Hopefully you'll not be needing your flameproof jacket.
I can only speak for myself but I guess that most people here are appalled by the BNP latching onto something we really love.

As for "Is there any proof that magalithic man was particualrly open to foreigners, or that there was mass migration at the time?"
There is a lot of evidence to show that Our islands and the mainland of Europe maintained good communications and maintained a sophisticated trade network.
As for migrations, I don't really know. People had to get here somehow, so we all originally came from somewhere else. It's just a case of some of us arrived a little later than others.
We know that there are certain common threads in British, Irish & European prehistory, threads that extend well past the borders of Europe, which would also imply that good communications were being maintained between our island and continental Europe.

Of course there was no real notion of Englishness until around the time of Alfred.
