There would have been people of all kinds back 10,000 years ago due to there likely being a big part of doggerland above the waves. Britain is a country and founded by a specific race of humans...and it wasn't Britain back then so how can they have been the first modern Britons...? LOL

It's deliberarely disingenuine since for all they know the bones were from a simple traveller or their genetic line could have died off. It's like claiming a couple of some blonde haired, blue eyed caucasions are the first "modern Chinese" because they find their remains there from thousands of years ago that were just travellers. It doesn't prove...anything.

Certain tribes of humans likely got trapped around the UK islands as doggerland submerged Ireland, which then got cut off from mainland Britain, the Britain from mainland EU. You have to assume that at doggerland's thinnest at times it would still be passable and others not for a long time, so there'd be on/off fluctuations of people back and forth interbreeding. So there'd be people on both sides of doggerland adapting to their environment, mingling their genetics together and so on. Think about that last bit.

But let's be honest here, we all know what the article's really about; pushing more immigration on the UK and justifying it by "it's always happened." Maybe so, but then EVERY country on Earth was founded through immigration, Britain, America, Africa, Egypt, Saudi Arabia etc. But they were all founded by specific peoples for the future of their own peoples. The UK is small as fuck, population getting crowded, not enough good paying jobs even for those that want them and public services that are so burdened they're almost broke. At this point our government should be working out how to make the UK successfully function properly with those already still here and their future children (who will have to suffer through one of the worst job losses in history due to likely millions and millions of jobs going automated) without having to worry about millions more who will have millions of kids themselves.
