The term 'British Isles' was only coined in 1577 by John Dee.
Also, the northernmost point in Ireland is in County Donegal.

Ulster is full of Scottish Protestants.

[spoiler]The term "Great Britain" is actually a translation of "Grande Bretagne". Britain is called "large" as opposed to regular Bretagne, which is Brittany in France.
>>872656
It's still United, It's still technically a Kingdom (it's a constitutional monarchy) It's literally Great Britain because it's the Greater version of Brittany and Northern Ireland is North of Ireland.

Great refers to that fact is geographically greater in size than Brittany you fucking pleb. It fits the technical definition of a kingdom too. And although it may on the verge of falling apart legally it is still a union.

We're smarter than /tv/, we just need more time to find something we can safely invest in like /tv/ has with baneposting. This has to be something cost effecient that will save the board a lot of suffering and also be something we can subtly drop into threads along with our posts.

Nigga, they allowed 16 years old and England-inhabiting Scots to vote since it increased their chances according to polls and still didn't do shit.
>>881350
They actually allowed English people living in Scotland and other immigrants to vote, which is why it didn't pass.
>>872656

It is united.
>Kingdom
The head of the state is a king/queen
>Great
Doesn't refer to political/militaristic etc greatness

Great Britain is the island which houses the countries of Scotland, England and Wales. Ireland is not a part of it.
>Ulster is full of Scottish Protestants.
what
>>881322
Continents aren't islands you fucking retard. Islands are tautologically smaller than continental land masses.
From the new world encylopedia:
>An island or isle is a tract of land that is completely surrounded by water, above high tide, and isolated from other significant landmasses, yet is not large enough to be called a continent.
From collins dictionary
>a mass of land that is surrounded by water and is smaller than a continent
>>880044
There are tens of thousands of islands in the world and Great Britain is larger than 99.99% of them, and even among the largest islands it's in the top percentile. It's not a zero-sum game, Donald
