`  :: But that British Isles = British equation is precisely the only conclusion to this article. If I live in Derry, I am a Derryman, if I live in Ireland, I am Irish, in Europe, I am European. If people accept the insistence of British nationalists that Ireland is in an entity they are calling the ``British Isles`` the only logical conclusion is that I am ``British``. That's not going to happen. It is illogical to say I am not British if you say I am in the entity you are naming the ``British Isles``. PS I accept the 'Beyond the Pale`` comment with the greatest pride, and would believe my ``Get your grubby hands off my country's name`` attitude to this article is part of the finest historical tradition of all, a tradition from the glens of Wicklow in 1580 to Cath Chéim an Fhia in 1822 to the Bogside in 1969 which I am speechless with pride about. The British will never take my Irishness and impose the shame of their name on me.   `
