Orkney, Western Isles, Isle of Man and all the rest aren't on Great Britain.

True.

Here's an easy sentence.

The two main islands of the British Isles are, The Island of Great Britain and the Island of Ireland.

So to be clear, the island of Ireland is part of the British Isles.

Perhaps, but the term "British Isles" was coined by British supremacists as they built their Empire.

We're taught here that it's purely a geographical term but is it feck. It's a loaded political name coined by the British state. If I were Irish I'd not be using it.

Yep, those Romans were big British supremacists :huh:
