Your assertion that Britain feasted whilst Ireland starved is ludicrous, just laughable.

You DO realise that, then as now, most British people were poor and working class, living in cramped, unsanitary conditions and most of Britain earned a pittance doing back breaking labour or industrial work?. Or do you think Britain is all lords and ladies, and was in 1845?.

Most British people ate poor food and lived on meagre diets in 1845. Feasted?. Dont make me laugh.

You dare laugh at the privation of an entire nation and death of 1.5 million souls, while the remainder of Europe suffered no diminution in lifestyle. And yes, the Lords and Ladies responsible feasted on Irish livestock. Your denial is detestible.
