But the more important question is the relation of this mass and the invaders. I think the difference must have been smaller in the British Ises (particularly England) than Central/Southeast Europe (eg Tirol). Much of Britain may have been Northwest European before the Anglo-Saxon and Viking incomers.

It doesn't make any sense that the English are today one people whereas the Welsh (or the Cornish) are another and yet you presume that that might have been the case long before the A-S invasion.

Where the article reads outbreed you should probably understand genocide. At least male genocide. Apparently the y-chromosome tells one story and the mtDNA tells another. Which again, points to something very obvious.

This part I must admit that it worries me: "[...] left the country culturally and genetically Germanised".

It is not that long since the Germanic invasions occured and their trek down south only slowed down in the late centuries. But they did not stop. In the last decades they have in fact increased and keep increasing each year. The numbers of Germans, Dutch and English moving to countries like Italy, Southern France or Spain is not to be taken lightly. Brittany is also getting its share.

One can argue that there are priorities and that non European immigrants are the priority. But that's only one way to look at priorities. A more realistic way is that the priority is oneself, your own. How does it matter if you begin to be substituted by a non European or by another European?
