Wooot!!! *switches TV over*
British, always British. The island we live on is called Great Britain and it is one nation.
Great Britain should never be split up. The UK (which includes northern Ireland as well as Great Britain) is a different matter – N.Ireland should remain in the UK while the majority of its population wish to stay. If the majority wish to join with Eire, that wish should be granted.I am very patriotic to Britain as a place, although I would like to see the monarchy abolished!
My ancestry is English, Welsh and Irish, both catholic and protestant (Scots-Irish).
I am Scottish By birth. which makes me part of a greater parcel in life. It depends who one is talking to in life.
the first thing i ever learnt in Spanish etc was how to tell them im a Scotish lassie.
Yo Soy y Escosesa ! it helps :)
I am Welsh! Have never or will ever class myself as British.
What is there to be proud of being British? :?

Sorry… seems I’m a tad confused here :roll:
Correct me if I’m wrong (and please note that I may well be), but is it your stance that any current or prospective devolved rights, or even Sovereign Independence issues regarding Scotland, England and Wales differ from Northern Ireland due to the first three being part of the Island of Great Britain?
If so, I find that most peculiar I must say :roll:Surely the crucial principle of consent applied to Northern Ireland must apply to the other three “parts” of the United Kingdom?
Or do you view Northern Ireland as a somewhat lesser component of the mix?
You state that it is the Island of Great Britain that implies Britishness.. and the UK “is a different matter”, which perhaps, is true from a certain geographical and semantic position – ie The Kingdom Of Great Britain and Northern Ireland gig..BUT.. in the context of what you (quite rightly) state regarding the consent issue of Northern Ireland, your “Great Britain should never be split up.” pronouncement troubles me. For it would seem you draw the line at consent regarding separation / Independence when it comes to Scotland, Wales or (the most unlikely event of) England?
Am I wrong to theorise such a thing, or was the suspected disallowance merely a silly omission on your part?
