@schmingusss Its worse than that - in fact they were removing all that produce from Ireland. It wasn't a potato famine - it was the deliberate removal of all produce from Ireland and a sizable chunk of the British army was stationed in Ireland at one point to make sure that removal was successful. The fact that even Irish history books are glossing over this is a scandal.

@brianredmond4919 You're wrong. It was an intentional attempted genocide and had nothing to do with potato blight.

@beckyboop3517 Exactly.

@1738Creations Not true. There were numerous varieties of produce growing in Ireland at the time. The produce was removed at gunpoint but is not spoken about: just like in the first 10 years after Cromwell's invasion into Ireland a quarter of a million Irish men, women and children were sold to slave ships bound for the Carribbean. Its true - and a matter of public record: yet none of the historians, even Irish historians, will touch that subject.

unvaccinated6467 1738 is telling the truth. I'm surprised someone who calls himself 'unvaccinated6467' is so ready to believe the lies of the political class on this.

@Unvaccinated69 Ok - I must have mixed up your comment with someone else's: I thought you were saying it wasn't. Pardon me.

True. It was a holodomor - an attempt at genocide.

@TheJakecakes I'm still amazed at the lies still being told about this. The first attempts to remove produce from Ireland were fought hard against by the Irish and it became so difficult for the brits that at one stage a huge chunk of the brit army were stationed to make sure all produce left. There was a book recently written about this co-ordinated genocide but I don't remember the name of the book. I must look it up again. Its really too bad that generations of *SS kissing Irish governments and historians have chosen to rewrite this as a potato famine.

@brianredmond4919 What an unbelievably facile question. Records were created and kept by the brits on how much produce was to be removed and how much manpower it would take to remove it. Those records still exist. Historians, for their own reason, chose to rewrite it. Its like, for instance, if I can put it into a context that you'll find easy to digest: historical public records show that slavery was a problem all over there world: the first slaves were Eurpopean - slavs: African leaders sold other Africans into slavery, and kept slaves themselves - but history books only write about slavery being a white on black crime. Same thing.

@Zodroo_Tint True. That's good advice. I've always been amazed at people who can't research anything for themselves and demand to be spoonfed information and links that they don't even look at in most cases.

@slewone4905 True. In fcat that's a point that's also missed in the history books: there were numerous famines in Ireland - then, of course, the holodomor that was claimed to be a famine in the 1840s.

@@hannahm240 TBH Hannah - I've come across a few Irish people who have brianredmond's attitude. He may be just a trolling brit with seriously lacking social skill but I have met self hating Irish people: one of whom even described the Irish language as 'a dead language' but of course you wouldn't hear the little pip squeak talk about an ancient African language in the same way.

unvaccinated6467 Ok, I just pointed out that I must have mixed your comment up with someone else's - no need to get passive aggressive about it.
1
unvaccinated6467 You are being passive aggressive - and I already said 'pardon me' after conceding I misunderstood - you're making yourself look worse with every passive aggressive comment - and kind of feminine by this stage in your remarks if you don't mind me saying so.

@vintageaudioworkshop Yes.

@Paratus7 Its true.

Ireland has one of the worst political classes in Europe - and easily the worst and most censorious media.
