Here is a tweet from an internet man with far right interests, who claims to be an 'international Science Communications specialist' and 'an historian'.
His tweet, predictably, is ahistorical, and scientifically illiterate meaningless puffinwank.

Apart from being continually invaded by Romans, by endless people from the Eurpoean continent, and a almost complete population turnover from Beaker folk about 4500 years ago, England wasn't really a nation till the 10th century.
Before which there was widespread Roman Briton Christianity. See @holland_tom on Æthelstan and Æthelflaed for more info on that.
But more broadly, ethnicity, whatever that means, is not fixed through time, nor does it correspond to nationhood. A man claiming Englishness as an ethnicity is descended from ALL Europeans as recently as the 10th Century.
Anyway, it's all in here. All claims of ancestral purity or centuries old ethnic lineages are meaningless.
Be proud by all means, but don't back it up with this kind of ahistorical, non-scientific mastubatory sophistry.
