>he said britain, not great britain (which is the island). the irish are britons.
Britain is the same thing as Great Britain. It just means the island of Britain. The Irish are not British. They are Irish. Britain and Ireland are two different islands. They are all collectively known as "The British Isles" however. Great Britain is officially used in contect of the Great British Empire, but now its just the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

>> No.13259623

are you joking?

>>13259060
the irish are british (hence part of the british isles), obviously that's sometimes in dispute, but as the poet r graves said 'well, dispute it then'. britain can be used to refer to the island group. the term great britain (britannia major) came about to distinguish the island from britannia minor (ireland).
