Well, acceptance is a start I suppose.

Evil br*Toids slaughtered any irishmen who dared look at the water.

The famine was brutal. Really wish the Empire had shown the slightest bit of compassion towards the Irish, maybe history would've gone differently and they'd still be part of the UK. The cruelty was bizarre.

Why did Brits hate the Irish so much?

Catholicism vs Protestantism, I think.

They were Catholic. We didn't like Catholics very much.

>There is no crime ever invented by eastern or western barbarians, no torture or Roman persecution or Spanish Inquisition, no tyranny of Nero or Alva but can be matched in the history of England in Ireland

Should've converted to Protestantism.

They wouldn't have starved, been raped by papist priests or have their children killed by papist nuns

>mfw that entire page is using English as a synonym for British.
The way the Eternal Jock escapes blame infuriates me.

But there was a mass import of grain in 1847 and the subsequent budget created public works and other relief schemes for Ireland. The Government did attempt to alleviate the famine, although half-heatedly, stating otherwise like in that picture is a lie.

The logic from those kinds of people is so flawed is ridiculous.
To put it in economic terms, what good is a farm with no workers? Why would a landlord kill his tenants? It's ridiculous.

anglos are pure evil

Too little too late, didn't have much effect. The imported grain was poor quality and ill-suited for Irish mills. The entire thing could've been prevented if the penal laws had been scrapped. Even by 19th century standards they were ridiculous. I'll agree with you on the source being biased though, but it's the most concise rundown on it I've found so far.

I think it was the constant delay on home rule that killed off whatever little enthusiasm they still had left to be with us. It should've been passed the first time it was brought to parliament.

1. it's not easy to suddenly make a ton of fishing equipment and then suddenly have enough immediately to feed your entire nation

2. the english LITERALLY did not let them, and sold off other food they could've sold/given to the irish

>people were retarded
Should have just ended it there

>retards (you) still use terminology made up by Spanish autists in the 1500's

They LITERALLY couldn't have stopped them.

Anyway, how hard is it to make a net?
