The start and end to every story is the same. But what comes in between you have yourself to blame.

I guess you don't actually live in the UK: Much that goes on there escapes your notice — unless it's prominently featured on the telly! (Would you like me to redact one 'l'? You gave me a hard time about "torry"… :) )

What guy? Hm. Probably your next conservative PM. But never mind: Scots are not important for matters of state.

Wrong as usual dear ex-colonist. Way back in the days of Empire Scots were great administrators of it and in more modern times a whole selection of Scots have been outstanding in the GB parliament. but there again being a Yankee you lot don't know much about the outside world. Every time Yankeeland is involved in some regular military thing or confrontation hen your citizenry are asked about where it is re street tv interviews they are mostly blank. Unfortunately for some God forsaken reason we constantly get groaned with internal USA news which is ridiculous. However as you are a regular i wil let you know we are 3,000 miles away across what is called the Atlantic Ocean. Happy to be of help.

Howie, you misunderstand me (or as GW would have said, "You misunderestimate"… :) )
Being bureaucrats and cannon fodder does not make you statesmen.

Brexit puts a final end point at this thread.

Being a European and Portuguese Belfager it is not just the Anglo Saxons but the Scots, Welsh and Ulster people. I will try nd make allowances for your double background.

Not much anymore, no. Mind you, it would be shocking if the first group of Europeans, apart from the Neandertals, were not black. The Neandertals had been here much longer, more than 100,000 years in case of Britain, and they were fair-skinned, and it seems mostly red-headed (based on too small sample to really tell). This man is relatively recent, and it seems they haven't lightened up yet. 

It was far more surprising to find the combination of dark skin and blue eyes, which a fair share of this population seem to have had. Other populations may have had more conventional looks, Ancient DNA sheds light on the mysterious origins of the first Scandinavians. During many of these periods Britain would have been a part of the mainland.



When farming spread to Europe from the Middle East, it seems to have spread with the farmers, these indigenous hunter-gatherers don't seem to have taken up farming to any major extent.

That guy is a skeleton. Everything else is pure imagination based in "DNA tests suggest".
DNA tests suggest whatever we want.

The funny part is that, even black, he has blue eyes... I suppose that samples from the stomach "suggest"  that he used to drink tea at five o'clock.

The crime situation and the dozens of killing since the start of the year is horrific. Years ago there were moans from non-whites about stop and search. In one Burgh well over a decade ago there were moans  on that subject and the police commander who got slagged off had tried to nicely point out the majority of the population were black and brown hence those young got stopped more often. Even now London is no longer what could be mused as a traditional English city and the racial balance has tilted the other way. Not so long ago - this year in fact that ridiculous man who is the Mayor of the city said it was a safe place. Yeah right.
