Since Ireland is a foreign country and is located in British Isles it is wrong.
It should say Foreign (aka not Great Britain) bc that's how the big island in this archipelago is called.
And agree with Niamh that the term British Isles is problematic considering England conquered Wales and Ireland and since then Ireland regained its independence.

It does very much. Claiming ownership of an independent country, even if it's done unwittingly or by clumsiness, smacks of an imperialist attitude. Something Britain should be avoiding bc its wrong and false. Especially now when it needs friends more than ever.
