What you fail to understand is that the BBC has a pro-Norman bias...

The United English Patriots of England are among the last crankish remnant of believers in an old pseudo-historical idea known as the "Norman yoke," according to which the Saxon period in England was a utopia that was completely destroyed by Norman invaders starting with William the Conqueror. Specifically, they regard the Anglo-Saxon people and their descendants as victims of mistreatment that began in 1066 and manifests in the present day in the form of a vast anti-English conspiracy. They are able to back this theory up largely by defining "anti-English" really, really broadly.

For example, when a comedian such as Eddie Izzard pokes fun at English people this is taken as evidence of anti-English bigotry. Interestingly, however, the board has a subforum devoted largely to ethnic jokes, with a disclaimer reading "Offended? don't be. As Bernard Manning would say, 'it's just a fucking joke'". The forumgoers are apparently oblivious to this blatant double standard.

Despite being critical of the culture of victimhood prevalent in today's society, the ASF crew are all too eager to get a slice of the persecution pie for themselves; as such, they're always moaning about the Norman Conquest. What's more, they apparently expect the rest of the country to be equally obsessed with the subject: a number of members cling to the downright surreal belief that their old adversary, the leftist media, is disseminating pro-Norman propaganda.

"I see the BBC are repeating the series of programes about the Normans. Nothing like repeated BBC brainwashing!", says "Woden's Child". "The Normans killed tens of thousands of our kinfolk in the aftermath of 1066", replies a chap named Steven. "They never mention it, could it be the BBC are secret holocaust deniers? They just want people to believe the Normans were a sweet bunch of friendlies who built nice churches. Wankers." "The only Norman I ever liked was Norman Wisdom", adds "Guthlac".

Oh, and look:  hxxp://www.englisc-gateway.com/bbs/index

That's not a misspelling, by the way.  Apparently "sh" is part of the Norman conspiracy, and so has been purged from the language.  Or something like that, it's too hilairous to remember properly.

  And I thought NeoConfederates were funny for being butthurt about Reconstruction.

[Cain]

To be fair, this is probably the first I have ever heard of people like this.  The mind boggles at the idea of a thousand year long Norman conspiracy to keep the Anglo-Saxon man down.

[Prince Glittersnatch III]

Checking out the forum I don't see many mentions of the Norman conspiracy. Lots of Muslim bashing and Golden Dawn fetishism though.

[Cain]

LOOK HERE YOU, JUST BECAUSE THEY LIKE SOME GREEKS DOES NOT MEAN THIS IS A MARXIST-LIBERAL PC LOVEFEST LIKE YOU COMMIE AMERICANS GET FROM YOUR COMMIE KENYAN PRESIDENT!  THIS IS IN-GER-LAND AND SO LONG AS THE GREEKS STAY IN GREECE, KILLING OTHER, MORE PINKO GREEKS, GOOD FOR THEM.

ALSO, FUCK MUSLIMS.  NOT LITERALLY, MISCEGENATION WILL WEAKEN THE PURITY OF THE ANGLO-SAXON RACE, JUST LIKE THE NORMANS WANT.  IT'S DIVIDE AND CONQUER, DON'T YOU SEE?

[Mangrove]

Doesn't this just beg for someone to get all 'Celtic' and start going on about the 'Anglo-Saxon' conspiracy to keep them down? How about a pro-Roman forum to discuss how England has been steadily going to seed since the 4th century?

Secret holocaust? Like really reals? For realness?

I thought that was an official part of the program of the SNP?

[P3nT4gR4m]

The SNP are almost entirely based on an parallel universe where winning the battle of bannockburn actually made a lasting difference in the grand scheme of things. Is much later time period where celts had all but extincted anyway.

It's becoming harder and harder to surprise me as I learn more and more stupid shit. I mean, Gene Ray, 'nuff said.

But Cain does it again.

Well when the Germanic languages got really fucking drunk the French language raped it savagely.

That is how English was born.
