The Difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England Explained
suddenly i ...
suddenly i understand that joke from Men in Tights about that hired killer being from Jersey... i'm also shamefully reminded that i first learned Wales was a country my senior year of high school ^_^'
I know. Re-read my ...
I know. Re-read my post. It's about the passport issue.
If you were my ...
If you were my history teacher, I would've ACED it.
no, some think the ...
no, some think the relationship is very important.
Or Eire. It's ...
Or Eire. It's referred to as the Republic of Ireland to separate it from the Kingdom and to separate from the north in sports. Namely football.
Actually, the ...
Actually, the official name of the Republic of Ireland is simply 'Ireland'. So, yes, Ireland is a country, and not just a geographical term.
You learnt about ...
You learnt about Cows in History? Can tell your lot are Irish..... (this is a Youtube disclaimer, I'm joking)
Awesome!
Awesome!

My brain... it hurts now...
Holy shit " ...
Holy shit "guernsey and jernsey"? sounds like comic relief set of twins on a TV show! Also, the British Antarctic Territory is a thing?
England doesn't ...
England doesn't have its own parliament because it treats the British one as its own personal one; that's why devolution happened. You stupid foreign fuck.
Does America really ...
Does America really think 'meh' when the English say 'bff'?
Also Northern Irish ...
Also Northern Irish players can also choose to play for the Republic of Ireland national team rather than the Northern Ireland team since they're entitled to Irish citizenship and therefore...
As someone already ...
As someone already said, in Northern Ireland we can choose between a British and Irish passport, and therefore which nationality we identify with. The history between Britain and N.I is a bloody, messy one that still continues to this day.
Rule Britannia...

"You can't have ...
"You can't have gone to school in the English-speaking world without knowing the English empire... etc." Er... I did, actually. Here in Australia, my teachers thought it more important to teach us about how cows digest their food than history. No one in the class lived in the country nor had much experience with cows so I'm not sure why it was more important than history o.O
Yeah - you're right ...
Yeah - you're right - what of it - shouldn't have allowed a stupid comment to nark me. England - real Brit - English, Scots, Welsh & Irish Blood. Together with the bloodlines left by the many & varied races that conquered Britain throughout the centuries. I love my Country - I love the UK.
So true
So true
Everybody talks ...
Everybody talks shit about each other. It happens. But I'm proud of my country and even though I don't know where you're from I'm guessing it has its faults as well. Where you from bro? Bet people call you names too. Doesn't matter.
You aren't ...
You aren't seriously asking for a response to that question.....? You could, I suppose- call yourselves what others call you. I doubt that you'd want to, though.
How short is your ...
How short is your memory haha Do you not remember your comment directly prior to what you just said? The one where you said that even though the Northern Irish are not on the island of Britain, they are still "British"? And now you make the opposite side of the same argument immediately after by saying since Hawaii isn't on the continent that since we added them in the 20th century as a state we should have immediately changed our demonym! Not sure you're worth debating bro
in other words; the ...
in other words; the UK is awesome!

well what about ...
well what about Hawaiians then? I do believe Hawaii isn't in the continent of america and is in fact 2387 from the west coast, yet they are called "Americans", so I think the United States of AMERICA should change its name to something more appropriate to its current geography.
