Every thousand years, it seems, Britain is taken over. First it was the Roman Empire, then at the Battle of Hastings the Normans took control. It was a real good run since 1066, until the early 20th century when globalist tendencies and some bad decisions messed things up.

Brexit was a last-gasp chance to stay free of a German takeover, with the EU as its vehicle. Maybe some outlying areas such as Wales can keep their independent streak (they did the last two takeovers). But England? If they don't do Brexit now, it'll be a Muslim country or part of a German/European Empire.

Britain has been taken over much more often.

The Stonehenge builders were not Celts. The Celts who were called Britons and are ancestors of today’s Welsh came around 500 BC

The Roman’s invaded and settled around 44 AD

The Saxons, Jutes and Angles came in the fifth century ad.
At the same time the Scotti, a tribe from Ireland invaded what is now Scotland and set up shop.

Then in the 8th, 9th centuries you had the Danes coming and Danelaw, a part of the Danish Emoire under Canute.

The in 1066 you have the Frenchish speaking Norman’s coming a d that heralded 250 years of domination by French speakers from the Norman dynasty to the Angevin.

That great English king, Richard the Lionheart was born in Francem visited Englamd for only three months of his life and spoke no Englisch.

After that, the Norman batons invited the Fren h prince to come rule them instead of John but that failed.

Then in 1688 basically the Dutch invaded and the Dutch King William of Orange became the king of England.

Before that you had of course the Tudora who were Welsh, the Stuart’s who were Scottish.

And then in the 170ps you had the German takeover with the house of Hanover coming to power. George I spoke no English at all.

Wo this myth of 1000 years is, well a myth
