I don't know anything about the famine. Did/could the English colonize the island while the native Celtic population was starving?

>>Deep breath<< No, and they had little interest in it. The potato famine didn't only hit Ireland it also hit the poor in the rest of Britain, the one which should do the colonisation. It didn't happen because the British elite didn't care for the Irish, it happen because they didn't care for the poor period.

What the devil interest would the Scots have in screwing over their fellow Celts? They already screw themselves over enough. Yes, yes the British did it but surely the majority of British atrocities committed against the Irish were committed by the English British. I don't see the Welsh or Cornish British as interested in that sort of thing.

Yes, yes they did. They twirled their moustaches and laughed behind their capes while they were doing it.
They then killed every pig in Kerry to make square balls for the Eton wall game AND THREW THE MEAT AWAY!
It happened because potato blight just doesn't give a crap. The British government gave something of a crap about the poor, even the Irish poor, which was why there was an official response, just a faultering bungled one.
And there was very little effect on Great Britain because there was much less of a potato monoculture. There were also minor outbreaks in Canada and Germany, though, which proves my point that "the British government" "caused" shit all.
When 25% of the of population of a territorium dies and another 25% emigrates you answer shouldn't be:

While the Potato Famine also hit other countries, none of them was hit as hard and some them was as agriculture monoculture as Ireland. Ireland continued exporting food under the famine, that what Sudan is condemn for today.

Can I be cabin boy?
Might I be the first to suggest that Roger is an excellent name for a cabin boy.
My actual name is Robin. Close enough?
