      Channel 4 are epic. Always wondering if BBC or ITV would've made things like Queer as Folk, Skins or It's A Sin? Even things like Hollyoaks touched topics that I don't believe have ever been touched by the big two soaps.
      Their documentaries are also brilliant. A completely different UK to the one that BBC like to show.

      @@lsamoa So your point is that because the whole island is referred to as Ireland (geographically), therefore it is - and all the same? How many countries are in the United Kingdom? How is Scotland different than England?- it's on the same island.

      @@dj3114 So according to you Northern Ireland is in Britain because Scotland is? lol. Geography not your strong suit is it. There's no debate to be had around this, love. Ireland is not Britain, and Northern Ireland is not in Britain. End of. The UK is called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Notice how Northern Ireland is not included in Great Britain. Because it 👏is👏not👏in👏Britain. Do we need to draw you a map??
