One million starved to death, two million forced to flee to other nations, as the population of Ireland went from 8 milion to 5 million. It was essentially genocide, because while the Brit Queen and her loyal subjects did extremely little to help, they increased their military presence in Ireland to ensure that their grain exports weren't tampered with. The Irish couldn't eat the food they farmed. What was more important, after all, money for the Crown or the lives of these miserable "papists"?
The famine is over why dont they go home? If they are so proud to be Irish they should go home, I take it you have never heard the songs the Celtic support come out with in support of the IRA or the Rangers fans in support of the UDA/UVF? I would just like to state I don’t like either Rangers or Celtic and hate it when their fans come and pollute my city with their bigotry for the record I’m a Hibernian supporter a club that was set up in 1875 to help Irish immigrants but who have moved forward and now we pick our players on talent alone not what religion they are. Glory Glory to the Hibees!
