What Happens If You Challenge The Celtic Myth? And Why Does The UK Government Underfund England?

The answer to the first question is simple. You get screamed at or lock-capped to death: 'DAILY MAIL READER!' 'ANTI-SCOTS!', 'YOU HATE SCOTLAND!', 'YOU'RE A RACIST!', etc, etc, etc.

Be prepared.

It's pathetic. After all, you're not the one claiming you're a descendent of a WHITE ethnicity when you are not, and claiming fake victimhood, and saying you deserve more of the essentials and the luxuries because you are a descendent of said white ethnicity.

And everybody else can get stuffed.

No, no, they're basically saying that.

Projection comes so easy to many Scots Nats and most Celtic myth followers.

I do find it amusing. So much anger... so much hate. And all because somebody believes they are owed far more than you simply because of a myth and historical revisionism.

And downright bigotry.

As the UK quaked and trembled (well, at least the majority of it) with fear at Covid-19, Nicola Sturgeon again demonstrated her lack of humanity and anger-marred personality by using the crisis to fire pot shots at England about her 'superior' approach. With her superior funding, we weren't that surprised.

A couple of years ago, I was talking to a Scottish woman who had lived many years in England and she said of her own country, 'They're all racists!'

I don't agree. But there are enough there in Scotland and Wales to have created a serious problem at the heart of the UK democratic system.

Hence the Barnett Formula (declared unfair to England by its late creator, Lord Joel Barnett) and asymmetric national devolution. Hence the Foundation Hospitals debacle via the West Lothian Question in 2003. And Tuition Fees in England? Take a delve into that.

We can't expect the UK Government to address it. It doesn't actually serve England very well at all, avoids even mentioning the word if it can, and any talk of 'English Nationalism' or a modern inclusive sense of Englishness is severely discouraged. No, no, British or English - there must be no sense of unity within England. And yet 'British' and 'English' are only words. Divide and rule - the sheeples of England will take any rubbish - and just go on about the UK - they'll think devolution hasn't happened elsewhere, that seems to be the government's MO.

And the 'British' nationality came into being only a few hundred years ago, at the time of Empire, to reflect the union of England and Scotland.

The UK Government is really not fit for purpose. And, in underfunding its largest and most ethnically-diverse nation via the Barnett Formula, in deference to the White Celtic myth (debunked by DNA studies and only dating back to the 1700s, via Welsh linguist Edward Lhuyd) and petty nationalisms, is guilty of what I can only interpret as racism.

Modern DNA studies reveal what many have thought for a very long time - the Anglo Saxons (who didn't call themselves that) were a minority, who married into the existing population to form the early English.

So, England was built on inconclusiveness and Old English (the language) was spawned as a contact or creole language, a fusion and development of the tongues spoken by the new arrivals and the majority who were here. There are no 'Celtic' loanwords. In fact, there is no true 'Celtic'. The whole 'Celtic' thing, as relevant to the UK, was created in and romanticised during the 18th and 19th Centuries. 

Old English was a fusion of different ancient languages, spoken by the early inhabitants of England, both the established and the newcomers, which produced a new language.

And yet, cowed by the Scots' grievances chart (missing out the Darien Project, the Scots' disproportionate role in the British Empire and the fact that Ireland was partitioned by a Welsh PM with avid backing of Scots' Protestant MPs - and many other factors) and the Welsh grievances' chart (fake Celts again) the UK Government behaves in a hideously racist manner towards its most ethnically diverse country, and demonizes and tries to dismember it into fake regions to boot.

But remember: Barnett applies on NATIONAL lines - be a millionaire in Edinburgh or Cardiff, get free prescriptions; be a poor shop worker in a England, just above the poverty line, and pay nearly ten quid for each item.

And also remember: UK MPs representing Scots constituencies and unable to vote on their constituents' education and health policies (Scotland has it its own parliament) should not be allowed to vote on England's - with no accountability to the electorate there.

That is profoundly undemocratic.

End thoughts: The UK Parliament is a grandiose anachronism which in these days of devolution should be parred down to a very small body indeed, dealing simply with pan-UK issues, while England gets its own domestic parliament. The recent mishandling and inflating of the coronavirus statistics by Public Health England - a 'UK' body with no overseer for the public in England - proves once more the need for a dedicated body dedicated to our issues, with an English First Minister overseeing it. As I mentioned before, the coronavirus era also amply demonstrated the sickness and complete non-caring attitude towards those not deeming themselves 'Scots' by Nicola Sturgeon, who used it to to throw bitchy comments about her approach being 'superior' to England's back across the border. Hmmm... Yep, even when much of the UK public was absolutely gripped by fear, she was still in there bitching and dividing. And another thing: if the 'UK' is going to endure in any form, then please can we have a Welsh dragon on the pigging 'Union' flag? It's no longer a principality, it's a devolved country in its own right.
