No assets to strip? Keith, just when I thought you might be at least reasonable, you throw this out. Ever hear of Irish Oak? Not recently because it was stripped and sent to make English and European furniture. Do you not consider land an asset? It was stripped from the hands of the Irish, and given to transplanted peoples. How about homes? Were these assets? The ones that were taken from families who had lived in them for centuries, and then razed to make way for cattle to graze. How about Arranmore? You may of heard of the place. It is where the people who had lived there for centuries were evicted to make way for the plantation lords to graze cattle. Here is the paragraph from the linked article:

The Irish potato blight had started in 1845 and decimated the country over the next three years. Absentee landlords shipped the few crops grown in the poor soils to the most lucrative markets, and farmers who had worked the same plot for generations, still using their great grandfathers' spade and hoe, were evicted if they could not pay their rent. Without the potato crop, there simply was no money. Plunged into misery, the gaunt people of Arranmore were reduced to eating seaweed. In 1847, after half had been evicted by a landowner they'd never seen because they had no documents to prove they'd ever paid rent, the Society of Friends sent 2 coffin ships to bring many of them to America.

Your attempt to whitewash centuries of repression, discrimination, and usurpation of rights and property does not speak well. Debate on the film is fine. But your denial of factual history, and your attempt to mitigate the guilt of the English government is beyond comprehension.
