Meet Rebecca Redfern (BA, MSc, PhD, FSA) lol. She is a senior curator of Archaeology at the Museum of London. She is dead set on making sure everyone knows Britain was as diverse 2,000 years ago as it is now. Lets go over why she is a liar and a hack:

What are we to take from all of this? You cannot trust these academic people at all. They will lie through their teeth for their political agenda, and that agenda is: Your home was never white and homogenous, so you must accept infinity migrants.
Poor academic practices go much deeper than this. Please take a look at this thread where I challenge an anti-white academic who deliberately spreads misinformation about the racial composition of Medieval Britain.
Meet Rebecca Redfern (BA, MSc, PhD, FSA) lol. She is a senior curator of Archaeology at the Museum of London. She is dead set on making sure everyone knows Britain was as diverse 2,000 years ago as it is now. Lets go over why she is a liar and a hack:
She has a had a number of popular articles over the years pushing a diverse Britain. Today the BBC published the article in the tweet I am quoting above, the Guardian also picked up on this. So, is there any truth to all of this stuff she is putting out there? Let's find out.
Both the BBC and the Guardian are working from the following 2019 book chapter on which Redfern is the first author. An interesting title for a book "Bioarcheology of Marginalized People". You can already tell it's going to be a very serious work!
Why is this important? Well because the far right is taking an increasing interest in Medieval history, and they are wrong and evil, so Redfern feels it is her job to make sure that people are "present and correct".
Here is the Economist article she cites. The header image is from Game of Thrones. The article seems to think that presenting a Marvelization of medieval history will give people the view that the medieval period wasn't as homogenous as the far right thinks. Rigorous scholarship!
I have taken the time to look through all of the public records for the doctors found guilty of misconduct in Ireland. Tried my best to find out where they were from, and removed duplicates. Of the 104 cases of misdonduct from 2008-2023, 84% were non-Irish.
I was looking through the list of doctors found guilty of professional misconduct over the last ten years in Ireland.
75 of the 94 doctors have distinctly foreign names. Some of the names excluded are questionable while two doctors were afforded anonymity.
The reports linked to
The introduction to the chapter lays out the case that blacks and other non-white individuals in cemeteries have been anecdotally observed, but that they were never formally acknowledged, hence the title "Officially absent but actually present".
None of this analysis is very robust at all. It was published with a politcal agenda in mind. You can tell by the introduction and by the shoddy work she has done to concoct a story of a diverse Britain. This isn't the first time she has done this, Roman Britain was diverse too!
What does Radfern conclude from this very rudimentary DNA work and seemingly inaccurate bone work? This individual is mixed, and possibly a three-way mix at that. White, black and asian. She's a picture of modern London!
So, what did she find? Severeral individuals which she claims are either Black African or are dual heritage. All this purely from skull measurements of various kinds. How accurate are they? Not very it seems. Last picture from here:
What about the mitochondrial DNA analysis, surely that will back up her claim? Nope. Of the three samples they performed this analysis on, only one was successfully sequenced. The haplogroup? U5b2a5, very common across Europe. No actual looking at this haplogroup across time.
Moving on. Of the 41 individuals they picked, 3 were picked for DNA analysis (only mitochondrial DNA). And only 8 had complete crania. There more I read the more I feel like the data was not fit for the analysis she wanted to perform. Dodgy classifications and imputation too...
Bit more writing but it's mostly just the usual lib slop. Talk of racism, sexism, disability, and the lived experience of Black people in Medieval London. Not worth getting into at all. We're concerned with what was actually in the graves, not what she wants to be there.
You can see this in the confused discussion Redfern gives of the results. What has she actually done apart from demonstrate that these sorts of methods aren't very good?
This work no better than the previous work. She begins by setting the political context, talk of migrants etc. She then begins to make claims about a skeleton having "Black ancestry" without ever defining what that is. I imagine the classifications are as bad as those above.
She then talks about the work they do in this chapter. Essentially what they have is 41 individuals from a medieval cemetery in London. And they want to explore the diversity of these individuals using a variety of methods. Mostly just bone analysis, some unremarkable DNA work.

Many social welfare schemes in Ireland exhibit a notable trend: non-Irish citizens are disproportionately represented, surpassing their 12% share of the population as per the 2022 census. This pattern has been evident since at least 2014. A detailed thread follows:
โWow 5.2 million views. Closer to the fake number than the real one. Firstly, Iโd like to thank all my based followers, you know who you are. Secondly, to all the cringe libtards, enjoy hell. Lastly, RIP Med Coal, who died from AIDS.โ
It turns out this guy is anti-white, just like his colleague Rebecca Redfern, who recently promoted the narrative that medieval Britain was full of Black people. FYI, this work was influenced by Black Feminist Archaeological thought.
Good to see some push back against this category of very online man obsessed with laundering aDNA papers to make unsophisticated Far Right dog whistles. Seem to have little actual interest in the past beyond their narrow sense of identity and grievance in the present.

In January alone, you invited an additional 3,400 foreigners to come on work visas, combined with their dependents that could drive the number of new arrivals to 6,000+. How does starting to build 3,700 homes fix this? The answer is it doesn't. Stop immigration and it might.

Youโre going to have to reckon with the reality sooner or later, Rory. Peopleโs

I think itโs somewhat better when dealing with geneticists. There was a recent paper which looked at skin (QT) pigmentation in ancient populations, and they acknowledged, though it was hidden away, that the methodology is flawed. It will probably get worse though.

Some things never change. I was reading The Spanish Inquisition (1965 edition) by Henry Kamen and was shocked to learn this. โBy the mid-sixteenth century it was reliably reported that a majority, if not all, of the Spanish Clergy in Rome [โฆ] were of Jewish origin.โ
Very important point. The asylum crisis is secondary to what has been happening with immigrants who come here on work permits and student visas, and who then bring their dependents. A case in point is 2023, which saw a huge influx of people from all of these. It can't continue.
Too many people seem to be of the impression that the immigration problem is strictly to do with the asylum crisis and not public discontent about the levels of immigration over the past two decades finally boiling over.
@gavreilly
What exactly is striking about it? It merely a reflection of what people see in their daily life. They didn't vote for mass immigration, but the politicians opened the gates anyway. That the % isn't higher is what is striking to me.

Why do you continue to post this claim? The reality is that we cannot predict the pigmentation of ancient individuals. You can read this in papers that discuss it, or even popular books like Adam Rutherford's. See below for links

You canโt compare modern and ancient genomes. Using tests developed on modern populations, a WHG will appear as โdark skinnedโ and if we perform the same tests on Neanderthals we get the same result. Neanderthals had been in Europe for 300k+ years so they certainly had light skin
One minute we're told white skin evolved to absorb vitamin D in colder climes, the next minute we're told WHG's ancestors had black skin all through the Ice-Age and manged to survive somehow.
Something fishy going on.

On this island anonymity is a rare commodity. Traitors are easily found out.
In Q1 2023, non-Irish citizens, making up 12% of Ireland's 2022 population (indicated by the dashed purple line in the figure), represented nearly 38% of rent supplement recipients. This indicates an overrepresentation of more than threefold, which has been present for years.
Irish prisons only record nationality, not whether a person is foreign born. This report claims that the foreign prison population in 2023 was 15% when in 2022 it was 22% as per the IPS. Big drop. The report cited doesn't give full figures for Ireland, oddly enough.
