No, it was their own people that did that. The landowners were still Irish.

Besides, so long as they are both part of the European Union, one will never be “out of” the other. The whole principle of “ever closer union” after all.

No, they didn’t. Britain in fact gave the Irish food at cost to the UK, and both Protestants and Catholics died in the famine, at least 100000 Protestants died, the UKs own people in Ireland, in the north. Possibly as high as 300000.

The UK also repealed the corn laws to help the Irish. The British made mistakes but the idea they killed only Catholics and did so deliberately is a nonsense.

I want you the hell out of the US, give your land back to the Indians, and apologise for all the brutality against them, I mean if the Brits get out of Ireland, it’s only fair......mmmkay?. If the Brits are terrorists so are you.
