Still EnglishYou're a British citizen.
That's what St Patrick's day is all about. Turning one of the most appalling genocides in British and Irish history into one of the greatest celebrations.
I am only trying to correct basic errors on this thread.
There was no famine. The Irish language didn't just die out. There was a prolonged and tyrannical mechanism in place to destroy Ireland.
That is why there are groups in Ireland that still feel strongly about it.
Genocide.
Genocide.
Why do you continue to respond to the fact that you are British with the answer "I was born an Irish citizen". It has zero relevance to you being British and hence part of the "genocide".Did they ever do that?
St Patrick's Day was first made a big celebration in America by the Irish forced to leave their country during the oppressive rule of Britain.
I was born an Irish citizen.
I am not asking for an apology, just that you accept what happened.
The horrors that were perpetrated.
The injustices.
The murders.
The cruelty.
It seems there is a complete rejection of what is extremely well known and accepted as the facts of what happened.
I find it endlessly curious.
Of course.Still English

What would you call it?
I'm struggling to see what her agenda is unless it is simply to stir up hatred between British and Irish people. Given that she is both British and Irish its a very strange thing to do.Good God in Heaven
St. Patrick's Day is a Catholic festival. It is the celebration of St. Patrick becoming a Saint. St. Patrick who was British brought Christianity to Ireland. He chased the snakes (pagans) from the land and build places of worship. The shamrock ☘ represents the holy trinity.
St. Patrick's Day later became a national holiday. It's a celebration of being Irish and has spread because diaspora. It's got nothing to do with the famine or British rule.
Please stop talking shite to suit your agenda.
St Patrick’s day has fuck all to do with the famine. It is a celebration of a religious saint. You keep trying to rewrite history and have been proven wrong time and time again.Did they ever do that?

It wasn't a genocide."Genocide - the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular nation or ethnic group."
A large group of people were killed to keep Tory & Whig land-owning farmers in their pomp and circumstance.
Pretty much what the guide at Doagh famine village in Donegal told an American visitor who though the British starved the people of ireland as an act of revenge.It wasn't a genocide.
Irish people relied on potatoes. Because of the land acts Irish farmers had only had small plots of land. The only crops they could grow was potatoes. This was especially the case in the south and the west of Ireland where the land was infertile and still is. When the crop failed 3m people were left without food. They couldn't grow anything else. Because of the political and class systems of the time, the poor served the rich. It was the same in Britain.
Britain offered aid relief at the beginning but a change in government meant the aid relief was stopped.
Well that was what we learned in school and what we told at the famine museum a few months back.Pretty much what the guide at Doagh famine village in Donegal told an American visitor who though the British starved the people of ireland as an act of revenge.
They must have read cat Ryan’s special history books
