nah the irish btfo'd themselves to the US by planting imported diseased foreign potatoes and starving themselves.

In Australia, the Irish were generally the convicts while the english were the military. Ned Kelly for instance was irish whereas the troopers that harassed him and his family and ultimately went after him formally were english. (not actually defending him, just relaying part of the tale)

Didn’t know you got the mics. We got Brits (criminals). The other states weren’t a penal state like Georgia.

yeah we got plenty of them, they were very much a part of the underclass of victorian england, plus this was well before the troubles when conflict was out and out both civil (monarchist vs independant) and religious (irish catholic, monarchist anglican/protestant)
