Just a few points. Ireland - like Scotland - was not just minding its own business when the nasty English came up and started picking on them. In the context of this history of the British Isles, the Scots and Irish are the villains of the piece, and all the attempts to whitewash their crimes with cries of 'propaganda' can't change the facts. The large-scale massacres of Protestants in the 1590's, in 1641, and in 1798, are the tip of the iceberg - just as the Scots were usually the aggressors in the Anglo-Scottish wars.
The funny thing is that while seriously understating the number of Protestants murdered, the Irish ridiculously exaggerate the number of people who died in the Potato Famine, from the 20,000 who actually died, to a million, and now apparently two million - achieved basically by simply assuming that everyone who died in the 1840's was a famine victim, even people who died of cancer or heart-attacks two years before the famine began.
Similarly, instead of understanding that Irish people - both Catholic and Protestant - chose to sell food abroad, they make the false claim that the British 'took food' out of Ireland. Also, why did they have six or eight children when they could only support two?The Catholic Church was pressuring people to have all these kids, so why didn't the Papacy take responsibility for the results? The Pope was perfectly willing to send weapons to Ireland in the 17th century to kill Protestants but couldn't send food? Also, Catholic priests during the famine ordered their congregations to refuse food from Protestant organisations, so why is this Britain's fault?
