@JohnKobaRuddy Anyone born in the British isles is considered British if they chose to be, including the Irish. Just as we are all European too.

@JohnKobaRuddy The island of Ireland is the second largest of the 6,000 islands that make up the British isles which lie just off the coast of the European continent. Therefore, anyone living in any of the 4 countries on these islands can claim their nationality, their island location or their continent as their place of residence. So in theory a Dubliner could claim to be British just as many Irishman in the past did. However, today due to Nationalist bigotry it's no longer acceptable. Judging by your last remark, I suspect you fall under this description.

 @JohnKobaRuddy The Irish live in the British isles so they are as British as the English, Scots and Welsh.
