'1000 years' Paramount?
You mean since 1019?
Ah yes, I remember it well.
1019:
Half the population spoke Old Norse. There was a Danish king on the throne of England.
In Scotland, the Gaels (from Ireland) were still ethnically cleansing the Picts, and shared the country with another lot of Norsemen.
In Wales the various Welsh kingdoms were fighting among themselves.
And for most of that thousand years most of us didn't have a vote anyway - what price sovereignty?
Please learn a bit of history before quoting it as if it meant anything.

Hm, yes, the Vikings... No such ambitions at all. And no pillaging etc. either.
