 Immigration (2012)

The story of early Britain has traditionally been told in terms of waves of invaders displacing or annihilating their predecessors. Continuous  population does not preclude profound shifts in culture and identity. It is actually common to observe important cultural change, including adoption of completely new identities, with little or no biological change to a population. a lot of people has thought themselves as British since the time of Roman, but are not real British.
