There may have been individuals within the British citizenry who independently did the best moral actions they could in the circumstances, but there's documented evidence that the political body at large and their leadership at best did not care an iota for an any and all deaths in the Irish due to the consequences of their leadership, or at worst actively hoped and planned for the deaths to remove an inconvenient people.

That's cool - maybe if they had stopped people committing a genocide then they'd get credit for that instead of just writing a check to wash their hands clean of the guilt.
