You are the one who is confused.
Can you define British DNA.?

No. Can you?
I could have a go:
British DNA is difficult to describe because it depends on what you include as British.
Brtish as a whole, or the various different regions of the British Isles.
You need to be far more precise as to what you consider British DNA.
I think the latest various regions number more than 150.
It also depends on access to source DNA to test against.
It has nothing to do with your genealogy,
This is so wrong that I doubt it is serious.

So nothing to do with it at all ?

Just to check, do you speak any foreign languages? Which?
He speaks Germanic.
Allow me to explain.
If someone said the average Brit had 30% Germanic DNA, many people, probably including you, wouldn't have a clue what they were talking about.
So they use the term German.
As Vinty said, although he wasn't particularly accurate, Germany didn 't exist until about 950 AD, I think.
Whereas Germanic referred to a much wider region dating from pre-Roman times, which icluded most of Northen Europe, and perhaps parts of Turkey and Asia.
JohnD first used the more accurate, but less well-known term as an explanation for Vinty.
If you read the whole thread, you might understand the flow of comments better.
Just as an aside, why do you sign-off as Bellend? Is that your real name?

John was being patronising as is often the case.
My comment has been removed and here we are.
Roy has become a self appointed forum busy body. Thank you, that’s what we need in the GD.

Your observation of my actions have been noted. I'll try to kep up the good work.
Or descendants of.
Germany didn't become a nation state until 1871.Germanic languages existed well before your comment about when Germany was established. Germanic refers to pre-Roman times.
You claimed that Germany only existed since 1871.
That's nonsense.
When Did Germany Become a Country?
Germany as we know it today technically dates back to the year 962 AD. However, the country's origin is more complicated than that.www.worldatlas.com
The 'average Brit' doesn't have 30% Germanic DNA.
Maybe Southern England .
Britain is made up of different ethnic groups .
Have a look at a genetic map of the British Isles.
50% DNA from each parent means 25% DNA from each grandparent.
So if you claim everyone in Britain is 30% German, then everyone should have close German relatives.

Who claims that?
According to Roy Bloom.
Every white Brit has 30% German DNA .
I pointed out that ethnic DNA is not evenly distributed throughout the British Isles .
Maybe Southern or Eastern England could have relatively high levels of so called Germanic DNA but in other areas it could be virtually non existent.
