Foreign influences

[Chas]

It's St. George's Day! "We reject foreign influences in England. That is our weltanschauung. Multiculturalism is our bête noire and we strongly believe that English culture is destined to become kaput if the current zeitgeist continues to be de rigueur. But it doesn't have to be a fait accompli and that's why we will continue to be the enfant terrible of modern politics. It's time to act:
Carpe diem!"

(this is a literal translation, of “happy St. George’s day“ it doesn’t mean anything proper in Romanian, before anyone calls me out!)

And even the English language is a foreign influence. According to this video, English comes from Old Norse, not from Old English. See from 13 minutes if the rest is too boring.
