"WHAT SHOULD THEY HAVE DONE that was possible AT THE TIME?"
For crying out loud Bruce - read the thread
I've not the slightest intention of spending another lifetime ploutering over this subject again
You came in to defend Keith's "majority of historians" claim - do so.
You have a summing up of my arguments on the British actions regarding the effects of the Famine but, as you appear not to have looked at it, here it is again (03 Apr 14 - 04:13 AM)
You obviously haven't bothered your arse familiarising yourself with the arguments, otherwise you wouldn't have put up Mokyr - who is not a historian, but a historical economist whom Keith has requested we forget.
If you notice anything we have overlooked - feel free to point it out.
"Lie. I never made any such claim"
Now look what you've done - you've gone and woke the Dalek - we'll never get him back to sleep now.
