The last englishman who mentioned it was the righteous judgement of god (and lets not forget the english attitude was one of the irish having sex too much and being too lazy.....kinda making you wonder who exactly built their railways and canal systems).....well he got the sack, in fairness he didnt kill anyone......Trevelyan killed 1.5 million people and a further 2 million emigrated as a direct result.
Mind you, there's plenty other examples of people like that guy p*ssing all over english people......they had the same opinion of poor english people, they were selective in the bits of Adam Smith's works which they chose to read......something that has carried on to this very day.
Indeed one chap even advised the poor to sell their babies.
Sadly we're not talking 500 years ago - we're talking about the type of thinking which todays economic theory is built upon, it makes you wonder when the LC go on about modernising taxi law - then preach a free market theory based before 1847!
Then theres Lloyd George and Winston Churchill who sent the Black and Tans in both Liberals at the time ie SCUM, and this lot the coalition are proving worthy successors modern day scum
couldnt make it up
