Great Britain = The island consisting of England, Scotland, and Wales.
The United Kingdom = Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The British Isles = Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Ireland, and those islands to the North of the coast of France.

When did Ireland leave? Maybe this could be because of a more modern diplomatic time period?

Point was that MUCH of Ireland wanted to bugger out of British Empire control n that just did not work out so good.
Did a bit of research re the current Scotland issue. One problem 4 brits is Scotland hosts a mass of Nukes. British say they have no good place to place Nukes if Scotland buggers out.

I have no clue why. I did look up cash flow to see where the money goes and England tax money goes more in2 Scotland then out.
As long as they don't mess with my Single Malt Scotch's and don't force Haggis on me - I don't care EXCEPT still wonder Y they get to vote and then the Irish who were invaded by Brits for almost 4ever with Military on their ass's did not get to vote to split from England.

Scotland hates the English people, being British I can understand their concerns. If they want indepence let them. They already have a minumum price for alcohol lol; Tesco Value Cider is like £3.50 there.
