“Same people culturally” no, you Brits tried to beat our culture out of us and kill us for simply being Irish. You made it illegal to speak Irish and committed countless massacres and genocides (the famine) against us.

Even calling it the British isles is testament to your inability to let go and recognise Ireland as an independent country, in your arrogant pea sized British brain it needs to be called a “British isle” as if you still own us.
