"that British policy played no part in the Famine"
Keith's whole thrust on this, on the WW1, on weapons sales, even on a old thread on British Fascism - has been a flag-waving nationalist claim that Britain has done no wrong
His present mantra is an insistence that Britain is in no way to blame for what happened in Ireland.
He has demanded to the point of hysteria, that we admit that those who blame Britain are in the minority.
Keith's extreme nationalism goes through most of his postings - it is his idenifying feature
This is a small sample from Keith's postings

"For the record many historians find that Britain can not be blamed.
those who blame Britain are the minority
Not surprising when generations of school children have been brainwashed to believe Britain should be blamed, keeping hate alive.
When they have done that, most of them find that Britain can not be blamed.
Put very simply for you to understand, they blame Britain. The Revisionists do not.
For the record many historians find that Britain can not be blamed.
I just said that blame is disputed by some historians, which is true.
Musket, the Revisionists on this do NOT blame Britain.
Historians dispute that Britain can be blamed.
Historians dispute the question of blame Greg.
In the context of the famine, nationalist historians blame the government, and revisionists do not.
Blame is disputed."

Perhaps you would like to counterbalance it with instances of his admitting that Britain was in any way to blame for the outcome of the Famine?
You have been given a list of exactly what part British policy played in the outcome of the Famine - you continue to refuse to respond with anything other than unqualified denial of documented evidence.
Your continuing belligerently bulldozing tone is an indication that you Keith's mind-numb views.
If my description of British policy is wrong - show where it is and stop trying to shout and bluster it down - this is a debating forum, not one of your thuggish "I wanna be a soldier" brawls.
By the way - Canon John O'Rourke was writing in 1874, when the whole of Ireland was blaming Britain for the outcome of the famine.
Things have very much moved on since then.
Respond to the facts - you boorish lout
