Of course there are some minor differences between people across the planet, with melanin concentration in the skin being the most obvious.

That has absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with us almost all being immigrants.

U can tell the difference between a "native" brit (please accept they exist in some way but obviously not 100%) and a native spaniard. we have changed to our surroundings

Aside from linguistic differences and changes in melanin production presumably down to epigenetics, both of which are not necessarily permanent, how are we different?
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

Britannia came from the Brythonic word Pritani. The Irish called the Picts Cruithini, which is almost certainly a cognate (Gaelic Q/C is Brythonic P).

It makes more sense to suggest that the Picts were essentially the Ancient Britons who were not conquered by the Romans, than to suggest that the Picts were a distinct nation beforehand and that the Romans conveniently just stopped where the border between them and the Ancient Britons was (not least since the Romans advanced further at least once during their stay).

I think that concludes that point :P

Hair colour, eye colour, some facial features such as shapes of eyes, shape of lips etc. its all adapted to suit an environment. Its evolution. a famous example are the long toed people of st.kilda who adapted to scale the cliffs of the island

We dont produce enough tax to upkeep our current position. we pay 9.6% uk tax, we recieve 10.8%. North sea oil will run out in a matter of a few decades and we cannot compete with the arabic states. We wouldnt have the NHS or BBC. We would lose all our nuclear warheads and a lot of the military. No UN secrurity council seat or GBP

The fact that you assert your authority over the English. We are the ones who should control your country. Now kneel.

According to which culturally-constructed racial continuum?

Those people who are telling you that "race" has no basis in biology? They're right. "Race" is purely a culturally-constructed identity, and two groups that may be considered distinct races in one culturally-constructed conception of race, may be considered the same race in another, or vice-versa.

And your point is...?

That you can't just make an absolute statement that the Picts were distinct racially from the Britons. Such a statement can be true only in the context of a specific constructed race continuum (which you haven't bothered to state), and in the context of other continuua it may be patently false.

No, since then you're assuming that most Scots are descended from the Scotii. This is probably not true, and the Picts most likely assimilated into the Scotii's Gaelic language, culture and identity. The Kingdom of Alba then expanded in the tenth and eleventh centuries beyond the Forth and Clyde to something approaching Scotland's modern borders, thus taking in the Welsh of the SW and the Anglo-Saxons of the SE. The Welsh were soon assimilated into the Gaelic and Anglo-Saxon cultures, and ever since the fourteenth century the Anglo-Saxons have slowly assimilated the Gaelic-speakers (by the fifteenth century the Anglo-Saxons called themselves 'Scots', and the Gaelic-speakers the 'Irish' or 'Erse').
