    Absolutely right. The Liberal government of the time should have intervened, that's what governments are for. But Lord Russell thought private enterprise would solve the problem, and that giving state aid to Ireland in the form of free grain from India would encourage dependence and undermine the free market.

    No.

    I meant for your continued readership of the daily fail.

    Anti-English racism is rampant in Stirling <doh> Give me a break you boring bastard.

    For the record. I'd have ****ing torn her bunting down as well. Only ****ing *****s of the highest caliber put up bunting, that's why you see it at car dealerships.

    "It&#8217;s getting like Northern Ireland, with all the hatred and sectarianism. It doesn&#8217;t matter who wins on September 18, it&#8217;s only going to get worse."

    The words of an English woman who lives there but what would you know you drug addled mess?

    <laugh>I take it back as I have clearly offended real cretins everywhere by comparing them with you.

    "Haggis" and "Braveheart"? You missed out "Porridge", "deep fried Mars bars", and Och Aye the noo Jimmy, so i'm going to have to deduct points for unoriginality and mark you down as a slabbering imbecile alongside anyone who reads the Daily Mail.

    Well, the extreme form of laissez faire was that the Government wouldn't even let a lot of private charity help, lest it interfere in trade. There was a famous case of the people of Massachusetts sending a ship of grain to Ireland that English authorities placed in storage claiming that dumping free grain would disturb free market prices (which ironically is Government intervention, and not laissez faire at all). They did eventually go for 'market friendly' intervention to set up work houses and soup kitchens, but they made sure that these paid much less than the market. A lot of people ended up starving by burning up more calories building roads to nowhere than they were actually given by the workhouses.

    If there is such Anti English feeling why were English residents in Scotland given a vote?

    The Jews in the Weimar Republic had a vote. And look what happened to them.

    My day is not complete without me watching the Director's cut of Braveheart. My DVD player is kaput so i'm getting withdrawal symptoms, hence my ire.
