I don't want to argue about this either. But you are wrong here. You aren't just implying -- you are stating outright -- that *I* am the one raising the spectre of The Famine. That I am the one deciding to link that tragedy to brexit. Which would be a pretty vile thing to do right? It's a vile thing you're accusing me of, right? And I agree.
Except it's not me doing it, is it? It's a tory front-bench minister. Just three months ago. Very loudly. And THAT's what I was referring to, which I assumed was obvious.
I used an admittedly exaggerated and satirical phrase (though no worse than you'll hear even on mainstream comedy shows here in Ireland). But all I was doing was referring to something vile that was said by a member of the British government about Ireland.
