The people of Northern Ireland *are* British.Wanderer wrote:
Northern Ireland isn't part of Britain but is part of the British Isles, but they consider themselves British, religion and politics apart.
Unless the context otherwise indicates, the term "British" generally refers to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, together with its Dependencies and Territories.So, I find it hard to find evidence of a Country called 'Britain' and therefore a Nationality to match called 'British'. I think 'British' is really 'United Kingdomian'!
