That is their point. They grew past it. The UK can’t blame Brexit on the Romans.

  > The UK can’t blame Brexit on the Romans. You're reaching thousands of years ago and missing the much more significant event of the Norman conquest. And I would say that the Normans actually did influence Brexit to the extent that there's a confusion about continental vs. English identity that's only expanded over time. 1,000 years is no time at all, in the age of writing.

      > Influenced, yes. Can be blamed for, no, much less their descendants today (who aren’t British). I agree! This is different than saying the British are responsible for many current day conflicts (e.g., India/Pakistan, Israel/Palestine) which is much less controversial.
