'Britishness' is not about origin, as Anthony Sampson discovers in
Robert Winder's Bloody Foreigners
Saturday June 12, 2004

Bloody Foreigners: The Story of Immigration to Britain
by Robert Winder
544pp, Little, Brown, £20
How far is the recent immigration to Britain a new phenomenon, which
is transforming the country's character? Or is it only the last
chapter of the long story of our ability to absorb foreigners, and
draw new strength from their energy and enterprise?
It is a highly topical question, and in this timely book Robert Winder
provides a wealth of background information to try to reassure
contemporary alarmists. He briskly traces the history of immigration,
from the Normans to today's asylum seekers, showing how each wave of
foreigners provoked a new scare before they became accepted as a
permanent part of the British scene.

Ah! the Normans!
How many white supremicists know?
For 300 years after 1066. England (not the Scots or the Welsh or Irish)
No the English were Enslaved!
And it was so easy to identify a Slave.
The Slaves in England Spoke English(Anglo Saxon)
The Free Men, Those Norman/Frenchies Spoke French.
Yes as I would point out to British and USA NAZI's:

Tories are beginning to make One Nation speeches again. Tristram Hunt
looks at the cultural history of Disraeli's idea and discovers it's
all about race, not class
Saturday April 13, 2002
The Guardian
Kenneth Clarke announced last week that he was returning to frontline
politics to support Iain Duncan Smith as Conservative party leader.
What prompted this surge of loyalty was Duncan Smith's belated embrace
of the Tory "One Nation" tradition in his speech to the Harrogate
spring conference. For Clarke, this signalled a welcome determination
to show the public that "we have a genuine concern for the vulnerable
and less well-off people". Like many of his fellow Tories, Clarke
believes One Nation conservatism is about alleviating class
inequality. Yet it was a question of race rather than class which
first inspired the philosophy.

England: the land the Angles and the Saxons made for us. England is
ours because she is tolerant and decent. Sheltered in her deep peace,
she is averse to ideological hatred. That consensus view is both
intellectual and popular. And the television histories do not disturb
this self-congratulatory picture. Schama and Starkey, like their
predecessors Macaulay, Gilbert and Sullivan, are celebrators of a
happy land on its smooth and ever-vertical, ethical ascent.
