I normally do not respond Christmas because what you write is normally a complete and utter load of B'll'cks.

Example:
"It was well within the Empires economy and power to ride out the effects of the Famine simply by the continuance and development of Peels' humanitarian policy"

So are you saying that Black '47 would not have occurred if Peel's humanitarian effort had continued even although by 1846 it was obvious that it just could not cope? Once more I will tell you - People were NOT dying of HUNGER.
