The reason anyone wants to claim Dutch or Danish roots for the English language is the extreme prejudice (even if it's subconscious) of the English against the Germans.

don't understand your view here but would like to.

it's Germany and Germany alone who calls the shots,
with respect its 60/40 or so.
France being the 40. no fan of France - surrender monkey/vichy (they still refuse to face that history) -so personally no fan of "historical cowards"(so not fan of Japan on this count either BTW).
but France does make up the other half of the EU - the lesser half - but legit sizable half.
just stating for clarification.

and the British wanted no part of that.
nor the concept of being a part of Europe.
the always viewed themselves as "themselves" - i visited England in the mid 90's BTW - just saying - i noted this mentality then and now).
to "Them" there is there is "the continent" and "England".......I'm thinking internally WTF?????????????????? you are 15 mlles from the "continent!"..............but i guess for an Englishman 15 miles is as 15000 miles.................
whatever. (Ithought the whole mentality was hubristic foolishness and not based upon simple geography - but i'm just a dumb american).
due to that demented mentality the English never really were willing to join the whole EU mentality =- even when they were "in" it.

They would rather exit the EU than become an economic vassal state of Germany like practically all other European countries have become by now.
Trumpite Englander's cut their throat! - and good riddance! get what they voted for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
say goodby to Northren Ireland..................."good friday acreement" ----25 yrs of peace and open boarders GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no, bombs will not return.........................$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ talks, Northern Ireland will just end up voting itself into the Republic of Ireland in 10 yrs time (say goodbye England!)......................might have to say goodbye to Scottland too!!!!!!!! (that will depend upon the reforendum "brexit" might create - they voted to stay in the UK prior to Brixit, but Scotts like the EU and post Brexit i expect they will have a new vote------------------------and will leave the UK as NI will.
as will Gibraliter BTW - thanks to Rubes for Brexit, England can kiss Gibraler goodbye. it will soon become a part of Spain (after the checkpoints/barbed wire are reinstated, as in the 1970's?
such fooks - voting for things with international repercussions the hayseeds have not understanding nor respect for.
they get the full the repercussions coming to them IMO.
