Because the biggest island in the British Isles is Great Britain and Northern Ireland is on Ireland, but is politically separate from the Republic of Ireland and there's no separate term for someone from the UK basically.

I'm guessing British came into use between the union of the crowns of Scotland and England in 1603 and the 1800 Act of Union that created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

Northern Ireland is pretty much as politically separate from the rest of the UK as the Republic.

They don't have the same parties, differ on many laws, still not so much dogwhistle as foghorn their sectarian shite and the parties allied to the theoretically credible British-not-Bradish ones are dead.

The DUP might have 10 MPs in the house of commons, but so what?, if Varadkar offered the PM 10 thatcherite Fine Gael men for a billion quid, she might go for it.

Mr Farron also said he had been right to step down immediately after the election, in which the party did not make as much ground as it had hoped, saying he found himself in a situation where "either I let the party down or I compromised my faith".

In true lib-dem fashion, he failed both.

When we were checking the company history of a few contracters when comparing quotes we decided against the one who had put down "White English" as their nationality on their company formation documents.

Speaking on Channel 5’s The Wright Stuff, Mr Farage: “What is for certain is that the Cleggs, the Blairs, the Adonises will never, ever, ever give up.

“They will go on whinging and whining and moaning all the way through this process.

“So maybe – just maybe – I’m reaching the point of thinking that we should have a second referendum on EU membership.”

i can appreciate the Liberalism inherent in simultaneously believing gay sex to be morally wrong while opposing any legislation discouraging it but it's kind of a bad fit for the party that's trying to be the socially liberal fiscally conservative-ish third party
