  33.  @coen8677  "The peoples who inhabited the Isles before the Romans arrived were Indo-European Celtic people. " There is no valid academic basis or argument to call those people "Celtic". Only linguists call them so, only after the 19th century (hence you cannot push this label backwards in time), and there is no evidence whatsoever those people all called themselves Celts. Only in Iberia are tombstones found with the name "Celt" dating from the Roman period. "As a scientist who took history as an elective, I see you fell for the modern rewriting of British history, which is nonsense." I didn't, actually, and I would gladly have this discussion live with you any day, any time. You may read Simon James' "The Atlantic Celts - Ancient People or Modern Invention?" and John Collis' "The Celts = Origins, Myths and Inventions" to catch up on how Britons and Celts only got conflated due to Romanticism in the Victorian Age. Also read Patrick Sims-Williams "An Alternative to Celtic from the East and Celtic from the West" to find out that "Hallstatt and La Tene" were never Celtic. Finally, read Hübner for a calm and slow explanation of why only in Iberia are ancient people found who actually called themselves Celts by tribal name and personal name all over epigraphic evidence such as hundreds of tombstones, votive altars and personal ceramic items, all bearing the name "Celt" with various suffixes, which is a mark of local, native, original naming, not of a foreign people having arrived. I hope this helps. If it helps you think about it: the problem is there is no ancient object nor ancient text linking Britons to the name "Celts". On the other hand Iberia is littered with ancient tombstones with exactly that name followed by various different suffixes, all native and all shared with Lusitanian. They are actually all found in Lusitania, the place that academics love to tell us "was not Celtic". However you may read Hübner and learn that they were wrong.
