator, Lord Joel Barnett, Wales couldn't do that. And Rhodri Morgan saying, 'We've made the English jealous!!' Yes, with English taxpayers' money.

It cannot be right that public services and the NHS are more highly funded in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, via subsidies from England.

It cannot be right that people die in England for want of medication available on the NHS in Scotland.

It cannot be right that unaccountable MPs, including our PM, force legislation onto England that will not affect their own constituents, via the West Lothian Question.

It is not only the BNP that is racist. UK politics is heavy with it, all levelled against the people of England.

We do not live in a democracy.

If, after this, you believe that England is getting what it deserves, that it is an evil, corrupt country which has dominated the UK for far too long, then take a closer look at history. Once again, you will see that England is all too often scapegoated for the sins of Britain.

For instance, did you know that Ireland was partitioned under PM David Lloyd George, a Welshman, with avid backing from Scots Protestant MPs?

Blame for the past must be shared.

And England must be allowed parity with the other UK nations - or the so-called Union must end.

By the way, I'm very happy to proclaim myself English and I'm of English/Scots parentage, with a hefty dash of German not far back. But I was born in ENGLAND, as was my mother.

Take a little time to think things over. Stop streaming, turn off that podcast. Politicians are getting away with murder whilst the electorate lounges around.

And what are English MPs doing whilst all this is happening, you may ask? Most are riding the gravy train. Because they are never called to account for England.

'Britain! Britain! Britain!' Yep, the union of Empire. Weird, eh?

Because politically England does not exist.
