English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish people who call themselves British

Can't say I know anyone who refers to themselves as 'Northern Irish'

Do British people in Scotland, England and Wales actually care about Brits in NI?

Can't say I know anyone who refers to themselves as 'Northern Irish'

Hi,

I am one of those people.

I'm English technically - but always, and quite fervently refer to myself as British.

I am proud of our "unity" and I think it gives us strength, further it's more internationally recognisable and I think it's fair to say the rest of the world groups us as one anyway.

Why are we so sectarian? We're a brilliant collective, and how much sense does it make to divide an already tiny island up even more anyway? I love the Welsh, Scottish and Irish as much as the English - the distinction is practically void. The very little cultural differences we have is what makes our proximity so valueable.

Anyone else feel the same?

What about as Irish?

Not on friendly terms? What a load of tosh!

Do you not see the point in Spain either? What about Germany or Italy?

The United Kingdom is not something that can be broken up at the drop of a hat, you know. We are one country, just like any other. As for your comment on Wales, the Welsh language is not dying. It's actually growing. Not that I support independence or anything...

Does sort of shatter this illusion of "unity" does it not?

I do yes, because I want to visit NE and SE Ireland one day.

I'm an Athiest, and the whole charade is pretty tradicaly comical to me - comical in the sense that I do HONESTLY wonder what these people are actualy fighting over. It's not even oil, it's some long forgoton, bitter religious bull.

I think you've got your terms mixed up as "most populated" refers to the size of the population (but not in relation to the area of the land) to which we wouldn't be anywhere near third anyway (China is the most populated country followed by India and the USA which is third). I think you meant population density where the UK is actually 51st in the world for being the most densely populated. I do think we are quite densely populated but we aren't that bad compared to other developed countries like Japan, the Netherlands and Belgium though.

No.

I consider it a genuine shame that we (The mighty English) don't go it alone.

I've heard only people identify themselves as Irish or British. Anyone on here call themselves Northern Irish???

Do us all a favour and walk around with a megaphone yelling, "long live the Queen". I give you 2 minutes.

I enjoy making Scottish, and generally 'northerner' jokes (I am from London), but identify myself as British and this it would be stupid if the Welsh, English and Scottish couldn't stick together. I mean we have been together for 150 years, our polics have always been pretty intertwined, and seems pointless to divide us.
The Northern Irish... well I don't mind them tagging along, but would seem less trouble if they were just part of Ireland though :P

********, the Scottish are clearly superior.

Are you for ******** real?!? I don't want to get all serious on your ass at this time of the night but your comment shows absolutly no understanding of the political situation in Northern Ireland and believe me, Irish re-unification what not be 'less trouble' in any way shape or form. If you had any knowledge of Irish history or first hand experience of the bloodshed that has stained our land (which was largely down to the English anyway) for the past few centuries you would not make such an ignorant, ill-informed offensive comment. Your ignorance truly astounds me.
But that's all I would expect from an Englishman anyway, especially one from London. There. How's that for a sweeping generalisation?

An accurate one?
