I find it absolutely hypocritical that you percieve the French contribution to England as one of oppression and nothing else whilst including the Irish whom would object to England in respect to the same percieved issue  You have insulted the Irish by not affording them the same position you afford yourself as regards the French  You wholly capitalise on your own fantasies and call anybody elses neutrality to be POVpushing  You do not believe in seeing that others have equality with your standing but sure get upset when it is not percieved to have been given you by others  Oh how democratic and enlightened such attitudes are  Youd make a fine diplomat  Governmental practices of power delegation vs restriction means nothing in respect to ethnic relations they exist irrelevantly  Therefore your arguments are jingoistic and POV supremacism     I am simply supporting the consensus which is to only include nations of the British Isles As a matter of fact I think the Germans are a lot closer to us than the French but someone else has been trying to argue the opposite and at the same time push all sorts of medievalist aristocratic fantasies TharkunColl   Brittany is not a nation of the British Isles and hasnt been  You are a Teutonicist who revels in the Hanoverian Age of Aristocracy ref httpwwwamazoncomgpproductvglancen  Englands identity began with tribes from southern Scandinavia not Northwestern Germany AKA HanoverBrunswickLuneburgWestphalia  You rewrite history to serve your Whig historyrevisionist political schemes  I have no aristocratic fantasies unlike yourself  You want the Celtic nations to assimilate into the English spectrum and coopt their identity the way the French coopt Roman Gaul as an identity  Oh the hypocrisy continues  You hate the Mediaeval example but are ardent defender of the New World Order in saying one thing and doing another  You rewrite history to commit hypocrisy condemning the actions of one party towards your percieved polity and then adopting such policies towards other ethnic peoples  Mediaeval my arse you are guilty of those accusations you level towards the French  You have no right to talk  All of these contrivances only serve me satisfaction with the French legacy because you have rediscovered the wheel and thought it magnificent  Vive la France et dAngleterre  Goddamn Allemagne et faux Royaume de Hanovre  Consensus my arse  Your barbarian heroes had consent of the common Irish people  Propaganda at its finest
