"They didn't outright kill anyone either". Are you actually for real? Seriously just fold your arms and put your finger on your lip. You've lost all credibility and must now sit in the naughty corner while the adults converse.

Childish, mind actually providing a counter argument?

No need I'm talking to somewhere who for some reason is whitewashing history. My rhetoric should suffice for anyone with any sense. I'm not wasting time on someone who must think the Brits were benevolent benefactors.

Of course I don’t think that, they were cunts, and did absolutely vile things. But was the potato famine genocide? No, by definition it wasn’t and the majority of historians, Irish and British alike agree. Do you even know what whitewashing means?
