| "Perhaps it was during that unhappy period between 410 and 1066 that our fear of new arrivals became hardwired into our collective psyche." Perhaps it was during that unhappy period between AD43 and AD410 when the Roman legions subdued Britannia that our dislike of being ruled from the continent of Europe became hard-wired into the British psyche ? I note that your quote completely ignores the pre-AD43 population of these islands (or even that of AD410) and their descendants. |
