Connecting this to Brexit is really distasteful and misleading.
The Roman Empire no longer had the will or material to support Britain and left them to their own devices against they’re will. They had no political or military systems in place to replace the Roman support.
None of this has any correlation with today.
- barberousse 8y agoNot even reasonable to say we're even discussing the same people given the descendants of the people who lived under Roman rule are more indirectly attested to by way of the Welsh, which was the last bastion of Celtic autonomy south of Hadrian's Wall. The modern Englishman is not really related to those Celtic people but is a descendant of the Anglo-Saxon invaders mentioned in the article.
