I did not say the English and French were the same, but neither are the Scottish and Irish the same.  They are just two sides of the same coin, if you willrivals who have more in common than they don't.  London and Paris are the core of Western Europe in the present day, whose Entente have made an enormous impression upon the modern world.  This is based on a rich tradition, originally in prehistoric material culture and surviving through all the changes in timeaugmented by the Volkerwanderung (in which the Teutonic English and French had more in common with eachother than Celtic Welsh and Bretons) 1066's Conquest and the 100 Years' War.  I have no aristocratic fantasy; that is for the Whigs and their foreign collaborators who took the power away from an organic kingdom (where monarch and subject had a symbiosis) for their own benefit.  You think that the idea of Brittany being part of the British Isles is modern?  What is wrong with your mind?
