You say "we" but there are an awful, awful lot of people in NI who would disagree with you

If UK is short for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, wouldn't UK be inclusive of NI?

As someone who is a UK national I did have to google this as I never remember the differences between GB / UK.

Ahh, on rereading perhaps you're talking about NI people who don't want to be part of the UK!

Well certainly but the Brits tend to ignore that part of the UK - it's a little uncomfortable so we just pretend that NI doesn't exist
