Not really that bothered whether he's described as Irish/Anglo Irish/ UK et etc

QuoteWilde was an Irish subject of the UK. Therefore he was both Irish and British.

I've seen a lot of shite posted on the UK/Irish/political threads but this one takes the biscuit altogether. I'm sure my grandfather and his colleagues would have been only too delighted to be told that they were British :o

Your Irish Grandfather no doubt rejected the notion of his being British. However, my Irish grandfather, Connaught-born and bred, embraced his Britishness. Just as my grandmother, Munster-born and bred, did the same. When they met and married in Ulster, they continued to be Irish and British, which was what they were when they died (by this time in Northern Ireland).

You may not like or agree with it, but it is possible to be Irish (nowadays Northern Irish) and British at the same time.

Nothing more irksome than a pedantic west brit

Other, perhaps, than someone who has nothing to say. And says it anyhow.  ::)

My grandfather wasn't British, period. Nothing to reject, the question doesn't arise. The fact that the British occupied the country doesn't make him British any more than the Germans occupying Yugoslavia made Tito a German.

I suppose you can be Irish and British at the same time, just as you can be Irish and French at the same time. However you are noty British as English and Welsh people are, these are intrinsically British, they don't just declare themselves British.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B
