@Fartsurmonde

Yep, I must have got my Irish famine 'facts' from Wiki too, hmmm? ;)

[Fartsurmonde]

@manfred898 -No you are grabbing at straws as if you really read history you would know Britain rejected the peace offer from Hitler and went to War -the appeasers were ignored.Please get an education and stop relying on movies,TV and Wiki for your educational information which is made up drivel.

@Fartsurmonde

.....British policy of the time was all about appeasing facists in Europe, or have you conveniently forgotten that fact? You're really grasping at straws! :)

[manfred898]

Haha! Those fighters were independant citizens, they were nothing to do with British policy, infact they were mainly Socialist in ideology, certainly not what the British regime would have encouraged :) If you'd actually read 'Homage to Catalonia', you'd understand. Desperate pleas by the Spanish Republican government for assistance from the European democracies of Britain and France fell, overwhelmingly, on deaf ears....

@Fartsurmonde

 ....Moral bench marks? Hardly. You skim history my friend, to suit your Nationalistic ideals, to make you feel somehow superior through a chance of birth, you don't really grasp it at all.

[manfred898]

@Fartsurmonde

......even though they were the wealthiest society on earth, simply to protect their markets. Enlightened enough to spread moral code to India? Do you think? As for the Bengal famines of the 1940s, Basically England occupied a hugely material rich land, yet did nothing to alleviate a famine that killed millions, again for economic reasons, that was your great man Winston Churchill...

[manfred898]

@Fartsurmonde

....as justification for their subjugation when equally barbaric practices existed in England. As for the famines of Ireland, again, read proper history, not just your jingoistic back slapping English sort, the fact is, a blight struck the potato crops ( a virulent fungus ) spread by the wind, (where you got this flood nonsense I don't know!) and the English did virtually nothing to relieve it, they let 1 million of who were supposedly their own citizens starve....

@Fartsurmonde

I thought you'd gone ;) You still haven't explained to me how the English defeated Franco, we'll just ignore that one will we? ;) Of course Britain wasn't the only country to do that, though I draw no distinction between hanging and the guillotine, I'd rather be guillotined to be honest. My point is, you can't really comment on barbaric practice peculiar to some Indian tribes of the period......

[Fartsurmonde]

@manfred898 -Britain was not the only country who punished children in such a way but at least we did not guillotine them as they did in France. It is a common myth which is projected by the Irish that Britain starved them, when in fact it was because as it does today it rained and flooded wiping out two harvests that caused the famine. In India it was not caused by the British either,any starvation problems were there way before the British landed there.So what you carping on about

[Fartsurmonde]

@manfred898 Britain opposed Franco as they opposed all the other tyrants -there were many Britons who joined the International fighters including George Orwell who wrote "1984" as a warning of future dangers in a dictatorship,
