Subject: RE: BS: Irish Potato Blight- Cause found
"King Henry V and Sir Francis Drake both died of dysentery. Are we to assume that an evil English government starved them too?"
What - are you out of your mind - British policy of refusing to feed the poor starved the Irish
The forcible shipping out of sick and dying human beings was a contributory factor
If you need me to explain it - again -I will
