Suzanne, Not to worry! It's ancient history lol The point is the people that they see as English (ie people who live in England) aren't the true English lol They were all pushed into Wales by the Normans or maybe it was the Romans or maybe both (I'm probably wrong -surely there is an expert on here lol) |

I don't think she was so much a racist, as horrified that she would now have to leave the Anglo Saxon society, which she herself set up! LOL! OC |

Well you would think before she threatened them with legal action that she could back up her claim with some genealogical evidence. |

I was under the impression that Welsh people are more English (in the true sense of the meaning) than most English people. Weren't they pushed into Wales by the Normans (or some other invaders) lol |

There was some woman who was the leader of the 'English-Ethnic Heritage' She had a DNA Test, and it said she was quite a high % Middle Eastern. A few days later she threatened the show with legal action, and said that the test was too inaccurate. I dont think she liked the fact that she wasn't 100% English. |
