Thread Name: How reliable is Folk History ?
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: How reliable is Folk History ?
Jim this is the statement of yours that I responded to:

Nobody seems to want to discuss the actual surroundings of the situation and the power of (virtually) life and death these people wielded and the proven way they used it to exile millions and evict many more millions to homelessness and permanent exile?

However this is the one you now appear to be taking me task for, which is something I have never commented on:

It seems to me you are defending the indefensible
Your reason for doing so becomes obvious in your sentence "the simple fact remains that if rent is not paid the tenant is evicted that was and still is the case anywhere in the UK and I dare say in the ROI."
Are you really suggesting that the death of millions and the forcible emigrations that followed the famine are less important than paying the rent


Please show me in the first quotation above where you mention the death of millions - or is this another example of the non-existent name you took me to task for earlier.

Simple fact Jim there is just simply no discussing anything with you, all you seem to seek is sycophantic agreement of every utterance.

How reliable is "Folk History"? The answer is Not very reliable at all.
