No. Great Britain or Britain. is comprised of England, Scotland and Wales. When Northern Ireland is added, the country is then given its full name of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and its citizens are British in international law. However, the people of these individual places may well describe themselves as being English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish and would be upset at being called English if they were Scottish, Welsh or Irish. The status of these places is roughly similar to individual States within the United States. So, if you are English you would also be British, but if you are British you aren't necessarily English.
