Hadrian's wall not about the Romans

Let's rewrite the history books to be more inclusive.
Not at all, but what should be pointed out is how the Romans, the very same Romans went of a military campaign to kill everyone north of the walls, yes there are two walls, one in England but also one more to the north in the Scottish central belt. So basically they the Romans committed genocide against the Picts, from top to bottom of what is now today Scotland, the Scotti who were Irish moved into Scotland after the Romans left as the Romans had depopulated there through genocide, so they can own that history right there.
 
Is there nothing these people won’t moan about?
Doesn't seem like it, the Gammons on here are so thin skinned they get offended by everything.

You don't? It's an inflammatory article on the BBC
Maybe it's just me but I fail to see what's so inflammatory, more like..
I personally didn't know there was an ethnic history to the area, so I find it quite interesting.
This
I don't think history is about to be rewritten or anything though.
And this.
 
This is what I was thinking. It's not like these people travelled here themselves. They were shipped here and stuffed on a guardswatch.
They probably marched most of the way but yes, contingents from Germany were based on the wall as well as from elsewhere. Auxiliaries did much of the heavy lifting and fighting on the frontiers of empire.
 
stop using gammon to describe people, it’s a slur
:cry:

You never did answer my query about was it was that has made you so thin skinned nowadays? I mean, you always seem to hark back to the good old days where you could call a spade a spade, but now get so hot under the collar about the term gammon
 
I notice the various ethnic groups always shouting “we were in this bit of history too, you know!” keep really quiet about people from their various ethnicities being members of the German armed forces including Waffen SS units in WW2.
africa enslaved its own people then sold them, we need more educating about it and all the genocides that happened in africa in recent history

Is that strange? It's not like we celebrate the darker parts of our history either

(I think that's the point of this story though isn't it? ;) )

I wouldn’t moan if I was allowed to call a spade a spade, but I’m not, so equal treatment for all please
 
Gammon is an insult based on someone's flushed skin colour. Should be anathema to people like Tony but for some reason they embrace it.
And he just lols when I ask him to explain it as he knows I’m fundamentally right, but he could never admit that. His sort never admit when they’re in the wrong because they stubbornly insist they never are.

People are often happy to dish it out but when the tables are turned the dummy gets spat out.
