What? I just revealed that the anglosaxon britain is just a big myth, most british are hardly anglosaxon looking, only a tiny minority in some lost patch in east anglia might look anglosaon, thats about 2% of british population.
If England isn't Anglosaxon then where the hell did they get their language and last names from?

You just revealed how much of a nutcase you are. lol. If England isn't Anglosaxon then where the hell did they get their language and last names from?
only a minority were anglosaon, and they pretty much ruled the country and influenciated it linguistically and culturally wise, the same spaniards did in most places of the new world/filippines or modern britishmen in India. Its something obvious, the overwhelming majority of brits dont look like germanic people, although Im not claiming they look mediterranean either.

Most Germanic people (which the English are a part of) don't look like the way you think Germanic people do either. Not a single country in Northern Europe has a blonde majority.

He has uralic blood, uralic isnt asian blood, even lapps are reduced caucasians not mongoloids.
There are 2 different strains among the Saami. There are villages of darker-skinned black-haired Saami, with smaller faces, like some of the Uralic/Samoyed peoples in Western Siberia, while most Saami are blond and paler, and have somewhat elongated faces. The Saami are quite complex, and the genetic picture is still being sorted out.
You are full of it. My step-grandmother has similar features to Famke to a tee, and she was from England. The man she married is also English and is blonde (well, now gray) and blue-eyed. What in the world are you smoking man? What do you have against British people?
Nothing, Im just revealing the truth that brits are not really anglosaxons, I'm neither claming the brits are southern europeans. As a whole the brits look like what they are, pre-celtic/pre-germanic populations that already inhabitated the british Isles long ago the arrival of modern nordics and germanics from central asia.
There are germanic looking brits, but overall they are a tiny minority of the whole bunch, people like paul bettany, etc So the fact that you show me a person who looks more to the germanic side doesnt change a thing, overall the brits are overhelming of ancient british substrata and it clearly shows in their phenotypes.

They're a mix of the substratum and later Anglo-Saxon/Frisian/Nordic admixture. This was stated from the outset of the thread. So what else is new? For the Nth time, what's your point?

The mixture is only valid in some areas of Eastern england and south east scotland where even the overwhelming amoung of maternal dna came straight up from ancient british genetic lines.
Western/southern england, wales, most of scotland (except eastern lowlands), and pretty much all of ireland except some few villages with some viking input have always been predominantly/entirely ancient british.
To put it easy there are 70% of areas in the UK where the bulk of the population is either quite overwhelming ancient british or pure ancient british.
The 30% remaining of the isles Is rather a mix, where still most of the maternal dna sides are overwhelming ancient british.
So the answer is , majority of brits are overwhelming/pure ancient british, but there is a substantial minority of brits who are more mixed, and even the average of those more mixed areas in the UK still have a large amount of ancient british ancestry (in many cases being dominant)
I guess there was more norman and viking admiture in some areas on northern UK and west Ireland than there was saxon/frisian mixture in the southeast UK (which is highly overrated imo).
The amount of everyday british people who look like they could have arrived from a plane coming straight up from copenhagen is very slim. There are far more brits who look classically ancient british or even mixed british.
