BBC Uses Incomplete Study = London ALWAYS Multicultural

[Teddy Bear]

It's becoming easier and easier to spot BBC agenda on a range of topics because they're just more and more blatant in their presentation of 'news and reports' that support it, regardless of truth or accuracy. It shows the security they enjoy knowing their is nothing our present government will do about it. Neither for that matter, with the BBC controlling what many people think in this country, will future governments.

Breitbart spells out one of the BBC's current obvious attempts to push their agenda.

BBC Claims London ALWAYS Multi-Cultural: Based On An Incomplete Study Of Just FOUR People
BBC propaganda

Yesterday, BBC News told the nation that “a DNA study has confirmed” that London had always been the “diverse” and “cosmopolitan” city it is today. Except, the study hasn’t even been conducted yet, and previous studies suggest the complete opposite, save for a small number of “diverse” Roman masters who did not stay in the country.

The BBC reported the Museum of London “plans” to analyse the DNA of 20,000 human remains stored in its archives. But the corporation has also said “these initial results come from four people” and conveniently “two had origins from outside Europe, another was from continental Europe and one was a native Briton.”

Combining these tentative results with comments from a useful, enthusiastic, multiculturalist working at the Museum, the BBC quoted senior curator Caroline McDonald: “The thing to remember with the original Londoners is that they were not born here… the Mediterranean, somewhere else from Africa… So the stories we can tell about our ancient population are absolutely relevant to modern contemporary London.”

However, the few skeletons selectively represented, as the BBC’s article goes on to detail, are four exceptions rather than the rule.

All four are rare finds associated with the Roman invasion. The slave-owning Romans, of course, established London (Londinium), so it’s hardly surprising a small number of individuals from other Roman provinces. The “north African” referred to is identified by tooth enamel, not DNA, so was likely a Caucasian Roman from Alexandria or Carthage.

The Romans did not stay, however, in any significant numbers and nor did they intermarry with the native Britons who had resided on these isles since the end of the last ice age.

Earlier this year, in a massive and extensive study, archaeologists and geneticists from Oxford University found that there is very little Roman DNA in the British genetic make-up, and none from Africa.

In fact, the British population has remained so stable that genetically similar individuals inhabit the same areas today as they did following the Anglo-Saxon invasion, shortly after the Romans departed these shores.

The research found that people in central and southern England (including London) have a significant DNA contributions from the Anglo-Saxons, showing they intermarried with, rather than replaced, the people. But Vikings and Romans left little DNA trance behind.

The different geographical genetic groups in existence today correspond accurately with the ancient Celtic and Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.



The ‘People of the British Isles’ study analysed the DNA of 2,039 modern Britons from rural areas, whose four grandparents were all born within 80km of each other. Our genes come from these four individuals, allowing the researchers to view a snapshot of British genetics in the late 19th Century – before the mass migration events of the last century.

Northern European populations have long been known to be some of the least heterozygous (genetically diverse) in the world, but the precise degree of historical continuity took researchers by surprise.

“When we plotted the genetics on a map we got this fantastic parallel between areas and genetic similarity”, Professor Mark Robinson, of Oxford University’s department of archaeology, told the Telegraph in March this year.

“It was an extraordinary result, one which was much more than I expected. We see areas like Devon and Cornwall where the difference lies directly on the boundary”, he said.

Adding: “The genetic make-up we see is really one of perhaps 1,400 years ago.”

The study found precise genetic divides between Cornwall and Devon, along the river Tamar, and between North and South Wales – both exactly corresponding to ancient kingdoms.

Professor Peter Donnelly, Director of the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics said: “It has long been known that human populations differ genetically but never before have we been able to observe such exquisite and fascinating detail.

“We used the genetic material to really tease apart the subtle differences in DNA. And we’re able to zoom in and see which areas are closer genetically.

“In a certain sense there are more genetic differences between North and South Wales than between Kent and Scotland.

“And in a certain sense there is more similarity between people in the North of England and Scotland than people in the south of England.”

Hey BBC, Of Course London Was ‘Diverse’ In 43 A.D. — It Was FOUNDED By Foreign Invaders

by OLIVER LANE

Always keen to pick a fight with Britain’s socially conservative opponents of mass immigration, the BBC is using DNA evidence to prove London has always been a “diverse” city. But guess what? Even Emperor Constantius could have told you that – and he’s been dead 1,700 years.

Chances are, if you were born in the United Kingdom and care about it, you’ll also know some simple things about its history. Key dates, people, places — what one might pithily refer to as “1066 and all that”.

One might know for instance that London was founded by the Romans as a centre of trade on the river Thames. The location gave them excellent access to the ports of northern Europe while being far enough inland to take advantage of the rich mineral wealth of the British Isles for export.

Anyone who went to a state school before the Labour Party decided child-centric education was a great thing might also know that after the mass migration and barbarian incursions that brought forth the collapse of the Roman empire and their withdrawal from Britain, the City of London stood near abandoned for decades.

Being resettled by recognisably British peoples in the 6th century, London retained an essentially majority homogeneous character ever since — a near 1,500 year run.

Although the majority of Londoners have until recently always been of this one group, there has always been this oft-celebrated ‘diversity’ of inhabitants. As befits a mercantile city which eventually grew to a centre of global trade, transient foreign groups have come and gone over the centuries.

London was, along with other major coastal British and northern European cities, a member of the Hanseatic league — a sort of Tudor predecessor to the European Common Market, except without the suffocating political union and Kafkaesque laws. This continental influence is quite besides the French protestants, small numbers of empire slaves, eastern European Jews, and others who came to London before the mass migration which started in the 20th century.

Yet the BBC’s ‘one in the eye for the racists’ attitude towards DNA testing the large archive of excavated graves held by the Museum of London deliberately ignores the simple fact of this settled-British, London population. A population that might be referred to as a “white working class” that remained constant for centuries while other transient groups came and sometimes went.

This attitude is best displayed by the presumably carefully chosen bodies picked first for DNA analysis — against all sense of proportionality for the people who have in fact made London for over a millennia, only one of the four tested so far was a “native Briton”.

With two of those tested from beyond the bounds of Europe, and the third from the continent, the mix picked for analysis perhaps deliberately more closely resembles the modern London Borough of Tower Hamlets where over half of the population originates from outside Europe, and fewer than a third are native British, according to census figures.

This sort of diversity — or rather homogeneity of foreign peoples, as it now is — is totally alien to Britain, and to London. For the first time ever the city is now minority white British, a remarkable change wrought by mass migration and white flight.

Not even in the founding days under the Roman merchants was the city so “diverse” as it is today, and proving otherwise with selective reporting on foreigners who happened to be buried in the city over the past 1,900 years is deceitful, and contrary to recent, genuine scientific studies which have proven beyond doubt the settled nature of Britain’s native peoples.

In some strange twist of fate, there is today a bronze statue of the Roman Emperor Trajan standing before the old city walls in the Borough of Tower Hamlets. A great military leader who pushed the boundaries of the Roman Empire and ruled much of Britain remotely, one might very well wonder what he would have made of Londinium today.
