minus-squareEvia@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·10 months agoEh, we don’t really use Britain. UK is more inclusive
minus-squareMr_Blott@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoYou say “we” but there are an awful, awful lot of people in NI who would disagree with you
minus-squareEvia@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoWell certainly but the Brits tend to ignore that part of the UK - it’s a little uncomfortable so we just pretend that NI doesn’t exist
minus-squared00ery@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-210 months agoIf UK is short for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, wouldn’t UK be inclusive of NI? As someone who is a UK national I did have to google this as I never remember the differences between GB / UK. Ahh, on rereading perhaps you’re talking about NI people who don’t want to be part of the UK!
