Default The so-called 'Bayeux Tapestry'

I have had put up today a new 10 Downing Street e-petition (as below) which while a bit of fun, makes a serious point about how much we owe our Anglo-Saxon ancestors. Hoping that fellow English nationalists and all Anglo-Saxon fans at least, will sign it.

Please click on the link below to go to the Number 10 website to look at the petition and sign up

Petition to: ask the French government to return the ‘Bayeux Tapestry’ to England (where it was made) as a token of French repentance and apology for the appalling suffering inflicted during the Norman era by their ancestors on the English people

Your petition reads:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to ask the
French government to return the ‘Bayeux Tapestry’ to England
(where it was made) as a token of French repentance and
apology for the appalling suffering inflicted during the Norman
era by their ancestors on the English people, who had created
in Anglo-Saxon England the first nation state in Europe.

The so called ‘Bayeux Tapestry’ is in fact an eleventh century
embroidery made in England and is one of England’s most
important cultural and historical treasures, which should never
have left these shores. The return of this unique and iconic
national treasure should be made the occasion for a celebration
of our important and wonderful Anglo-Saxon cultural, political
and linguistic heritage. Our Anglo-Saxon ancestors gave us our
nation’s name of England, our world language and our identity
as the English people.

We should never forget how Anglo-Saxon England created the
bedrock of our society, nor should we forget the cruelty and
rapacity of the French and Norman invaders who destroyed and
stole so much from England.

It’s time the French people made apology for their ancestors’
actions and the homecoming of this Anglo-Saxon treasure to
England will symbolise this better than anything else.

We want it back, now!

Most of the English language is derived from Germanic dialectics. French is mainly confined to legal and political terminology. English is the worlds richest language with over 100,000 unique terms, 90,000 more than the second placed language, French.

Most technical jargon in all fields is Latin/French based. See Wikipedia's pie chart (with source) on English vocabulary origins: Image:Origins of English PieChart 2D.svg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

French and Latin (which sometimes arrived in English via French and Old French anyway) account for about 60%. Germanic is actually only responsible for about 30%. Not a majority. But Germanic terms will be most often used in common speech, since they constitute much of our basic vocabulary.

What about our Basque related ancestors? After all genetically most Brits, even the English are mostly descended from Stone age settlers most related to the Basques.

I'll thank you to keep your nose out of this, this is English business, not British. You British have far too much to say on English affairs.

He is probably English mate. You don't have to subscribe to the English nat view to be English. I know of view non-English people who are part of the BNP, they aren't too popular in Scotland or Wales or even Cornwall.

Is this a smokescreen hastily thrown up to cover the EDP's latest election disaster?

That is not known for certain, although it does seem to be majority opinion at present. Anyway, England and Nomandy were unified when the so-called tapestry (actually embroidery) was made, so Bayeux is as good a location as anywhere for this magnificent artefact.

He isn't EDP. He's FEP. How is senility?
