Bristolhibby Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 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.

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

adamntg Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Yep, those Romans were big British supremacists The term wasn't used for over a thousand years until English writers starting using it in th 16th and 17th centuries for political and propaganda purposes. So says the Internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
