It looks like Paphitis had a point... (not that us Cypriots should lose too much sleep over the fights of foreigners)

My my, what a lot of unjustified attacks. You do seem particularly dense, towards understanding Germanic-English, today! Maybe you are a Celtic remnant?

"Inherited trait" ? Race and language? Aren't you the one who sourced a link on mitochondrial and Y chromosome detection of language evolution on your "How old is English" thread ?

(Perhaps you are just warming-up your personal-attack skills for de-railing Kimon's pending thread .... )

The alleged inherited trait you mentioned was fascism, as though it was a part of Germanic genetic make up to be born naturally fascist. That of course is racist nonsense and along with your absurdities about the heritability of dinosaur characteristics and craft skills, (as opposed to the inherited capability to learn craft skills) it shows your knowledge of inherited characteristics is woefully poor. The trouble is it appears to me that you are so consumed with your bitterness and animosity to the English in general and me in particular that you cannot see what an increasingly absurd characture you are making of your self.

The point of the articles is that on analysis of the possible ancestor languages of English (and the distribution of The Y chromosomes) there is less concordance between the language or the Genetics of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes with that of the English but a rather greater concordance between the English with that of Belgic/Frisian peoples. Now it is known the Belgea came to England before Romans and bearing in mind the linguistic similarities that suggest the language we now speak as English was probably brought by the Belgea peoples probably 500 years before the alleged Anglo Saxon invasion.

That is possibly confirmed by eg place name evidence where Names claimed to be Anglo Saxon in origin, ie post Roman departure, only make sense if describing likely pre Roman geographical features that ceased to exist before Roman times and the so called Anglo Saxons would not have known of. The logic of that is that these alleged Germanic names were applied in pre-Roman times.

There is likewise evidence of continuity of rituals from pre Roman times through to late medieval times , which likewise suggests a continuity that is contrary to the population replacement theories.

It is indeed quite likely that what are claimed by some to be Anglo Saxon genetic markers might be Viking markers.

Londinium itself may well have a Germanic rather than So called Celtic or Brythonic origin.

Note I am not claiming that no Angles Saxons and Jutes came to England after the end of Roman rule, some did, but increasingly the evidence tends suggests they were relatively few but ended up in position of power.

Kinon is just childish and beneath the Cyprus Nationalists.

No Cypriot Nationist should degrade themselves by discussing with such person of inferior intellect! There are more important issues at stake and which deserve our collective attention than to be caught up in Kimon's childish rhetoric.

Get back to your play room NOW. And this is an order. You hear?

Look kaffa!

For many years I have been moulded into a certain Nationalism which is so powerful and beyond your comprehension. I have a predisposition to extreme Nationalism in that I uphold allegiance to one Nation and one ethnicity. You better stop playing with powers you do not understand!

I do not prostitute myself to the glories of another Nation. If they want to be glorified by me, then they can first of all prove to me that they are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of the "Brotherhood". That is the way I was bought up to think. Since they are not prepared to do so, then Cypriots such as I will face the enemy alone, and make the sacrifice to free the homeland.
