At last a movement aimed at correcting the great lie. Anyone, especially those with Irish roots, should declare their belief that our ancestors were the victims of a planned programme of starvation. No longer shall we accept the old lie, that the failure of the potato crops caused the million deaths. It was part of an Imperial policy to deprive the people of food while bribing the youngest males to populate English armies in foreign adventure. Starving masses rarely fight back nor ask for the return of their lands, nor a vote nor a future.
