The Irish Potato Famines of 1845-49: A British Genocide?: Very interesting article Joe.Read the article this discussion is about

» rkhen - Very interesting article Joe. Very interesting article Joe. The Potato Famine is one of those "interesting times" the Chinese have warned us about. Your mention of the Tory government writing off the famine as "laziness" especially caught my eye. They're still at it, of course; Reagan and Thatcher both took that line on poverty and unemployment, and to a lesser extent the same cancer has infected our system here in Canada. It's truly ironic that what are essentially supremely lazy leaders, attempted and still attempt to attribute society-wide catastrophes to the alleged laziness of others.By the way, you or your readers might enjoy my articles, "England's Other Languages" and "Thoul't Aye Be Dear Tae Me: Gaelic," which uploads 13 April. Great site! -- posted by rkhen
