Last night on GB-PAC on X, Claire Bullivant and Ben Habib spoke at some length on how GB-PAC is inclusive of Northern Ireland.and yet the name of the group excludes Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland is still British and they are great. It’s as in these Great British Islands not Great Britain. We are the Great British PAC for Brits everywhere. Kind Regards, Claire

People born in Northern Ireland are generally considered British. However, such individuals can choose to identify as Irish, British, or both, and have the right to hold both British and Irish citizenship.
If GB PAC stood for Great Britain PAC, I would agree it’s not inclusive. But its stands for Great British PAC, which acknowledges that all people in Great Britain and Northern Ireland are British.

My suggestion was slightly tongue in cheek, so I totally accept your extremely well-considered responses.
However, while on the topic of last nights programme, 90% of it was excellent and allowing for it being a phone-in event, 90% is as good as it gets. BUT, I only found out about it because a friend of mine from R***** told me. I’m sure it is promoted on X and Facebook, (which I tend to stay off) but perhaps a mention on here would be useful. However, I shall be listening next week and I will have a working microphone this time.

Perhaps “British PAC” is the best name? After all, small c conservatives in the Irish Republic could benefit from participation in this as well. Considering our co-mingled legal status, shared culture, and economic partnerships. It might help us to help them.

Maybe GB-PAC should take an official policy position that our Irish brothers and sisters rejoin us in full and real union under the crown-in-Parliament so that they may be free from the tyrannies of republicanism and enjoy the freedoms and rights granted to every fellow Briton by right of the inheritance of this great land.
: ) Its not as ridiculous a notion as you make it sound. Globalist/Marxists ensconced in Dublin make life harder for us to reform/rehabilitate our relationship with our neighbours. We are trapped in this unsatisfactory ECHR/Quasi-independent Brexit compromise, primarily as a result of the Good Friday Agreement. If we want to extricate from that we need to come to acceptable and friendly terms with the Irish. That will not happen if they are lead by Marxists or Marxist adjacent Globalists.
