The English are not unique really, Germany and other protestant countries took in a lot of Huguenots and there is no racial purity in any European country, Austria was really Celtic until the Germans from the north took it over, as was South-west Germany. The numbers of immigrants here were tiny between 1066 and 1948 as Migration Watch has pointed out. And the Normans were few but brutal. There is no way we can retain our national identity, neither can most Western European countries and the US by taking in millions of non-Europeans. Michael Portillo was in the Hudson River Valley talking about an artist who painted it in the 19th century. He was talking to two girls, one of whom said that that artist was a rallying point in America as they struggle with what is America's identity now. Exactly, will America still be America when in 2040 it has people of colour as the majority? Cue Donald Trump!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
