PS Sam- The Northern Irish aren't "Brits". Quite clearly your knowledge of geography is as poor as your knowledge of politics. Great Britain is the Island which comprises Scotland, England and Wales. It was called Great Britain following the Acts of Union in order to distinguish it from Brittany, in northern France. That's why it's called the "United Kingdom Of Great Btritain and Northern Ireland". Northern Irish people have never been, are not and never will be "Brits", at least from a geographical perspective.
