I applaud your rebuttal to the ignorant maunderings of Mr. King. But I was shocked by the assertion that "Celts in Britain were painting themselves blue and doing hunting and gathering in the wastes." European hunter/gatherers lived long before Celts(who are Indo-european) arrived. Also, the implication that hunter/gatherers are some lower, loutish life form is incorrect. And as for Celtic culture; it had superior metalurgy, craftmanship, agricultural technology, medicine, astronomy, and legal structure than the Romans. See The Ancient World of the Celts by Peter Berresford Ellis to get a good overview.
