Ireland, Wales, Cornwall and Scotland should be granted full independence and England should be divided up in several smaller countries all under a peacekeeping force.

Something like that. Except it seems like a lot of indigenous british women willingly married anglo saxon men.
The upper classes it seems were pure anglo saxons
Followed by a middle class of mixed anglo and celtic heritage
On the bottom rung were pure natives who couldn’t speak any English and were still culturally brythonic.
Kind of like Spain in Latin America for example with its caste system.
White Englishmen today are basically “mestizos” of celtic and germanic people lol.
Which is super ironic
On that train of thought, you should look into the Ostmen, the Norse who settled in Ireland. Many became Celtic rather than making Ireland successfully Nordic to the point that those who remained in their secluded cutouts like Dublin long after the Viking Age was over just stayed in separate parts of the city. Archeological evidence shows they built special quarters and didn’t integrate, which carried over to later place names in Dublin. The British actually let them stay when they eventually conquered Dublin.
It is wikipedia I know, but it is a succinct statement
The larger influence was arguably the spread of Irish genes to Scandinavia due to captured and willing brides of Norsemen who brought them home.
