And it is a catchy tittle, it is wrong.

By the way by no means defending the Brits. They committed genocide in both Scotland and Ireland. But is hard to call it by somebody's name who was not yet even conceived.

To be clear, it was racial cleansing to replace both Irish and Scotts with propper English, and a part of history that is mostly forgotten today.

Appart of titte, bravo for exposing it.
