If someone is British, then are they English too, and vice versa?

Question

Do these mean the same thing or is one more inclusive than the other?

Answer 1

Britain is made up of England, Scotland,Wales and Northern Ireland.
So if someone is English then they are also British but if you are British you are not necesarily English (you could be Sottish, Welsh etc).

Answer 2

From England, you're English and British. Unless you're Cornish, in which case you're Cornish, English and British.
From Scotland, Scottish and British.
From Wales, Welsh and British.
From Northern Ireland - Irish and, probably only if you're Protestant, British, too.
From Southern Ireland, Irish.
From the Isle of Man, Manx.

Answer 3

Try going to Scotland & calling someone English, then you will get your answer (LOL)!

Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish & English all hold British passports, so technically we are all British.

Answer 4

No . British includes English Scottish and Welsh.
But if they are English they are also British

Answer 5

I believe it's different. my understanding is that Britain is the empire of like ireland scotland and other places around there so if you were English you would be British but if you were Scottish you would be British and Scottish.

If that makes sense - I could be wrong.

Answer 6
