The English are Germans The Welsh are real Britons

[RoyalKnightVII]

@thelleht Well ignorance is on the rise in the modern world ad fewer and fewer people know their own history.

So it is news to some I suppose.

[kybelian]

@thelleht History is not a popular topic for the masses as voting in some countries consistently prove.  So certain subjects need constant retelling.

[R0undAboutMidnight]

The BNP will love this, lol.

[kayman92]

@R0undAboutMidnight I'd love to deport Griffin and his party to Germany.

[CJCymru]

@poeticwelshman no you're not lol, we all want that to happen

[SamHawkens]

Could someone please tell me how the song is called you can hear in this video.

[davies92k8]

@SamHawkens The song is called "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau" , it is the Welsh National Anthem.

[sailor1955]

@SamHawkens

it's our national anthem

[MrZygoticmynci]

@SamHawkens It's Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau, the Welsh National Anthem.

[phillex90xswedish]

yes it is true

[Klonsebia]

hey i am a russian guy and i wanna say that i dont understand why welsh people dont speak welsh?the language is magical,when i hear welsh songs it sounds like elven song or smthng.i personaly want to learn welsh.Cymru am byth!)

[redplague]

@Klonsebia Because the English banned it for a while so it became a minority language.

[GRAT28]

@Klonsebia the eglish banned the language anyone caught speaking it was sent to jail.all welsh in north wales and most south welsh people speak it again just we use english aswell.

[robnlew]

Hey, SultanChase, this IS common knowledge (in Wales) - it's the English who have conveniently forgotten it.

[TinyArts]

Nothing new here. Here in scandinavia they teach us this in school from an early age. Then they also teach us that ex superpowers can be abit blinded by their own pride :D

Especially France and Britain :D

[TelumehtarOriOn]

"Croeso i Loegr" is it correct that "loegr" means something like "lost country" or "lost land"?? so england is the country that the welsh lost to the english?!

greets from germany

p.s.: please don't ship the english back to us!! ;-)

[fuckinghell93]

Greetings from Ireland lads going to Wales in the summer hopefully

[SultanChase]

I'm amazed that this wasn't already known more commonly. The British know nothing about their own history.

[OW41N]

@SultanChase only the english forgot it m8

[ivanahumpalot420]

If anyone has read anything about that Steven Openheimmer clowns interpretation of English ancestry he is a dumbass. Anyone who thinks the English are purely brythonic is a fucking idiot. Its like calling all Italians Roman or something. English people in fact ARE germanic and anyone who try to refute that is pointlessely ignorant.

[suewelsh1]

o yes i always knew it

[ETSubmariner]

Haha, that's right! "If you want to meet a true Brit, come to Wales." Enough said.

[facefavour]

And that's why liverpudlians or scousers as some people call them feel the way they do, they are celts either welsh, irish, or scottish. Scousers say their not english and their right! their celts.

[segano1]

Greetings to all from Scotland

[flameboy44]

Well OF COURSE THEY ARE! And they chased our people and forced them to settle in Brittany...what we're going to do is ship them all back to germany, and that's that!

[ELONut]

LOL i have known this for many years! I am glad our Welsh Cousins found this amusing! Cymru am Byth! from a fellow celt of Alba!

[iauaan]

@ELONut Me to haha no one in england even belives it in england they forget their roots , Alba Gu Brath from a Cymry :)

[Edeltraut3]

Talking about illegal immigrants, ship all the english limeys back to Germany where they belong.

[flameboy44]

Yeaaaaaarh man, let us small Brittons come back to our Homeland, see our longlost brothers the Welsh!

[Fersomling]

The fact that few everyday words in English are of Celtic origin tends to support the slaughter/expulsion idea.

The Danes, another German group, contributed quite a bit of their genes to the English as well.

[childofreletivity]

all celtic nation should unite

[TheScottishRocker]

Greetings from your brothers up North!

Love this vid and all these comments.

[Thebikergolfboy]

CYMRU AM BYTH

[TESFOREVER]

I love Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Brittany, Cornwall, and the Isle of Man. They are the six Celtic nations and they should all come together and kick the english\german scum out. They have treated our Celtic ancestors horribly over the years and it is time they get whats coming to them.

Celts Forever!!!

[GAMEBOY379]

England/English are like fleas on a dog, they are irritating, nobody likes them and they need to fuck off! LOL Cymru am byth.

[goddedme]

@GAMEBOY379 As a Northerner, I would agree.

[ziviogaannj]

I am Croat and what estounished me is the fact that Croats have more genetic similarity with Celtc than with Slaws and Skits what history thiches use to belive!In fact Celtic tribes lived in Panonia and Dalmatia, today Croatia before 2000 years and after, God bless ya all!

[welshter19]

loving that! welsh and lives in england this has made my day

[gwynowenjones]

[ProphetWolf]

@mush1955 LOL, fuck yes man! But honestly, the fire from Y Ddraig Goch will burn the both of them from true Celtic land. CYMRU AM BYTH! GLORY TO THE CELTS FROM ALL NATIONS! NO MORE INVADERS! CELTIC LAND FOR CELTIC PEOPLE!

[chriswales19]

God that was brilliant :)

[ErictheJazzer]

Now, what have I been telling you for years, boyos ? Here's the proof. The English are the Johnny-come-lately members of the U.K.

The Welsh have been here all along, e,g., the Druids fighting the Roman invaders long before the Saxons/Germans/English turned up. Nuff said !

[methenium]

The Royal Family are Hannoverian as the English themselves will admit.

[RedPawl]

I am a Cornishman as are generations of my ancestors. Two years ago, an Oxford academic came here and we offered our DNA for his test. The result was that we have a very strong genetic connection with the Welsh. We knew this of course but it always seems to come as such a shock to the Sawnecks.

[Tockwork]

Lol, thats great.

Go Wales!

[davidbreizh]

Hello cousins!!..greeting from brittany.

I've read much about the heroic victories that Brittany achieved over the Franks and Vikings. I'm glad Celtic identity is still strong there.

[greenfoam]

Nice story, I've expected that's the case all my life. Although I've not been lucky enough to see England :(. The male line of my family has been in Australia via the East coast of England for about 180 years but it's clear looking at us that we look Dutch(ish) (with some ancient Roman mixed in I'd say) . My Mothers family has alot of Irish blood so I have some of both :) I've always felt a good connection with the people of West Europe but do consider the Welsh the real people of England

[mikeefc1878]

the welsh are the real people of BRITAIN NOT ENGLAND!!!

[surfysez96]

[eoin1916]

The english act like nazis today. They are deeply racist and imperialistic. Free Wales, Scotland and Ireland of these hun bastards, Celtic nations independent and free unite against the auld enemy.

[cranyonrye]

Hi, England is a myth 80% of the "English" are Welshmen. you only have a small Nazi aristocracy who are Angles, Saxon, Jutes and Norman descended. Consider England East Wales because thats the reality, awaken the "English" Celts to their identity and hopefully Anglo Saxon Culture will die forever and Wales/England can return to its pre invasion state.

[redtailedboaz1408]

that was a good video

[chrisjoneschrisjones]

its wierd how the English get so defensive when you say your not British(in the modern sense) or from the uk but rather Welsh.Theyjust dont get it.Its probably because of centuries of conditioning and the fact that the full true history of Britain isnt properly taught in English (or Welsh!) schools.Also they think the fact that your Welsh automaticly means that you hate them or something,which is a bit flattereing on their behalf! anyway,good clip innit

[NThusiast]

That is right!

The name "anglo saxons" comes from the region of ANGELN in Northern Germany (south of the Danish border) and SAXONY (Sachsen) which is a German federal state.

[Robertdub2006]

im welsh and proud of it

[CilicianAri]

i love the welsh a great people.

[GAMEBOY379]

Wales, Scotland, Ireland all Celtic brothers, the English are German bastards! Cymru am byth

[gypsylynet]

Yes, I always knew this in my heart! But this news has really cheered me up for I live in America now, but still miss Wales terribly.

[mush1955]

@gypsylynet ....me too......I moved to Denmark in the 80's !

[mizofan]

The reason many Welsh are shall we say not too keen on the English isn't just to do with ancient events but the continuing rewriting of history to underline English superiority. Channel 4 is a relatively enlightened news channel, but the rest reinforce the idea that England is Britain. And it's not so long ago there was a systematic attempt to destroy the Welsh language- children beaten, soldiers court-martialled.

[adamjones416]

Now reading the coments and seeing this it seems very apparent to me Why the English hate the Welsh so much me being welsh i have witnessd this,.

It's because they feel inferior because they will never be the native people of this land, Our language after years of domination and discouragement is still strong and coming back and there's nothing they can do. It's sad really atleast we have a proper reason to hate them,

Cymru am byth, Ni yw'r Brodorion nhw yw'r Mewnfudwyr.

[Alba12349]

well said mate

[ImperialGuard9001]

Funny how nowsdays englishpeople thinks that descend from celts ; celts are romantized and many people like them in fact english are germanic people that one ancestors are the anglo saxons that invaded and expel the britons(romano-celt).The modern "celts" are welsh , irish and socthish , britons from Bretagne and other people likes Galicians and Portuguese that have some genetical influence.

[whitemagick4]

Cornwall, Scotland and Wales should do themselves a favour and declare independece. They've been held down by England for far too long.

[mush1955]

Ask any Scotsman........England is something that hangs out of the BOTTOM of Scotland !

[darkgear991]

hahaha lol

[mizofan]

How can this come as news to the English? It should have been common knowledge. Little wonder they hate Germans! Oh and English racists who want immigrants to go home for undermining Britishness should pack their bags.

[freyaclub]

most interesting, thanks!

[Zik2]

I have been to Wales two months ago. What a great, proud land it is! Your language is exciting. Little nations should help each other. We Czechs (sorry for speaking about my nation, it must boring for you, but there is a reason for why I say that) also spoke German - and now, thanks to our patriots, we all speak Czech. Celtic nations don't fight for freedom yet, they fight for their languages. The Welsh people won this war already, now is the Irishmen's turn! :-)

[dragjord43]

finaly nothing but the truth the english cant post one hate message!!!

[jusitke07]

Finally. The truth is broadcasted. When was this news report? Anyway, even the Royal family of Britain are of direct German descent. Their family name was originally SAXE-COBURG GOTHA, but during WWI, they changed it to WINDSOR to avoid public outcries to dethrone them and bring Britain into being a republic. The Celtic culture stretched from Mid France, all of U.K., and Ireland. But that all changed when Romans and Germanic tribes invaded at different times in history.

[welshsoldier1]

so true wish every 1 new this

[GAMEBOY379]

Wales forever amen

[jodywellsuk]

Here! here!

[Wofka1986]

Thats nothing new.

The Celts are the real Brits and the Anglo Saxons are just German invaders of Britain.

[jackevans28]

Nice video- thats right the true britons!!

[arian1945]

Yes Welsh persucation!! England cant you see why we hate you.

[jackevans28]

lol yep

[arashzlord]

From what I know, the proto-celts were also originally from mid Europe(what is now south germany, austria, and Czech.), and the proto-germans from northern europe (now Denmark/South Sweden). The Celts, though, migrated to the british isles LONG before the Anglo-Saxons came. Again from what I have studied.

[crugad]

CYMRU RHYDD! FREE WALES!

[MikeHenrik]

Is that surprising?

I am german and every fool notices that german, dutch and english are very similar languages, compare the numbers, if you don´t believe me...

[mush1955]

also Danish

[Bhilithinn]

Very true. Actually the history English language is this: started with old Anglo-Saxon, was influenced by other languages as England was invaded (e.g. a form of French (the Normans), Danish)

The Angles and Saxons were Germanic tribes.

[659Chubb]

There's nothing new in the video. Ethymologicaly:

Algeln (Anglia) is located in the North of Germany.

Saxony is located in the Southeast of Germany.

So anglo-saxons came from Germany.

[poleske]

anglia is the Greek word for English. Also Greeks hate the English, they love the Irish and like the Welsh/Scotish but do not respect them as much as they do the Irish who were able to remove most of the snakes from their Island.

[Alba12349]

our leaders sold us out

aaah but its bin an awful long time since there was a truly english family on the throne haha most the kings are german or french-an indeed welsh!!!

[jackevans28]

correct

[amylovescymru]

CYMRU AM BYTH!!!!!!!!

[friendlyboylulea]

This is a true statement that the English are Germen due to linguastic perspective as well. English is considered to be from Germanic sub branch of 'Indo-European' langaue family however Welsh is from a totally different sub branch 'Celtic' of 'indo-European' language family. Therefore, this statement sounds true to me.
