No. I mean English English. You try telling a Scot that English is the same
thing as Scots!
You are, however, slightly confused. ;-) England, Great Britain and United
Kingdom are all different things. You mention UK and GB as though they are
the same thing as each other and as England!! And there is no such thing as
UK English. Glaswegians and those from Belfast are both equally
incomprehensible to me.
The United Kingdom is a political entity and comprises four nations. Hence
the term "United" in the name. The geographical entity of Great Britain
houses three nations, the English, the Welsh and the Scots. The countries
are respectively called England, Wales and Scotland. The fourth member of
the united Kingdom, Northern Ireland, is not in Great Britain. It is on the
island of Ireland.
