The Difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England Explained

C.G.P.Grey attempts to explain the complexities that exist when attempting to define *What* the British Isles means. He's a speed-Talker, so if you have difficulty listening to his monolog, my apologies.

If you desire both British and Irish citizenship for your children, have them born in Northern Ireland.

"...it is the birthright of all the people of Northern Ireland to identify themselves and be accepted as Irish or British, or both, as they may so choose, and accordingly [the two governments] confirm that their right to hold both British and Irish citizenship is accepted by both Governments and would not be affected by any future change in the status of Northern Ireland."

Northern Ireland was only created to cause strife among Irish while Rothschild and his Jew buddies continue to plunder her natural resources
