I just got an email telling me that they love the show but they don't like it when I'm snarky, they don't like the asides, and they don't like the music. Not sure what they like about the show tbh. Maybe that it has "British" in the title? Lol.

outside of that, even the "Saxons" referred to themselves as English, see for instance Ine's Law. Anglo-Saxon is not historically accurate of a term, a fact that has been pointed out well before last year, in fact by Susan Reynolds in 1985.

To that point also, white supremacists didn't just pick it up in the last 10 years. It has been a white supremacist term for a very long time. In Canada, America, Britain, Ireland...many places.

Yes, our listeners absolutely know that it is more complex than that. Specifically they know that Bede is the only reference to "Jutes" and there is no way of knowing that such a group actually existed.

They also know when AS came into use, that it wasn't the term these people used for themselves and that what they would have known themselves as was descendents of patriarchal clans.
