The Brits were exporting food then while 1.5 million Irish starved to death. Another 1.5 million Irish migrated to avoid starving. The population count has yet to recover.

I was at an Anglican service once, where the pastor was exhorting the congregation to “Remember the Martyrs!” The irony was, that this was at a service being held in a Catholic Church facility being loaned to the Anglicans because they were thrown out of their own church for not embracing homosexuality.
