I do think the Brexit show could be improved this time around by the magical introduction of a bucket of 90s kids’ TV style gunge to anyone who starts talking about “a customs union”.

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

My liege, we are off hunting. Have you brought your falcon? Nay for I have brought my snail.

We are looking at a manuscript of a hare sat on a fearsome looking greyhound. The hare is wearing a gauntlet on which sits a snail who is absolutely up for the hunt.

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

I know there’s a meme about your biggest unexpected enemy in adulthood being the person who owned your house before you, and I get that, but for me, it’s whoever decided to plant a laurel border hedge on the street side of my garden fence, may their socks always be wet and their pillow warm.

The model created from the Flag Fen auger survey shows that the basin around the post-alignment has a gentle gradient across its western half, beside a deeper 250-300m wide “valley” across the eastern half. This eastern deeper, wetter zone corresponds to the location of the Flag Fen platform.

My favourite part was measuring one point at a very soggy nearly three metres in what is now the Iron Age house paddock, and then the next one towards Northey being a sandy, gritty about 40cm. Amazing to see the difference between the basin and the (relatively) high and dry land.

Last year’s Flag Fen auger survey was designed to accurately map the pre-Holocene land surface and surviving Holocene sediment sequence in the area around the Flag Fen post-alignment. This week we’ll be exploring the project and some of its findings. Photo: Emma Bothamley.

So the last group of people that might realistically be called "indigenous" inhabitants of the British Isles a bunch of hunter-gatherers that we don't have a name for, from Doggerland, a place that is now fully under the sea, and who haven't existed for 6,000 years.

And the Neolithic farmers who migrated to the British Isles first came from Anatolia in modern-day Turkey (fuck off, I'm not calling it "Türkiye" that's ethnonationalist bullshit itself). They replaced about 90% of the genepool of the prior Mesolithic inhabitants who were culturally hunter-gatherers

I cannot overstate how much the Bronze Age revolution changed the cultural fabric of Britain. Stonehenge is a cultural hybrid - the earlier phases of it we constructed by Neolithic people with no knowledge of metal-working, and the later phases by Bronze Age early Celtic-speaking Britons.

And prior to that the introduction of Celtic languages happened through various periods of migration during the Bronze Age, starting with the Bell Beaker people (fucking Beakers, coming over here, drinking out of cups). This totally upended neolithic society.

If anything, Iron Age Britain (England did not exist, remember) was even *less* culturally homogenous as the various Celtic tribes all had their own traditions, beliefs and political interests, and (in the south at least) were also mixing with, and yes fucking, their Gallic and Belgic counterparts.

Prior to that, the concept of "England" didn't exist at all. It was just "Britannia". Romano-British culture was, as the name implies, a hybrid of Roman and "native" (I'll get to that in a minute) Celtic cultures, and pre-Roman Celtic Britain was just a bunch of tribes who all shared an island.

As for "Anglo-Saxon" as an ethnicity: my brother in Christ, have you heard of the Heptarchy? Have you heard of the Danelaw? Fuckssake, in the 6th Century Herefordshire, Shropshire and Cheshire were still essentially in Wales.

1,000 years you might note, takes you back to AD 1026, and 40 years after that was the Norman Invasion. So, if you are of European desecent, among the various Celtic Britons, "Anglo-Saxons" (not real) and Normans, there is a bunch of them that you, and I, are ALL genealogically descended from..

Once again, speaking as a professional archaeologist: "English" is not an ethnicity in any meaningful sense. You only have to go back about 1,000 years before everyone in Europe has the same group of common genealogical ancestors. Humans have lived on the British Isles for almost a million years.
