The Irish famine killed no more than 500 thousand probably closer to 400. I heard that was due to the 'Great Frost' destroying the crops rather than the British deliberately killing Irish. Once the better weather returned the famine was over.

Where's the evidence that the British set out to starve the Irish?

Take your time to read the parliamentary records from that time, in black and white they turned their back, read about the the “famine roads” educate yourself it was a disgraceful time, oh and by the way the Protestants in the North did not go hungry strange or what

to deny British complicity in the Irish Famine is as bad as holocaust denial. It was a deliberate genocide - and it really did happen. Troop numbers were dramatically increased....and they were high even before the famine.

Catholic Ireland was always seen as the weak link in the british Empire....a landing ground for French/Spanish armies.

Like the American Indians, the natives were seen as a nuisance that was 'getting in the way of progress'.

the Brits 'Final Solution' to the irish question was an attempt to genocide the locals and to colonize the whole island. As had already happened in Ulster.

Scotland, Wales & protestant Ulster all survived the Famine relatively unscathed.

That is a wordpress article, where is the actual evidence that the British deliberately starved the Irish?

If you are going to give me 'final solution' stuff that I want hard evidence. Even from what I've researched that's clearly nonsense. You previously wrote that it wasn't a genocide and now you do.

If you are going to talk genocide, where is the UN resolution backing this?

Well take an educated guess, potato blight also affected the uk, it did not affect,cattle,sheep,pigs,apples,chickens, pears other vegetables etc etc but a million people died or were displaced in only one place Catholic Southern Ireland the very same blight disease did not cause starvation anywhere else in the UK, Also ships were leaving Cork on a weekly basis taking beef to British troops stationed in India, fact, whilst people, catholics were dying
UN was not about in the 1840s, plus the uk can if it so wishes block any decisions, called the veto, Russia keeps using it
