I have studied the highland clearances this year, and I just wishj to say they were terrible. I read in pieces about newspapers of the time, that for instnace 100s died of typhus in teh famines of teh 1840s,. and others in other famines. I also read that many 100s died of fatigue of being evicted from the villages they had lived in. And that the local lairds, I use taht word with horror, as teh word to me now is an insult, became some of the richest people in britain. People died of cholera on teh terrible ships to Americva, Some ships may have been ok,. but travelling in thos times was allways dangerous. And in the 1831, cholera epidemic Inverness was affected twice as badly per head as London. I also read that the thing was never recognised as bad, by either the British monarchym, or British right wing elite. And there have allways been claims, it was accidental, and tehy allways have lies, Fotr instance a recent ine claims that the Clearances did not happen. And that the famines did nlot happen. He said as there ware no mass graves it did not happen. This view is insane. Lets face it there are no mass graves to the udf or ira kills, but that does not mean they did not kill anybody. They died individallu of these famines. I read newspaper of the Times, which said they did. Now the mad rightists will claim teh Times, was leiing, and wrong. And that the Times,. of teh 1840s was a marxist politically correct newspaper , evenm though it was owned by facsit lords, and millionaires. I think these peopel who write these holocaust denial histories are going to hell.
