“Great Britain and England are not the same thing. Nor is the ‘United Kingdom’ and England or ‘Britain’ and England.”

Isn’t that what I said to the guy?

Nope.

You said Great Britain is part of the UK. Great Britain is a state made up of England, Wales and Scotland. The UK is also a state made up of the 3 plus NI.

So you cant say Great Britain is part of the UK, as they are both designations pertaining to a state made up of sovereign nations, in one case 3, in another 4.

‘Great Britain is part of the UK’ dosent make sense.
