Last word on this
You have been advocating Christine Kinealy as your star historian and have distorted her view to suggest they support your own
Her statement above is diametrically opposite to everything you have been arguing
You have refused to respond to every singly salient point of how the Famine was handled - you have refused to acknowledge that the government appointee openly stated that the famine was God's punishment of the Irish and that it was a way of 'culling' them - coming from a man in his position, that can only be construed as Government policy, in which case, The Famine was used as an exercise in ethnic cleansing.
Christine Kinealy (your star witness) says exactly what needed to be said on the famine.
You re-opened this thread to continue an argument you had already been humiliated on - in doing so you have humiliated yourself further.
You will now attempt to salvage something from the ashes of your own making - you will do so on your own
