Drunken Irish Bastards deserved it!

If the irish werent so poor and decrepid and would get off their fat arses once in a while maybe the famine wouldnt of happened!

Food for thought

@emerald7273 Get over... LOL.Yeah... the Irish should just "get" over it.. Bigot.

[redbe1975]

@emerald7273 Bigot.

[LocoRico89]

I'm still thinking to myself that my great(3 times) grandpa was from Ireland who immigrated to USA during the famine BUT my great great grandpa was born in TN. Any ideas of how I can find out? His last name was Young

@emerald7273 the dublin tenements/slums were one of the biggest and poorest in europe there was a extremely high death rate from disease and starvation google dublin tenements and you'll see there were many a records of mothers in tenements that had 15 kids and only 3 or 4 would survive the rest would die from starvation or disease most kids didn't have shoes dublin slums were much much worser then englands FACT! your a fucking muppet you posh english cunt

[TheAgentOfDeath]

stop geting drunk you little leprecons and start farming

[faro0485]

@nickhwe Not to mention that Potato isn't a native crop of Ireland... this sounds like a myth. And according to some historians it's more likely that they had their original land, and then food robbed from them.

[compost234]

I have a question, in 1759 ranching become economical, why as a result of that did the landlords evict their tenants?

[CSATexan]

@compost234

The landlords no longer needed the tenants to till the land.

dhrxsol1234☭O☭..OOpsie!!!!!!!!­!"Socialism is philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; inherent virtue is .. misery" Actully, 19th century Liberal economics is about making others pay for YOUR failures...see English landlords.

I'm starving now....who wants eggs and bacon ?

[iamdiva]

Thank you for posting this video. I spent a year writing a book about Ireland's tenant farming and I couldn't find much information about pre-Famine tenant/landlord relationships. Recently, the book landed a publishing contract. :)

@emerald7273 famine or excaberating one was the key weapon of the english.......and continued until the

brits were shamed by americans ....therefore the secret hate for americans in english hearts...

[amyisaleedsfan]

im english and can i just add, one yes england mistreated ireland quite obviously but our poverty was very very poor, you've got to think that in the 19th century being poor, famines and general ignorance to hygene was a part of everyday life in both countries, probably ireland slighty more.

[StSimonMartyr]

Dont call me any of your family names please..

England did not let its own people starve to death, and confiscate their food, grain and livestock At Gunpoint

Thats the key difference, shillstein

Class dismissed

[StSimonMartyr]

Thanks for your Pro English bias, you Limey Occupation Pimp

[StSimonMartyr]

Wrong.

England exported Irelands food at a profit to Europe.

Englands populace was fell fed, its military men not malnourished at all. They were the ones confiscating Irelands food At Gunpoint.

Scotland did face some food troubles and had a few thousand deaths, but England never faced any famine troubles.

The troubles in Ireland had to do with Food Confiscation by the Zionist English government and absentee Jewish English landlords evicting them, after stealing food.

Youre a Shill, now go away

[amokkisback]

@StSimonMartyr

That's a fact.

[salian66]
