Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Romans enslaved Ireland for their labor, depopulating the island for to serve on british plantations.

Then the British deported many Irish to the Caribbean and/or pressed them into indentured service, that’s why there is like Irish influence in Patois and Bajan creole.

Of course the miserable economic conditions intentionally fostered meant that Irish people became a main source of cheap industrial manpower for the factories of the US and UK.
