Serves them right - the Tories are to the left of our Dems on everything other than immigration.
Despite both populations of England and Czechia were overran by several later invaders/settlers, there is still quite a lot of common genes between English and Czechs, traced to the ancient Boii.
I’d be afraid to check that site; I know too much already.
My people were run out of Europe in the mid-nineteen century. Something about accidentally backing a Ziegenkarren over the royal Alpenmurmeltier.
Ancient Mass Migration Transformed Britons` Teeth
there fixed it
Sounds like a Brit porn name. But better than Spotted Dick.
Hey, who hasn’t backed a Ziegenkarren over a royal Alpenmurmeltier?
LOL
They were closely related peoples.
The Boii were pushed partly to the west, to Gaul and merged with the Gaullosh tribes, but the bulk went east and were destroyed by the Dacians. There is not even a hint that they went to the british isles.
In fact the british isles were Celtic well before the Boii left Pannonia in the 190s AD.
Strangely enough, medieval Brits like Richard III had perfect teeth, with no cavities.
The british bad teeth dates from the industrial era when their diets wee6bad, they had a lot of sugar from the Caribbean and poor hygiene
I tried to find information about queen Boudica who fought the Romans in England. Several good links, but I found this link about 7 famous women warriors. So, find your own Boudica links. ;-)

She fought them in Britain (no England at the time). :^) Thanks to her own pathological self-centeredness, she goaded and nagged her entire tribe into annihilation. Brilliant leadership.
I suspect that the bodies of the dead Iceni (survivors were sent off to slavery throughout the Roman Empire) and other tribal participants were piled up and burned, and the charred bone fragments and potentially 100s of 1000s of teeth are under a field somewhere along the old Watling Street. If so, DNA studies could turn up a lot of info, a uniquely detailed profile of early Roman Britain.
Regardless, Merry Christmas!
FR is probably planet Earth's hottest single source for all your Boudicca needs:
Yeah, I’ve seen pictures of british nobility teeth from the 1400 to the 1500’s that illustrate your point.
In the 1400’s the teeth were perfect.
In the 1500’s the teeth were rotted to the root.
The difference? The introduction of sugar. Sugar was popular with the nobility.
What’s happened over 400 years has been that sugar has become available to everyone else. With the same effect—but now its worse because so much sugar is available.
Scientists have recently found that huge amount of sugar in the diet is responsible for most of the big western diseases.
I only let my sons eat candy or much in the way of sweets 4 times a year—birthday, Halloween, Christmas, and Easter. I also taught them to rinse their mouth with water right after eating anything. THey did NOT toothbrush all that much. One less thing for Mom to nag about. No cavities until they left home and not much then. When young, I would fix a snack plate with nuts, apple slices, grape tomatoes, cheese chunks, grapes, carrot and celery sticks, deviled eggs, meat chunks, etc. and leave it in the refrigerator. I fixed breakfast and dinner, but not lunch too often. They had normal weight. It makes me so sad these days to see children look so unhealthy, overweight or skinny.
