No they have not You have put up no arguments You are now attempting to smear Feel free to contradict anything I have put up with information of your own Hit and run is just about played out on this thread Now You have had the statements of the Governments intentions You have had the food situation as it existed at the time You have had the fact that The British Empire was the richest and most powerful entity on the planet at the time. You have repeated contently statements affirming that the evictions (assisted by the British forces of law and order and the military( were enforced by the Government's insistence that all failure to pay rents should be acted upon, and that this policy was continued log after the Famine was over The Fact that there was another famine could be described as an act of God (if you believe that sort of thing) The results of the 1845-1850 Famine were down purely to not only the inaction of the British Government, but on their (at best) indifferent, and probably deliberate actions in dismantling what the previous put in place and enforcing a policy of emigrate or starve. Every single statement here is backed up with acres of information As I said, feel free Jim Carroll
