Remember that, though the potato crop was devastated by blight, there was always enough #food in #Ireland to feed the #people. The people simply could not afford to buy the food at the prices that #Britain insisted they pay. The British were more concerned that the #Irish people would get something without paying than they were about Irish people starving to death.
Don't forget that the British also blockaded food aid from the #Ottomans to #Dublin, increased evictions, and mandated export of all staples except potatoes.... While also mandating that only the Irish Lumper variety be grown. A particularly bland and flaky type of potato, and highly susceptible to disease, it's only saving graces being size and starch content

'Bulgarians were conditioned to think for decades that they owe their freedom to #Russia because they were liberated from the #Ottomans by #Russian soldiers. And this romantic notion stuck on the bigger brother liberating the little brother. So 24th February, itâs often said in #Bulgarian media didnât change things. It brought to the surface a lot of pro-Russian sentiments that have always been there. In other words the masks fell with a bang - some people went back to factory settings.'
