I'm all for being in Europe mate ... but just where do you think the 'Northmen' who became the Normans originated from? ... Hull?
No point trying to dig yourself out of the hole now, daft lad You already proved yourself wrong 1-0 to Erik, methinks
Did you know that Hull has the least genetically diverse profile in the UK? I think that's what was being claimed on here recently.
In your head perhaps ... just look up "who were the Normans descended from" ... if you need any big words like 'Skandinavia' or 'Vikings' explained ... just pop back
Along with having the least cerebral cognitively? ... who knew? ... and the most cognitive dissonance profile ... two firsts!!
2nd & 3rd generation immigrants hate the English because they aren't us , that's why they hate Nationalism & pride in our country because they know deep down we are superior . Especially those from Ireland for some reason. Archie Gammon sniffer & Fossee all confess to be from potato ****** stock
You can't even remember the original point I was making, can you Try reading the posts again, my little munchkin
We're agreed then ... Normans are descended from Scandinavian raiders, sometimes collectively termed 'Vikings' ... there ... wasn't so hard was it?
Whether a loony leftie, apolitical free thinker or spastic in Halesowen this is a sad read. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2...on-at-10-biography-interview?CMP=share_btn_tw
Just who are the "we" Simon? ... those on these Isles stemming from Angle, Saxon, Germanic or Scandinavian stock? ... coz guess what? Ireland also had a considerable influx of such ... particularly the latter ... Just a shame that some of the Eastern Angles turned incessantly inward to procreate rather than to a more healthy expanded gene pool
I think it's more that he can't read. My original post was addressed to someone else when I said it was ******ed to say that 'Norman' and 'Viking' were interchangeable, particularly in modern parlance (ironic, as the Anglo-Saxons termed the Normans 'French' precisely because to them 'Norman' meant 'Norseman' and they recognised a difference) I then elaborated on that and pointed out that Rollo, founder of Normandy, can justifiably be called a 'Viking' but that the 'Normans' as a group were the product of a founding Norse elite taking French wives and gradually adopting a Gallicised culture in order to better rule their new subjects. Hence why, by 1066, it's idiotic to call the Normans 'Vikings'. It's not really hard to understand if you've got at least an average IQ Our Leicestrian chum has got so caught up in being contrarian that he's forgotten what he's even supposed to be arguing
Trumpy's coming, wearing a white maga hat, instead of red, like all of his henchmen are wearing. There might be a little red dot on it, at some point tho
If we are openly calling for violence against political figures , hopefully Ursula-von-der-leyen gets killed too . Yay I'm involved in the politics discussion too , murder all the Biden henchpersons especially the women & blacks
