    • Katie rather than checking Woopipedia, who are the English and who are the British? My paternal great grandfather was brought over from England by the Mormon’s by one of their missionary plans as a sheep herder for relocation in Bear Lake Utah with the promise of land and financial and community support. Please overlook my ignorance. Thank you.

      • Hiya Billy. No ignorance at all. Most of the British are ignorant to their history and origins. So you have England but we’re not allowed to be called England, we have to be called Britain. Britain consists of Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and England. All of these separate areas are delineated by the waves of migration from the Middle East before Christ. So England was the first migration lead by Dungi and Esarhaddon in 1500BC. The Welsh were lead by Brutus of Troy in 500BC so and so forth. The Hanoverian royalty changed and hid our histories in the 1700s and made up the word Celt. They wanted the people to believe they were Germanic, which simply isn’t true. DNA evidence doesn’t support this either. The Anglo Saxon myth. Much of this is hidden history though. The more you go back and look the more you can see why they sought and still do to cover it up.

        • But what he’s getting at on the vid by talking about British law, it’s a slight of hand trick so as to cover up English law, that is actually our constitution

        • Well said, Katie. The many books by Alan Wilson and Barum Blackett are interesting sources. Their “The Trojan War of 650BC” has just been re-printed. There are also related YouTube channels: RealBritishHistory and BritainsHiddenHistory. They claim that the Welsh, led by Brutus of Troy, came from the ten non-Judaic tribes of Israel. The links between Hebrew and the Welsh language are undeniable.

        • Very interesting. When teaching 5th grade, high school and college classes, I relied heavily on morphology for word meanings (Latin, Greek, Old English,…affices/affixes). History of the English language was a big part of putting it all together. Now, I find that Celts was a ruse. What about Anglo-Saxon? Does this mean Old English has a Middle Eastern origin? Am retired now, but am still fascinated by our language. Where can I go for more information?

          • No, it is the language of the Ancient Britons which has Middle-Eastern origins – the so-called Celtic languages (Welsh, Gaelic, etc). According to Alan Wilson, most of the Ancient Britons were wiped out in a meteoric event in AD562, an event which also devastated parts of South America, leaving stone temples in the jungles largely deserted.

            It was after this event that the Angles and Saxons walked into Britain and settled.

            Wilson and his disciples have also shown how it is relatively easy for Welsh speakers to read Egyptian hieroglyphs.

            Wilson is still alive, although now in his late eighties: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z7fW9N5LJY

            • Actually, even the amount of Angles and Saxons that walked into Britain was not very many as alot of England was a waste land due to the devastation the fires wrought on the land. However, Britain ran the empire with Rome (this fact has been hidden – much of the so called Roman emperors were actually British) and so they were scattered abroad, some evidence suggesting as far abroad as America – some came back to regenerate the land. The DNA evidence certainly does not support the Anglo-Saxon view. It does the Normans invading but they still did not get a stranglehold until around 11th century onwards. See some of the more recent podcasts of Ross from Britain’s Hidden History – especially where he charts the migration of the ‘Vandals’ who were mislabelled and eventually where they ended up in Britain.

            • and just to add a p.s. this was what John Dee was likely up to – recovering that history and lost technology and revivifying that ancient empire.

          • Rheba, the links Foglamp shared are a good start

        • I’m confused, last time I was in England a few years
          ago it was still called England!
          By the way, Great Britain includes England, Wales,
          and Scotland, NOT Northern Ireland.
          The United Kingdom includes Northern Ireland.
          And just to show how strange it can get, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are semi-autonomous
          and they are self-governing, and The Channel Islands
          but they recognize the Queen as the successor to the Duke of Normandy (as in the Norman Conquest of England in 1176).
          And to get even stranger, the French-speaking
          Normans were actually descendants of Vikings!

          • History is such a messy subject! The “Great” in “Great Britain” is sometimes misunderstood as a reference to the alleged greatness of the nation/empire. It is of course a geographical term referring to the largest of The British Isles, comprising – as you say – the mainland of England, Wales and Scotland.
            Perhaps also worth adding to the list of peculiarities – perhaps especially worth adding – is the constitutional position of The Corporation of The City of London?

            • Yes, it’s a confusing but intriguing mess.
              I think foreign interests very much battle to control the City and I don’t think its ownership is as cut and dry as people suspect.
