As Rob put it post # it was a leap in the dark, now all the politicians work in the dark. They have to when you look at some of the things they come up with.

But as to the EU. It was Charles DeGaule after WW2 that first considered the concept of a common market. A market where nations in Europe would trade with each other in an effort to stimulate growth. However whilst he was in favour of a common market place he made it crytal clear he was not in favour of a common currency.

I think it was old mother shipton or some other sage of old who said the greatest battle will be between the bear and the dragon could this be Russia and wales regards cappy

[John Gill]

That conflict, Cappy, between bear & dragon might also refer to certain spouses and mothers-in-law.

the population of England Ireland scotland and wales and many european countries are still of 99 % celtic origins . but I think that Rome was one of the first to integrate ethnic peoples into thier soceity as citizens , until coruption and greed took over and they weakened the power base . to such a degree that they were unable too stop the outside invasions . of thier once powerfull teritories . does this sound famliliar .

John please read up , Enoch became the member for Ulster when the conservatives kicked him out and he lost his midlands seat. Where he was mp for does not change the fact that he was Welsh. Unlike yourself I actually met and had tea with the bloke when I was a kid and he was preaching in Welsh at our local chapel

Neville you are incorrect as recent genetic testing has shown the white popuation of England have suprisingly little dna similaritries with the celts of Scotland, Ireland and Wales. There closest genetic relatives are the German and dutch. Not surprising in that the Angles , Saxons and Jutes were Germanic tribes that had spread West from Asia. Then their genetic make up has French , Scandinavian Dna to some degree .
The English should be proud of their multicultural heritage not ashamed of it as some seem to be, after all the Romans were. What matters is that we all learn to live together, respect each other and realise there is no such thing as a master race, after all we all stem in the far distant past from Africa and were all as black as the ace of spades

The Celts of Scotland, Ireland and Wales.

Though Celtic cousins the Scot and Irish are more of the gaelic Celt and Cymru more further associated with Cornwall and Brittany. All Celtic languages extant today belong to the Insular Celtic languages, derived from the Celtic languages spoken in Iron Age Britain.They were separated into a Goidelic and a Brythonic branch from an early period. Anglo - Saxony has no real home history of its own much prior to 1066.

An attempt to fit in sees the continuous attempts to involve our Arhur (The once and Future King) of the Anwyls, recorded by the Venerable Bede centuries before Anglaise.

RE: The Venerable Mr. Powell.

Powell was born in Stechford, Birmingham, now known as England, part of Little Britain. He lived there for the first six years of his life before moving to King's Norton in 1918, where he lived until 1930. He was the only child of Albert Enoch Powell (1872–1956), a primary school headmaster, and his wife, Ellen Mary (1886–1953). Ellen was the daughter of Henry Breese, a Liverpool policeman and his wife Eliza, who had given up her own teaching career after marrying. The Powells were of Welsh descent, having moved to the developing Black Country during the early 19th century. His great-grandfather was a coal miner, and his grandfather had been employed in the iron trade.

Alternative names for English;

Sassenach - used to describe the English, by their immediate Gaelic-speaking neighbours: the Scots, and the Irish. The term is derived from the original name of the Anglo-Saxon settlers in what is now Lowland Scotland - i.e. the Saxons.

The Cornish word for an Englishman is "Sows", and the Cornish word for the English language is "Sowsnek".

les goddams - During the Hundred Years' War, the French took to calling the English les goddams because of their frequent use of expletives.

Saeson (often abbreviated to 'Sais') - used by Welsh-speakers to refer to English people (and, less frequently, English-speakers). As with other Celtic tongues, this term is a reference to the Saxons and is generally regarded as offensive.

After 1707, a British national identity began to develop though initially resisted—particularly by the English—the peoples of Great Britain had by the 1750s begun to assume a "layered identity", to think of themselves as simultaneously British and also Scottish, English, or Welsh.
