The term 'Great Britain' merely refers to the largest of the islands that make up the British Isles. It has nothing to do with whether Britain is 'great' or not - it is a reference to the size of the island, not it's prowess or standing on the world stage.
And this is why we should be adopting the term UK, being inclusive of Northern Island, which GB is not.
