The Isle of Man is an automous, self-governing Crown Dependency. For most purposes it is independent, but the British government handles external affairs (foreign relations) and defence matters. It's certainly not part of "GB" though - Great Britain is merely a geographical place (i.e. the big island east of Ireland which consists of England, Scotland and Wales). It has its own legal, medical, education, police, local and national government systems. Manx people (people from the Isle of Man) are British citizens but can't vote in UK or EU elections unless they're living in the UK. Unless Manx people have a family connection to the UK then they aren't entitled to live or work elsewhere in the European Union. Manx people aren't entitled to UK healthcare either.
