Why is it that the Irish have the terrible habit of referring to the island of Britain as 'England'. I have had to change two such references in this article. Dominic Behan, who was as much a Scottish nationalist as an Irish one, would have been affronted by these references. He did not emigrate to 'England', but to Scotland. Of all peoples on this earth, the Irish should be able to show more respect and sensitivity. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/94.193.240.11|94.193.240.11]] ([[User talk:94.193.240.11|talk]]) 02:10, 8 April 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Dominic Behan was Brendan Behan's brother, and vice versa. There is no such wisdom imparted on either brother's page. I hereby rectify that.

'England'

Why is it that the Irish have the terrible habit of referring to the island of Britain as 'England'. I have had to change two such references in this article. Dominic Behan, who was as much a Scottish nationalist as an Irish one, would have been affronted by these references. He did not emigrate to 'England', but to Scotland. Of all peoples on this earth, the Irish should be able to show more respect and sensitivity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.193.240.11 (talk) 02:10, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
