BBC-The Bastardisation of British Culture-The Saga Continues Part 3

David Sandilands

I'm not sure what truth you are trying to argue for. If Arthur ever actually existed, he probably wasnt like the character in Mallory's stories, which are sourced to a large degree from French tales. Your comment that Guinevere should have been cast as a Nordic beauty because it would make more rational sense, is actually quite irrational as Arthur (as first mentioned by Nennius) spent his life defending his people from Hengist (the Saxon mercenary) and there were not yet any Nordic people on the scene. The Romans had been around for 400 years and had only just left when Arthur was supposed to have come to prominance. This was therefore Roman Britain on it's last legs. It is more likely,historically, that the Romans had brought Africans with them, as slaves , traders even soldiers.
Anyway, it's only a TV light entertainment series, not a historical drama.


Wulf V`s Response

"Light entertainment" with a thick overlay of politically correct revisionism:all aimed at the uncritical young who soak up everything like a sponge. This is what I find detestable and all carried out under the cloak of "entertainment" and at the expense of British TV licence payers.
I would have thought that my review and subsequent comment speak for themselves but clearly you have not understood the "truth I am arguing for". The BBC have sullied an aspect of northern European mythology by portraying Indo-Europeans of the so-called `Dark Ages` as being welcoming to aliens and `democratic` when the truth is just the opposite. You cannot project the antivalues of the 21st century onto that period of our history. Whether Arthur existed or not is in fact a secondary issue: what matters is the BBC`s social re-engineering of northern European society to fit today`s multiculti agenda.
For your information, the Celts of the pre Anglo-Saxon conquest-the real Celts were a Nordic people and closely related to the Germanic invaders. There is no evidence of any African presence in these islands at these times. In fact there is strong evidence that the `Roman` auxillaries were Germanic foederati and indeed there has been a Germanic presence in parts of Britain and the isles since at least the 4th century CE.
