I've been a huge fan of the idea of Anglish since I first came across it a decade ago.
But online, the Anglish community appears to me to have been overtaken by an, at minimum, unpleasant "anglo-saxon nationalism" (as if such a thing even makes sense). At worst, it is downright scary.
Exploring the counterfactual history of English without French is fascinating.
Pushing one version of such an exploration as what Anglo-Saxons (read: the English) ought to do, implicitly or explicitly denying that the identity of the English (and other inhabitants of the British Isles) after 1000+ years is inextricably tied up with other languages, is deranged.
