The British didn't cause the famine, they "just" made it worse.

This is absolutely false. They didn't cause the potato blight but they absolutely caused the famine by forcing the export of the remaining food stock which was more than enough to feed the population.

We still have not reached pre-famine population levels after 180 years.

Uhm akshually don't you know that it was a subset of British society and not Britain as a whole. Jeeze, way to not be historically accurate.

Tap for un-circlejerkHope the /s is implied but just incase. If you're British and upset by this take, maybe your ancestors should have rolled out some guillotines when the French did. It's not too late to get rid of Charles, Starmer, Farage, Johnson and the rest of these chucklefucks.

And I'm sure you personally have made moves to execute your worst politicians right? And have no ancestors that have done anything wrong in the past?
