Terrible what the Irish went through.
Co Kerry was one of the worse, evidently.
Did i read somewhere that the common English also suffered badly at that time, due to the elites and land owners?
Maybe i'm wrong.

You just can't seem to get an explanation from the fear mongers, of why Brexit is gonna be so bad for the economy in the long run.
The way they were talking when it happened, Britain was focked. It was inevitable.
Well fuck me dead, guess what? Like Gloria Gaynor, we survived. Brexit? What brexit?
Taking back our own affairs from the grubby hands of Brussels.

All Britain is getting instead of Brussels "grubby hands" is "greedy hands" of the financial Mafia in London.
With not much of an industry left Britain will have to mutate into another Tax Haven to attract all the Black Money from around the world. Undoubtedly this will work fine but will only enrich again those that are already loaded with wealth and enslave those that represent the rest. Good luck with that.
Trusting post Brexit Britain is another issue.
Bj signed an agreement (Northern Ireland Protocol) which he never intended to honor.
Bank Of England keeps Gold Reserves of Venezuela and doesn't give it back , claiming the Venezuelan Government is not the "right" Government.
People in Britain will learn how to live with shortages (Food, Gas) and a totally f....d up Covid 19 Vaccine Campaign.
The List is longer.

With every post you make you display bizarre confusion over lots of issues.
Why exactly is the UK’s vaccine campaign fucked up?
The Uk was the first to start its vaccine campaign and close to 80 percent of everyone aged 12 or over is fully vaccinated. The percentage is closer to 90 percent for adults. The UK has already given booster jabs to nearly 3million.
@Guest (!JhcDeou4D2) If you had the full picture you wouldn't make that claim. Here is the proof of my statement:
The report - from MPs on the Science and Technology Committee and the Health and Social Care Committee - said the UK’s preparation for a pandemic was far too focused on flu, while ministers waited too long to push through lockdown measures in early 2020.
In the wide-ranging study stretching to 151 pages, MPs criticised the fact community testing was abandoned in March 2020 as a “seminal error”; it said NHS test and trace was too slow and failed to have a big impact; and that thousands of people died in care homes partly due to a policy of discharging people from hospital without testing.
At the beginning of the pandemic, when Covid-19 emerged in China, MPs said the UK policy was to mistakenly take a “gradual and incremental approach” to interventions such as social distancing, isolation and lockdowns.
They said this was “a deliberate policy” proposed by scientists and adopted by UK governments, which has now been shown to be “wrong” and led to a higher death toll.
The MPs concluded that the “decisions on lockdowns and social distancing during the early weeks of the pandemic – and the advice that led to them – rank as one of the most important public health failures the United Kingdom has ever experienced”.

You have provided no proof of your statement.
@ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ All a question of your perception. The latest info on the Pandemic Issue in Britain is mixed bag at best.
The REACT-1 study, led by Imperial College London, is the latest to find that more children are getting infected with COVID-19 following the reopening of schools at the start of September. read more
Infection numbers in Britain are currently much higher than in other western European countries, with more than 30,000 new cases reported every day this month, but have not risen above summer levels following the return of schools in England despite the higher infection rates in children.
‘REACT-1 study round 14: High and increasing prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among school-aged children during September 2021 and vaccine effectiveness against infection in England’ by Marc Chadeau-Hyam et al. was posted online at 00:01 UK time on Thursday 14 October 2021.

Good grief mate, are you really as thick as spuds?
UK have done very well with vaccine rollout. I think that should be undisputed.
But you state that they "totally f....d up Covid 19 Vaccine Campaign." Then when challenged you spout everything covid except vaccine.
It's not a question of perception, it's a question of intelligence.

The UK also conducts more tests that any other major country by a significant margin, the last number I saw was 4000 tests per 1000 people, while the rest of the G12 were all around 1500 per 1000.Expatissimo wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 9:34 amInfection numbers in Britain are currently much higher than in other western European countries, with more than 30,000 new cases reported every day this month
The UK also does more sequencing, hence more variants discovered and tracked here first. A lot of this isn't because the UK is "better", it's mainly because we have a large biotech industry and high population density which made the logistics easier.

It’s kinda weird isn’t it? The U.K. is currently reporting 40000 cases a day and it’s barely registering as a news item now, presumably because the vast majority of new cases are kids and young people or the vaccinated, who are experiencing no severe illness.
There are also around 100-120 deaths a day, mostly the very old or clinically vulnerable but to be honest this is roughly the same number of the same people who would die of flu at this time of year anyway.

New on here.
Welcome to Plague Island.
You can get a Covid-19 Self-Test ( Rapid Antigen Test ) here on Plague Island free of charge at any Pharmacy in the UK.
You get to test yourself in the comfort of your own home without any witnesses present at the time. So, if you test positive and have 4 days work planned, you can simply send in a negative result. Or maybe if you fancy a couple of days on Margate beach you can say you tested positive Hence the 40,000 cases a day. Not saying they are all on Margate beach of course, Who would want to.
The government here don`t give a Flying Fuck.

Probably because they spent the last 1-2 years championing ever harsher response measures and telling us about post lockdown end of days scenarios.
Then we opened up completely and nothing……
Reminds me a lot of Brexit actually.
