There is no proof to support this theory.

In 1066 when my ancestors left France and came to Britain, they left Europe and they forged a new identity, a new set of ideas, a new culture and a new nation. I accept that we should work together for the common good, however we should not compromise our seperate identities and our different ways for the sake of some ridiculous notion that because our forefathers spoke the same language one thousand years ago we should be part of some superstate.

In fact, in 1066 only the royal family, its environment and troops moved from France to Britain, and it is unlikely that you are their descendants. In fact, the Angles moved to the British Isles in the 6th-7th centuries, and the Norman conquest had little effect on "national identity", although it changed the language and culture quite a lot.
