    I was taught this by my parents and g.parents when i was young boy. Also as a personal interest read up on it as a teenager.
    But reading this again i felt sick, angry, sad to many feelings. One word keeps coming to mind '*'.

    One point of interest now maybe if the mods could add genocide/holocaust to the title or just re-title it.

    Thanks for the link mate.:50: everyone should be taught this at school. READ what real heritage is.

    They never taught the real facts in school. I'm just finding out what really happened reading through this thread.

    * typical that the brits have an excuse/reason for every wrong doing they do. They get away with everything.

    Murderers. Always have been, always will be.

    when i was in county mayo going back a fair few years in july..driving thrugh the countryside..you could just feel the sadness and despair coming from the hills and bog themselves..

    it was only a couple of years later i found out that some of those "hills" were mounds of bones from the famine:frown:

    everywhere britain go they milk it for everything and leave the place in a horrible way.. e.g India

    Too right, mate.
    I found out the real facts when I was a kid. The Brits slag off everyone else for rewriting history but they have done a * good job of it themselves.

    Irish famine memorial Islay Scotland
    https://translate.google.co.uk/tran...m/2014/01/16/islay-scotland-2000/&prev=search




    The loss of the emigrant ship Exmouth Castle on 28th April, 1847 is one of the most tragic peacetime incidents of all of the Islay shipwrecks. The ship was owned by Mr. John Eden of South Shields and had departed from Londonderry bound for Quebec on Sunday 25th April with two hundred and forty emigrants plus an additional three women passengers and eleven crew aboard. A memorial was erected near Sanaigmore Bay as a reminder of this terrible tragedy. The Gaelic and English text is as follows:

    This memorial is dedicated to the memory of 241 Irish emigrants who lost their lives on the 28th April 1847, when the brig 'The Exmouth of Newcastle' out of Derry and bound for Quebec Canada at the time of the great famine, was wrecked on the N/W coast of Islay. 108 bodies, mostly women and children (63 under the age of 14, and 9 infants) were recovered and are buried under the soft green turf of Traigh Bhan. May their souls rest forever in the Peace of Christ.

    It wasn't a famine, so to speak, it was a deliberate attempt by the British to eradicate large swathes of the Irish population. *.

    Correct. It cannot be a famine while food is being exported.

    It is also a * disgrace that Glasgow hasn't got a permanent memorial, it says it all about this wee country.

    * me off that we were told nothing about the British role in it while in school.

    I teach geography now and if the famine comes up I make a point of mentioning it.

    The British establishment , namely the various parasites referred to as supposed royal families are not just 'pretty good at rewriting and inventing history'
    They are masters of it.
    They invented and managed so they could steal, steal more than any common criminal would dream of!
    F all to do with religion, all to do with extremes of evil greed.
    How the * do you think the asylum seeking Germans saxe coburgs managed to end up with a 500 bedroom house. Do you think they worked honestly for it?
    A intricate system of lackys and barons and a population controlled through managed news and stories after brute terrorism had done the primary task of subduing the population.
    Ireland read America read Kenya read India anywhere and everywhere the evil greed went.

    The oxymoron uk is the most spied on population in the world, the largest illegally held DNA database per population in the world, and you just kissed goodbye to any recall rights without the protection of the European Court of Human right to monitor them.
    uk is one of the most ignorant nation states in Western Europe, that excels in propaganda one sided stories able to compete with control with anywhere, even the likes of N. Korea

    what real difference at the core of the ignorant nationalist extremism?
    in the UK or N Korea, you can see vast swathes of simpletons groups standing in the sun or rain applauding another human being for no logical reason except pure inbred ignorance, and happy in their pomp and fears of 'others' and likewise infected with widespread dangerously inflated levels of imagined self importance.
    Bred to be as ignorant as * and proud of same, encouraged by the system of parasites who leech off them

    Famine was a invention
    Theft and murder by lackies and the british royal system was at the core

    Actual ships itinerary from 1847

    This was a usual typical day every day in a supposed 'famine'

    And to think we Irish were encouraged by some in a perverse and ignorant lacky press to imagine ourselves as supposedly more mature because we welcomed (a staged managed welcome) the descendants of German crime families. Saxe Coburgs!

    Some think the supposed famine of 1845 and for several years was the only crime against humanity in Ireland by agents of called royals and often in the name of so called religion.
    Some have heard of Elizabethan sword and famine genocide campaigns that preceeded the genocides in Colonial America, or the Irish slaves in the planatations of Cromwell or later effective slaves in Australia, sent to hard labour for stealing bread and other basics of life.
    Many others are covered up still

    The Foundling scheme, making good Protestants from stolen Irish native children

    I agree with comments about this relatively unknown history being sad
    It is almost laughable how many of these sad orange morons are descended themselves from Irish native children who were stolen and abused in every sense by royal prerogative and a supposed protestant religious order, just another agent of the crown

    I remember reading a book on the potato famine and they said it was caused by the fungal potato blight ruining the tattie crop. The lucky ones got on boats to America, many died, and the survivors survived by catching and eating blackbirds and plump wood pigeons.A plump wood pigeon would make a dinner for five.
