The British 'Celts' are really just seperated Germanics? Agree or Not?

[Bellbeaking]

Iron age pre-saxon british samples all look like this.


They are not similar to any 'Celtic' populations in Europe. The only western population these people are similar to are the Bretons, who are descendants of Brits.

British Celts are fake Celts

Real Celts are the Swiss, Austrians, French and Bavarians

[Peterski]

Define "Celtic populations in Europe"?

British Celts are mostly celticized Bell Beakers.

This map is for Viking Age Sigtuna (average of ~20 samples):

This supports the hypothesis in the OP, no?

And those are swedish samples, danish samples would be much closer

I don't think so. Hinxton-1 had 70-something similarity to Scandinavia as you can see in that map.

70-something is about the same as similarity of Russians to Latvians etc., yet you don't see people claiming that Balts = Slavs, right?

But there are Celtic samples with lower similarity to Scandinavia, for example this one had lower:

Or this one (this one has much more "continental Celtic" results, also his Y-DNA was R1b-U152):

[Peterski]

Modern Lithuanians and Latvians have over 80-something similarity to Russians, even though one group are Balts and the other one are Slavs (and if you tell to a Latvian "you are just a Russian with a weird language and a Protestant religion", you will probably get your face punched):

This guy is Eastern German (full genealogy can be found on his website), but a very Slavic-shifted one:
