"
Do you believe that the British Government carried out a deliberate policy of genocide in Ireland between the years 1845 and 1851?"
You've just had your answer to that - get somebody to read it to you.
"Contains not one single word written by you Christmas -"
It was my coup de grace of Keith's claim that she supported his case - I have expressed my own opinion throughout this discussion - unlike Keith's cut-'n- pastes - what's your point?
It was not "cherry-picked" - it was taken from fully-linked articles already up on this thread - the fact that you haven't bothered to read erither of them is an indication of your disinterest and ignorance of the subject in hand
"Ah so not deliberate then? Why not just say so?"
I have just answered tat question - get someone to read it for you.
"To state that they did nothing is ludicrous"
I didn't say they did nothing - what they did do left the alternative - "emigrate or starve"
Just said that - get someone to read it for you
"Ireland had up until 1801 been self-governing, the fact that it was corrupt and inefficient through a mixture of indolence and ignorance was no fault of mainland Britain, or it's Government."
Ireland waws under Brittish rule and its economy was completely under British control - British bulinessmen and landlords made sure of that - this is how Empire worked - go read a book
My respect for Mitchel is limited to his fight for Irish independence - if you care to read the notes to our Travellers CD on Musical Traditions you will find my attitude to his support for slavery - get someone to read it for you.
"Ah so now it was deliberate, then it may not be? Are you totally incapable of making your mind up on anything?"
The question of whether Britain's behaviour was deliberate or not is in contention everywhere and I have said so - gets someone to read what I have written instead of distorting what I believe.
Blaming the Irish for the results of the Famine just about sums up you pair of clowns
Morcambe and Wise are dead - why not set up a comedy team to replace them - though your inability to conduct a simple discussion without bullshit and bluster doesn't auger well for your chances.
