He's dead, so I can't agree with you.
However, I believe you're right - England hasn't been invaded since 1066
apart from William of Orange, and that was by invitation.
However, England isn't Britain, England has invaded other parts of Britain
at various times (and not been very nice either)
And the most recent part of the British Isles to be invaded was the Channel
Islands during the Second World War.
[But they aren't part of the United Kingdom, even though they have postcodes]
