Nah mate - you're off message. Every single British person for the last millennia and for ever more hate all Irish people and want to kill every single one of them in cold blood.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.
