I asked for archaeological evidence , and you ask me to read yet another pointless book of wild theories. No pro veritas , that isnt evidence of anything. Just more dissembling of ancient roman and greek propaganda , with no factual basis. at least give me a link to this magical book you are waffling about though? You might also want to look at this National Geographic article from 2009; and perhaps take a look at the other available information on Lindow II, though much of it predates the breakthroughs of the 2009 analysis by Miranda Aldhouse-Green referenced in the NG article. lindow man has long been debated among Celtic experts , as evidence of human sacrifice , and this is basically based in terms of human sacrifice on the work of dr Anne ross dr don Robbins , and their fabricated book the life and death of a druid prince. questions have been asked, without any evidence presented , how ross and Robbins came to the conclusion based on the bodies injuries that this was a ritual human sacrifice , never mind how the fuck the know the guy was a druid prince. Celtic experts have dismissed their claims as "imaginative conjecture". So what was the basis of their conjecture? roman propaganda , which they admitted they accepted without question. sorry but you are presenting modern historians , like Hutton , or the works of Robbins and ross , imaginative conjecture , as proof of human sacrifice when they are not. not one piece of evidence exists for the druids carrying out human sacrifice , and im content you are offering nothing new but inventions which at their roots are based on ancient world propaganda.

Vinny must also be pissed off the neolithic people who began the building of Stonehenge were of Middle Eastern appearance , and had links with what is modern turkey , before they were replaced by the beaker people from the European Union in 2500 bc . Who cares, they were ancestors and the progenitors of the British people in many ways as it is roughly 200 generations ago. What is clear the EU did not exist at that time. I'm a mongrel and fucking proud of it, why would I fucking care what my British ancestors looked like? My distant ancestors were as black as the ace of spades and I'm proud of that too.
What an absolutely stupid argument that anglophobic SNAT has made.

What an absolutely stupid argument that anglophobic SNAT has made. according to genetic , historical , archaeological , and linguistic studies , you are a fellow European just like the rest of us . who mentioned you cared what they looked like? Try reading what is being written , not what you think is being written. there's a good European.

Europe is a continent of fifty countries including part of Russia. It's hardly a nationality. My nationality is British.
Europe is not a country and since the act of union, neither are England or Scotland sovereign countries, back on ignore you go.

The points as ever are many and varied. Ancient Britain was ancient Britain, the geographical location has not changed even if much else has. The peoples of Britain form a collective unit no matter how arrived at in history with all the alliances, invasions, deals, plots, internecine fighting and long lived feuds. What changes in the modern world is that 'the people' post WW1 and even more so post WW2 were invited to make their views known on how to run the country through the ballot box. In order to do that successfully what was needed was a generally homogeneous society of differences but many similarities. There is a continuous process to somehow belittle the British people as a group to falsify their existence and deride their origins. The whole human world has arisen from some form of immigration and movement of peoples, it matters little. What is existent is what matters and now more so than ever are there deliberate moves to destroy what exists outside of the democratic process. The whole idea of prehistory points scoring is to assist in this process. classical sandy retort , garbled waffle that I see even pro veritas has called you out on . vague ambiguous nonsense. In the neolithic , and beaker periods we are talking about , neither you nor I know the name these islands were called , but they weren't called "britian". Britian was a name invented by the romans thousands of years after the end of the neolithic period. yet more garbled nonsense. These islands have only existed for 8000 years. define collective unit. nonsense. The idea of modern britian as a concept in terms of a unified multi national state is barely three hundred years old politically speaking , and four hundred as a multi national kingdom. barely a small footnote in history in terms of the timescale we are talking about. Modern peoples of the uk are not genetically descended from the neolithic people. we descend mainly from the beaker peoples of Europe and their descendants . At not one point in history has this island been a unified homogenous country . You are not paying attention. Ancient Britain was Ancient Britain no matter what it was called. It was in that location and peopled by, well, people. All the influences that arrived whether by invasion or trade are part of the story and the routine narrative to debase that as some form of mongrelism may well be true but no different to any other country/ethnic group anywhere in the world that are lauded for their now individuality and right to self determination. The point of course being that Britain is not unusual in that respect it is typical and a collective unit is one that operates in general culturally, politically and socially as a unit. I have not said Britain existed as a unit for any period until post WW1 and to a greater extent post WW2. That does not mean everyone agrees and there are not disputes it means that in general terms there is an acceptance that it is largely homogenous and there is an acceptance that governance is by consent even if one disagrees with that governance. Scotsmen could live in England and be culturally identical except for the odd pipe band and Burns night, as could the Welsh and the English could live in Scotland with only occasional upset from the odd tartan fanatic and be unrecognisable as English, sometimes even when speaking. That homogeneity is now being eroded with some marked success and one can only suppose, given our recent and historic voting options, that despite it NOT being the will of the electorate it was done anyway and the denigration of British history is a must in terms of what seems to be the plan.

If you think this is even remotely true you have a truly shocking lack of understanding of the basic facts of Pre-Modern British History. Ancient Britain arguably started with the ending of the Devensian Glaciation "Ice Age" that ended approximately 125,000 years ago; though Human habitation of Britain goes much further back to about 800,000 years. There was also the Last Glacial Maximum, that started receding 27,000 years ago and and had completely disappeared by 11,300 years ago. Though it might be argued that in accordance with academic convention this should be called Pre-Historic Britain. The convention being that Pre-Historic refers to that period before writing had developed, and Ancient refers to the period after writing was developed; but this causes an anomaly with Britain, because the Druids forbade writing British the Pre-Historic period coincides with Continental Ancient period. To get around this we can class Pre-History as the "Lithic periods" (Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic) and the Ancient period as starting with the Bronze Age and on into the Iron Age. However, there's also a discrepancy here with the Bronze Age and Iron Age emerging earlier the closer you get to the Eastern Mediterranean and Levant areas, and later as head North and West through Europe. The Bronze age in Britain was approximately 2500 BC to 700 BC, with the Iron Age following on until the Roman Invasion of AD43 - which, with the Romans bringing writing with them, might realistically be the first time that Britain could be said to have been in the Ancient History period. I also take issue with your "the geographical location has not changed". If you mean the shape of the British landmass you are incorrect; Britain was physically connected to "mainland Europe" as recently as 8,200 years ago; when Mesolithic Hunter Gatherers lived on and traversed the area known as Doggerland, there is some evidence of long distance trade from the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods with Baltic Amber being traded for Greenstone Axeheads from Polstrong Cornwall. So I have to ask: what do you mean by "Ancient Britain"? What time period are we looking at here? Britain did not form a "collective unit" until the reign of King Athelstan (924-939); the United Kingdom did not form a single socio-political entity until the Acts Of Union in 1707. All The Best I do not disagree the point is we have arrived where we are in the post WW2 world with a generally homogenous population that grew from all sorts of things as you intimate above. As I said Ancient Britain WAS Ancient Britain from Boxgrove man, and earlier, to the pre Roman world. How we arrived at a broadly homogenous society, and where they came from is interesting but largely irrelevant in terms of what we were in the latter part of teh 20th century. It is at that point that the British people have been traduced, mainly by their own and those who were supposed to have their best interests at heart. That is where the tragedy lies. It can't have happened prior to the Acts Of Union (1707), and within decades of that there were significant influxes of immigrants. The homogenous society you claim actually never existed. I lived in Scotland for 4 years, I know dozens of Scots who oppose the SNP but for whom the concept of "Britain" is alien, they do not for one second consider themselves British, they consider themselves Scottish. I have two friends from university who live in Northern Ireland who feel exactly the same; and since graduating I have met 2 Welsh guys who feel the same. Heck, I even know two Cornish guys who see themselves as Cornish way before they see themselves as British. I am the same, I am NOT British, I AM English... ...end of. All The Best

Hutton is a world renowned expert on Pre-Christian Religions in Britain. His books are considered essential reading on the subject, and his theories are grounded in the latest research. Hutton has two books that are pertinent to this subject: The Pagan Religions of the Ancient British Isles: Their Nature and Legacy (1991) Blood and Mistletoe: The History of the Druids in Britain (2011) You might also want to look at this National Geographic article from 2009; and perhaps take a look at the other available information on Lindow II, though much of it predates the breakthroughs of the 2009 analysis by Miranda Aldhouse-Green referenced in the NG article. Honestly, the notion that the Druids carried out human sacrifice is not even contentious these days; in fact it is widely acknowledged that Iron Age Celts all across Europe practiced human sacrifice, especially during times of war and hardship. I agree that were the only "evidence" that of the Greek and Roman writers there would be huge risks of bias within the evidence, but there is also ample archaeological evidence as well. May I ask; why the insistence that the Druids did not practice human sacrifice? All The Best Druidism isnt a pre christian "British religion". It is a pre christian European religion , not specific to these islands. I obviously havent read the book , but have looked up various reviews , and clearly Hutton isnt interested , or shall I say focused , on the original druids and the contradictory evidence and propaganda written by the likes of Tacitus and Caesar , but is more interested in the druids as a modern historical phenomenon. basically the renewed interest of ancient druids in the early modern period.
I havent read in any review anything about new archaeological evidence that proves beyond the propaganda of ancient writers that the classical Celtic druids performed human sacrifice. it appears a re writing in part of the wildly discredited theories of people like Nora Chadwick and others , and points out the famous druidic sacrifice in the wicker man drawing as nothing more than a 17th century invention like much else about the druids , essentially modern concepts that have no real origin in the ancient classical world. hutton is an English historian , in his books he writes about the English having no real interest in Celtic druidism until the modern period as the English obviously aren't Celts , and during the 15th and 16th century revival interest of druidism , it mainly happened among the countries that were Englands enemies like France and scotland , which counted against druidism. He has no expertise on the ancient Celts , being a student of early modern Post 16th century britian. so why should his unsubstantiated claims about alleged human sacrifices be taken anymore seriously than those refuting druids human sacfrifices who are either archaeologists , or experts in the ancient Celtic world? You havent provided any evidence. merely asked me to read a book dealing on primarily the modern concept of revived druidism. Then I suggest you read the book; Hutton rejects that "Modern Druidism" has any relationship to Ancient Druidism at all; in fact in " The Pagan Religions of the Ancient British Isles: Their Nature and Legacy" he charts a clear ideological and spiritual path to Reconstructionist Druidism from early Wicca, which itself shares some of its roots with the precursors to the Esoteric Satanism of Aleister Crowley. If accurate interpretation of archaeological remains concludes that Human Sacrifice was likely it does so 100% independently of any references to such in Greek or Roman writers. There is no Celtic Druidism, there IS Druidism, that was effectively the same ALL over North-Western Europe (as you alluded to) He doesn't need expertise on Ancient Celts, he needs expertise on Archaeology and Pre-Christian faiths. As I said before, I can't magic physical evidence, or the physical reports before you; you have to look at and how they are referenced elsewhere. That you refuse to even consider doing that tells me you have no interest in truth or facts and are only interested in an already entrenched (most likely false) view of things. All The Best

Well, there's your problem. Maybe look at it from an Archaeological Experts stance - they interpret physical remains with no pre-established bias like "Celtic". I never mentioned Ross or Robins; if the best you have to counter my argument is to knock-down your own strawmen then I have already won this debate. Let me ask, are you a practising Reconstructionist Druid, and so have a biased interest in not looking for the truth? Because that is very much how it feels. All The Best

I was born in England, but some of my ancestors were from Scotland. I am British, not entirely English and to pretend otherwise would be an insult to my British relatives from Scotland.
As for the Druids, I don't know enough about them. They're dead anyway. I just like what they built.

Identity for many is important and allowed to be important for most people except white people who are only allowed white as an identity and then that is denigrated as of no importance and a pure social construct. However that social construct is allowed to exist when it is used to batter them into submission. The importance of realigning British history so that 'others' (however you describe them) play an important and often central role is a very important part of that process.

Thousands of others seem to indicate less than this possibly even 0.1% of the existing population over many years. You used significant Romani again but did not quantify and it seemed to be over 100 years so if one is generous 1.0% over 100 years. In the 18th and 19 th centuries we have 50,000 Germans or about 0.5% of the existing population over a few decades and the Irish about 1.0% over many many decades, Jewish influx about 0.3% over several decades. The American war of independence and piecemeal immigration you seem to have no numbers just a 'belief' that it must be so. I can help small numbers mainly in ports and other groups Italians, Eastern Europeans to work in the mines but generally approx 1% of existing population over many decades as an ongoing thing. In recent years and probably over no more than three decades we have had over 10 million with an existing population of approx 55 million which is getting on for 20%. So you can see where the battering is occurring and it is the existing population that is being battered. You provided facts I just put them into context and gave a little perspective. And you are English as an identity. Do you believe that your identity is exactly the same as David Lammy who calls himself English?

I genuinely do not see anyone being battered; except perhaps this Forum, by poorly hidden racist rhetoric. All The Best No it was 1% of the population existing at that time, which is the only measure that makes sense when seeking an effect. You can bet what you like but most will have assimilated in some way as I can testify with my wife's family name being of Huegenot extraction on her mother's side. Which is the point as regards numbers as small percentages of an existing population will normally have to seek partners from outside their own group. I referred at all times to the level of the arrivals as a percentage of the population existing at that time. With the Huegenots I assumed approx 5 million with the Jews and Irish I assumed approx 30 million. So your identity is a flexible English and that separates you out from all other English, In effect your identity is personal English which means there is no joint identity for anyone, however that is not what many claim. If you have a birthday party with one hundred guests then one or two who do not wish to celebrate your birthday and prefer to act indifferently is of no consequence, if that number is 20 of the guests the dynamics will be different and you may feel put upon. What is racist rhetoric and if it is bad why?

As for the Druids, I don't know enough about them. They're dead anyway. I just like what they built. They didn't build shit. The Druids weren't Neolithic. They came along a couple of thousand years after Stonehenge was built. They may have appropriated it for their own use but other than the fact the Romans massacred them on Anglesey around the time of Boudicca's revolt we don't really know anything about the Druids. The Druids were the priest class of the Celts. That's about it, everything else is guesswork.
