Tariffs: never any externalities or unintended consequences; you will certainly not regret imposing tariffs.

That implies that Britain didn’t intend those consequences. But Britain has mastered using starvation as a weapon of genocide, in particular by masking it as an “unfortunate” result of taxes and tariffs.

Britain genocided more than ten million people in todays India about a century earlier and then again about three million in todays Bangladesh during World War II.

Britain murdered the Irish very much deliberately.
