Made me think of the old story that during the last stages of the ancient regime some of the aristocrats tried to claim their right to rule was inherit because they were a different people, i.e. the Germanic Franks who had conquered Gaul after the collapse of the Roman empire. Which of course quickly earned the response "well go back to Germany then" - where go may have been expressed in rather more fruitful terms. ;)
