Apr 11, 2012 - This is the problem with you Germaniacs (English especially) and your immigrant mentality, you celebrate that you purportedly wiped out a native population.

Sapphonouveau Says:

Apr 11, 2012 - Yeah, what did actually happen to the Jutes?

JohanOrsta Says:

Apr 20, 2012 - lol that's why Russians call you Anglo-Sucks >_<

Royak Says:

Apr 21, 2012 - Their name just didn't catch on.... but, that mixed in with all the other Germanic peoples and Britons to become the modern English people

Royak Says:

Apr 21, 2012 - You're absolutely wrong. Genetic mapping shows clearly that the 'Celtic' Britons' genetic markers still are found in around over 60% of the modern inhabitants of England. The other smaller part is genetic markers associated with the Anglo-Saxons. You show really get up to date with your scholarship; that old troupe about the Britons all being wiped out is not accepted by ANY reputable scholars of English history. You're regurgitating a stupid old legend and calling it history.

Apr 22, 2012 - @Royak, I don't know what fairytale world you're living on, but I know that the English are Germanic and are decended from the Anglo Saxons, not the brittons. I think you ought to wake up and think carefully about what you are saying, use the evidence discovered from the experts, rather than living in a dream. You may not like it, but the English are Anglo Saxon and there's nothing you can do to change it.

Apr 22, 2012 - Shame really. It'd be quite fun to be called Jutish.

BrutusTheNinth Says:

Apr 22, 2012 - Let morons such as Saxe-Coburg t1t296 embrace their Germanicness, the fall will only be all the more enjoyable to witness when their national sovereignty/freedoms/livelihoods are in elitist mass murdering grubby Germanic hands.

JohanOrsta Says:

Apr 22, 2012 - What are you talking about? :D What 60%? 60% of white ppl left in England which is about 30% of whole population? I was in London last summer, i thought i came to morocco town or something >_< But when I came to Luton I realized that either it's another Egypt town or your genetic map works wrong :D I dont give a shit rlly, im not a racist, but all white guys are bout 25-30% of England popiulation.

BrutusTheNinth Says:

Apr 22, 2012 - Scandinavia not too white either - mainly because of self-righteous square head kraut MP's - you weren't so nice when you were raping and pillaging native Britons in your horn hats.

BrutusTheNinth Says:

Apr 22, 2012 - Europe was a peaceful continent until you krauts showed up, and now we have people like you, the liberal nutcase self-righteous square head dictator Bashar Assad lookalikes suffocating the native populace and scarring the landscape.

Apr 26, 2012 - What ever people think of Anglo-saxon's, this was a time when England was free from zionism.

frankph5 Says:

May 12, 2012 - French provides the base for more than 50% of the modern English vocabulary.

TheT33g Says:

May 13, 2012 - where did you make that up? 87.5% of englands population is white and thats the actually percentage not just made up on the spot haha

Falconpunch82 Says:

May 13, 2012 - I've never heard any american say roundabout, traffic circle, or billfold in my entire life.

aqatato Says:

May 15, 2012 - you're

varangian1081 Says:

May 17, 2012 - Have you read any current historical or archaeological or scientific books, journals or texts recently? Your 'facts' about the origins of the English are hopelessly outdated and incorrect. It's a scientifically proven FACT that approx 95% of all British people (not including 20th century immigrants) have the same genetic origin. It makes me want to puke when I read antiquated and inaccurate rubbish like your statement. You don't work for the BBC do you?

t1t296 Says:

May 17, 2012 - Ah fuck, another hopeless straggler in the endless race of education. DO NOT attempt to tell me that I am wrong when I know that I am right.

varangian1081 Says:

May 17, 2012 - Yawn.....

BrutusTheNinth Says:

May 17, 2012 - Leave them to it.

dpjaexp Says:

May 20, 2012 - If you visit the northeastern US, you'll hear roundabout, traffic circle and billfold, depending on with whom you're speaking and how old they are. Both 'traffic circle' and 'billfold' are still fairly common here. 'Roundabout' is in use in some places. In Massachusetts and New England broadly speaking, you'll hear 'rubbish', 'trousers', and 'arse'. People also put 'picalilli' on their hot dogs, as they do in Britain. Interestingly, in New England, 'roundabouts' are known as 'rotaries'....
