the ENGLISH? hardly! the english spent centuries trying to make sure ireland had sufficient food one of the great english men of letters of the 18th century famously devoted an entire treatise to the matter https://t.co/tSACnpYfHc
and thats just the kind of helpful people the english are the first time english forces landed in ireland, they arrived to expel viking colonizers from the land of their irish-british brethren in the later williamite war James II led a desperate fight to repel the vile Dutch https://t.co/CNIhDf0h0c
