>This. Basically the same as the Holodomor. British stole food, prevented local population from getting more food. They wanted people to die.
they called it 'surplus population'.

it's because england had so many jews infiltrated into their gene pool early on
>>>We
What do you mean "we?"
Did your ancestors involve themselves in any way in the War of Independence? Mine did.
If you're a Mick, I sincerely doubt that yours did.
In India during the British caused famine they set up workhouses for the victims and intentionally made conditions there so terrible that people wouldnt go to them unless they were on the verge of death.
obviously most people just died shortly after arriving in one.
that's the kind of people the British are. and they tell us stories about 'evil Nazis'.
Ireland doesnt have a lot of trees. Boats are made of wood. What's the point of this thread?
The Irish like to conform to stereotypes.
So the stereotype appeared that they only ate potatoes and that became a self fueling thing.
In England we were begging them to diversify their food supplies or else something bad might bappen but nooooo they knew better.
At the end of the day, they paid the price for being fussy eaters. If they could afford to emigrate, they could afford to eat at a modest restaurant.

Mocking the Irish.
You need to understand that the Potato Famine was due to inequality, not any absolute shortage of food. Poor people's spuds died, and they were not allowed to, for instance, move into town or take food from productive farms. There were huge public order problems, and the cops basically forced the starving together, back to their villages and the like, to starve. Blaming the British is disingenuous - most Irish people regarded themselves as British at the time, Irish nationalism wasn't even really a thing until they started shooting the revolutionaries after the failed 1916 rising - the famine was something that we did to each other, and we need to admit that.
