How the British saw the Irish Famine at that time?

How do they see it today?

OP here. I am not even Irish (nor American) and I missed that thread apparently.

The British Government barely undertook any action. They slowly ended the Corn Acts of 1815, but I'm not even sure if that was because of the Great Famine. And the Protestant English landlords actually continued to demand their rents from the Irish peasants.

Brits are the ULTIMATE dindus. Zionist kikes are absolute masters at revisionism. I still lament to this day that Napoleon didn't cross the channel. He would have made William the Conqueror look like Koksal Baba.

>>In 1845,OttomanSultan Abdülmeciddeclared his intention to send £10,000 to victims of the Irish potato famine, butQueen Victoria requested that the Sultan send only £1,000, because she herself had sent only £2,000.[1][2][3]The Sultan sent £1,000 along with five ships full of food. The British administration allegedly attempted to block the ships, but the food arrived secretly at Droghedaharbour and was left there by Ottoman sailors.[4][5]

I have some Irish family, and they said that only the old people really hate Britain. The young don't really care
>>
Non-butthurt brit here

It was actually considered a humanitarian crisis at the time (Karl Marx wrote about it) and people expected the Irish to rebel over it. It's true to a large extent the whole thing happened because the British elites saw the Irish as inferior and weren't as bothered about them dying, but whilst your average Brit at the time probably didn't have a great view of the Irish, they probably wouldn't approve of the brutallity.

Having said that though, they probably hardly heard about it, that goes for most atrocities associated with the empire

>>669240

Full of banter and friendliness, most actual hatred towards the Irish has died down since the 1970s, also a lot of Brits are part Irish (in some parts of the UK most brits have Irish ancestry.
>>

I see it as another pitched battle in the 800 years war/Irish Catholic genocide.

But I'm from Liverpool, so we sympathize too much with the gaeltacht here. "Me da's frum donegall" or some such bullshit.
>>
So I'm a paddy.
The English didn't care and they still don't care - they think it is a joke.
However having said that I live in England so therefore can't say shit about 'fuck the queen' because that would be stupid of me.
The youth in Ireland are stupid in some areas such as Cabra/Finglas/general North Side Dublin. They seem to think glorifying the IRA is some amazingly patriotic thing as is hating the English, but it is ridiculous. At the age of 18, the only effects these kids have felt caused by the English have been positive - look at the bailout.

Ireland was producing more than enough food. It is just that the land owners made more money by exporting the food.

In fairness we just don't care, never have, never will.

Irish anon here,

Pretty much this. Although a good portion of the land owners were British, a fair few were still Irish but there was more money in selling food to India than helping some starving family on the other side of the country. At the time we didn't see ourselves as Irish generally so there was no union or support from fellow Irish men.

The real crisis wasn't the lack of potatos but the unwillingness of the Irish to eat their own babies at the going market price.

Mosley was literally the voice of reason during the Civil War, disagreed with an Irish revolution by force when peaceful alternatives existed, but respected the rights of those who wanted indepdence to campaign for it, and realised thu Black and Tans were making the situation even worse than it should be, leading him to making his greatest political career in leaving the Conservative party

this isn't true.

Depends on the person, some welcomed it others lamented it, most didn't give a shit.

The vast majority don't know/care.

Depends on who you ask and where you go; here in Ireland patriotism is considered to be terrorism rather than racism by our local SJWs. Unusually, they also really like British people and the British Empire. (how they reconcile this with their hatred of 'white privileged imperialism' is that 'Irish people had it great in the British Empire and need to stop whining because white people cannot be oppressed') There are still some patriotic people in the south though, particularly among the working class.

In the north, the older generation is generally patritoic in my experience while a lot of the millenial generation say they support the IRA if it comes up in conversation but otherwise don't really care.

Patriotism in Ireland is practically universal and SJWs barely exist. Nationalism in Ireland is traditionally a left wing affair.

>Unusually, they also really like British people and the British Empire.
No, that's West Brits, aka blueshirts, aka fascists.

>(how they reconcile this with their hatred of 'white privileged imperialism' is that 'Irish people had it great in the British Empire and need to stop whining because white people cannot be oppressed')
No, that's Americans.
