Ever listen to George Gordon? You might find him informative.
Words mean things, but they mean different things to different people, at different times and places.
For me, when I read

I see contradiction. Its like saying, "I am Anglo Celtic but I am not Saxon or Gaelic" um OK- just that to my ears it's confusing.
I am not talking about 'status', where ones yeas and nays are paramount.
One of my passions is history and anthropology (I like observing people), so from that point of view "Anglo Celtic" is Judeo Christian: its not Slavic, or Turkic, or Middle Eastern, or Chinese, or Mediterranean. The history of the Western Fringe is entirely traceable to the Hebrews of the Bible and Ancient Phoenicia/Israel
(I didn't say "exclusively")
Here is only a minor example:
Scottish Declaration of Arbroath 1320 CE:

The Text
We know and from the chronicles and books of the ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has been graced with widespread renown.
They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous.
Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today.
The Britons they first drove out, the Picts they utterly destroyed, and, even though very often assailed by the Norwegians, the Danes and the English, they took possession of that home with many victories and untold efforts; and, as the historians of old time bear witness, they have held it free of all bondage ever since.
In their kingdom there have reigned one hundred and thirteen kings of their own royal stock, the line unbroken a single foreigner."

"Greater Scythia" is around the Black Sea- right where the Bible records the movement of the 'lost 10 tribes'
I mean, "Galilee"= Gaelic = Gaul= Galatian= Galician...
Apparently these 'Scots' found it relevant to mark their history by the history of Israel in the Bible. What were they thinking!?
Why are so many of the early Christian writings addressed DIRECTLY to ancient Celtic and Germanic peoples, identifying them as "our estranged brethren scattered abroad" (yes I can cite that if asked)
Jesus told his disciples "Go ONLY to the lost House of Israel". Take it or leave it, but do***ented history shows that the first 12 apostles went STRAIGHT, without hesitation, like they knew EXACTLY where they needed to go: to these same Celtic and Germanic folks.
Looks like a duck...
