The UK is not England
England is not the UK
@Indyposterboy Great Britain & Northern Ireland, and being British. That’s also a good topic to mull over.
@Indyposterboy @guardeddon we are not in the British Isles.
@Antiqueight @guardeddon If by we you mean Ireland, then the consensus appears to be that you are wrong.
@Indyposterboy @Antiqueight @guardeddon The argument over the correct name for the whole north-west European archipelago is longstanding.

@guardeddon This'll do it.
