No, Britain created many problems in Ireland and it's no wonder the Irish feel a little bitter towards us.

The genocidal tactics the British employed against the Irish in the early 19th century was disgusting. But it's a shame both countries are now being colonised by the Muslims and the Africans. That's what really gives me the sh!ts when the IRA are described as 'terrorists'. Doesn't anyone know what goes around comes around?

You're looking for a simple answer to a complicated question. Sorry, can't help you there.
If it will make you happier, I'll readily affirm that Britain's indifference to the suffering in Ireland during the famine of the 1830's is probably the most shameful event in our history. But then, name me a country that doesn't have shameful events in its past.
Though it may be the most infamous episode in Anglo-Irish history, however, the Famine is not the be-all and end-all.
