Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales.
Northern Ireland is UK, but not GB.
So, Brits are not english, they're British. But they can be English too, but likewise they could also be Welsh or Scots.

Yours was the latest in a line of comments that implied that Brits could only be English. Seemed easiest to reply here.

Whether I don't understand how replies work, or just can't be arsed to use the system properly remains to be seen. What I don't understand though, is how != equals a negative association rather than a positive. I do have plenty to learn.

In programming languages, '!=' means 'does not equal', whereas '=' or '==' means 'equals'. To be fair, assuming someone's an idiot for misunderstanding fairly esoteric terms which have no direct relevance to the matter in hand is a bit of a dick-move.
