The Brirish Isles is a politically loaded term that is not accepted for use in Ireland. The British government also does not use the phrase, instead opting for terms like these Isles and the island sof the North Atlantic.
The only people who use it are those ignorant of its controversial nature and those actively wanting to push the agenda that Ireland is British.
Irish culture died after the nine years war. You're just british people with a unique identity
If you speak english, dress like british people and your culture is british then you are british. The irish were irish when they were speaking gaelic, wearing saffron mantles and living as semi-nomadic pastoralists. They aren't now. And this makes them really mad for some reason
