Actually, in regard for Britain, it would make sense. Most of the Celtic tribes we can link to the mainland are found on the East coast (including the Brigantes and the Parisii relatively far in the north), which matches the distribution of U152 in britain.
So do you think we're comfortable calling Welsh people "native Goidelic peoples who picked up P-Celtic from their Eastern neighbors"?
Cornwall is traditionally P-Celtic as well but has higher R1b-U152, so we probably can't say quite the same thing for them, although they also have a ton of R1b-L21.
Or is P-Celtic earlier?
