    The full name is The United Kingdom of Great Brittain and Northern Ireland. Souece

    So the UK includes the north of Ireland but great Brittain does not.

      Great Britain is the name of the big island in the British Isles. Northern Ireland is a smallish part of the second-biggest island.

      Correct.

      It’s also worth knowing that both Britain and the island of Ireland are both part of the British isles - just to further confuse the situation.

        So for me the UK and GB are the same, as I personally do not recognize their annexed land in the north of Ireland.

          But you recognise the annexed land of Wales and Scotland? Interesting.

          I suppose we all draw arbitrary lines somewhere.

            Not really, I do recognize their independant states. However, Scotland did vote to stay, although after brexit they would have voted differently, which they aren’t allowed to do.

              So if the unionists outnumber the republicans you’d then be ok with Northern Ireland remaining in “Britain”? The will of the inhabitants and all that.

                I’m done with defending against you assuming things I didn’t say.

                Let me be clear: fuck monarchies, fuck religion, fuck oppression, fuck violence, fuck borders and countries in general, and fuck this dystopian hell hole we’re living in. Now let me enjoy my Sunday morning coffee in peace please. Fuck.

                  Easy tiger. Just asking questions, as opposed to making statements, to better understand your position.

                  Enjoy your Sunday coffee.
