"Stop making arguments up. You have zero justification for such a statement."
Doyou honestly believe that the British people were so docile and subservient as to accept locked warehouses full of food, forced emigrations and mass starvation
Stop being so dismissive of humanity
There is no doubt in my mind that they would have taken up arms in such a circumstances as they did during the Swing Riots, the Luddite Period and the Chartist demands - as teh Welsh did during the Rebecca riots and the toll gate protests
As it was, the evicted crofters resisted the clearances with force and they were a fraction as severe as The Famine
Starving people do not take starvation without resistance
Stop being abusive - even if such behaviour were acceptable, you are the last one to be in a position to talk down to people
"False fact" - straight from teh tweeting of Donald the Trumpeter
Were are your real arguments (rhetorical question in order to underline the fact that you have none)
