Stupid micks. The Potato Famine was very, very, very bad.

Found your 1740 Irish famine reference very informative.
Irish famines were periodic well into the 20th Century:



"A short film produced by Pathe News around 1905 that
brought attention to famine in Ireland in that year."

Brit news today, a 29 year old Afghan man STABBED
a 60+ woman in the neck several times in a public
park. Her crime against Sharia - she was a gardener
and WORKING.

It is unclear whether the woman will survive. The
jihadi though is PROUD of himself.

As for the Potato Famine - yea, it WAS bad. It was
made much WORSE by the class/economic paradigms of
the day. The overlords demanded product, and did
not give a shit how many starved in the meantime.
They made potato THE crop - there wasn't enough
of anything else to eat and the bosses sure as
hell weren't going to buy it from abroad.

If the UK/EU tries to send a zillion Islamist
"refugees" to Ireland it'll be the same arrogant
WhoGivesAShitAboutTheIrish attitude as back in
the Potato days. Just dump the cultural toxic
waste in Ireland and who cares about the results.

The poorer ones went to North America. The more well off Ulster Scots
could afford the fares to Australasia.
In the age of sail, I wonder how many survived the voyage.

It was considered quite normal for a quarter of the passengers to die during
an Atlantic crossing. The corpses would be hauled on deck and tossed
overboard without ceremony...

The so called "potato famine" in Ireland was caused by the English who
were overseas landlords of Ireland, the potato shortage just meant all
food was being taken from the Irish to be sold to the English.
The English also sold the Irish as slave labor
Reality many Irish were slaves sent over to US as convicts
Chained up and whipped, forced to work. Often for the crime of simply
being Irish.
That's not "sentence", that's slavery.

What is the harm of for the Democrats validating the voting system.
Is it because the Democrats have something to hide?

Amazing to think that Lyndon Johnson perfected the
'sit-wait-see how many we need to win-then dump our
stuffed ballots at the last moment' electoral technique
in post-war Texas, and nothing has changed in US elections
in the 7 decades since.

The Left is fine with Vaccine Cards
but NOT voter IDs. Paying attention yet?

synagogue gathering - as it's revealed lockdown breakers climbed ROOFS

Did they just burn down the Synagogue with all

So, LET the CCP have them. Might actually be
an IMPROVEMENT. Oz has gone TOTALLY off the

Once I thought highly of Oz, seemed much like

Nope, issued them with the very substantial fine

Much of the land in Ireland in the mid 19th C was owned by Brits and
many of the Irish were tenant farmers. When the Great Famine arrived,
(IIRC that was in the 1840s but there were a few smaller ones and there
were similar crop failures at that time through other parts of Europe)
many Irish, did or nearly, starved. The potato crop which is was a
chief source of food for the Irish got 'blight'. Potatoes became a
staple because, as a buried crop, it was something that the landlord's
agents wouldn't remove as it'd require them to get their hands dirty.
The landlords may or may not have known of the famine as they left the
dealings with the Irish to their land agents.

There was some interesting reports to the UK Parliament about it - I
think I've read some of parts of them but it was now such a long time
ago that I can't dredge up more than a memory of their existence.

The Irish "Lumper" potato is still around, and still
susceptible to blight:


And what did they farm BEFORE the potato?:

Potatoes became a staple because, as a buried crop, it was something that
the landlord's agents wouldn't remove as it'd require them to get their

left the dealings with the Irish to their land agents.
It was not uncommon for British landlords to pay their
tenants' passage to America just to be RID of them...
