Its pretty good though there are some amazing mistakes 'global warming after the last ice age caused the seas to rise 150km' was one corker.

Unfortunetaley for those with fixed ideas about the past, it turns out to be massively complicated with artefacts and DNA and mitochondrial DNA all gieving different pictures of post ice age Britain but there is a wealth of detail - and its cheaper now than wot I paid!

I asked someone I know to sign a book she had written and which I had bought on Amazon. She asked me what I had paid, so I'm afraid that I lied. I didn't have the heart to tell her the truth: 1p!

Someone or something must edit and correct your occasional posts to Euan Mearns' blog. Could you not do the same here?

Good to see one of your posts so beautifully typed.

And perhaps now you might attend to that sig separator.

well I was using an urdu keyboard, but it seems you dont follow internet standards for character encoding.

This is Usenet, not the Cambridge entrance exam...

Yes, but I don't a text-to-speech device would do very well

But the disadvantages for some are obvious as you have to have a human mind and a functioning one too.

Anything in it to back up the new claim that sub-saharan Africans were in fact the first Britons and that we white parasites (who arrived much later) should give the country back to them? Together with reparations for slavery, etc?

I don't think it's just *our* culture 'they' want to destroy, but European culture in general. Wherever you look within the EU, millenia old demographics are being churned up with foreign, inferior DNA being shipped in by the million to deplete the quality of the gene pool. So Germany took in a million "asylum seekers" and Sweden is now the rape capital of Europe for the same reason. How many hundreds per day is Italy fishing out of the Med? Where will they all end up? That bitch May should have triggered A.50 the second the opportunity presented itself - not procrastinated and prevaricated to string the whole s***ty process out for as long as possible, during which time we are still obliged to obey Brussels' edicts.

Here's another angle on it:

I dont give a shot about the gene pool. I do care about customs and institutions being torn down that have served us well and being repalced with s*it that doesnt work

Stupid idiot. Diversifying the gene pool is how species survive. They aren't depleting the gene pool they are enhancing it and increasing the ability for humans to survive. You on the other hand want to make survival less likely.

Right wingers really are dumb.
