So I searched for "Peel Corn Laws" and found a biography of Peel. Very,very impressive. Makes it clear that he was on of those great Englishmen who made Britain truly great.
Robert Peel might have some wonderful atributes, but you're libel to find a few here who wouldn't 'praise' the 'Corn Laws' that had grain exported from ireland (while millions died of stravation) in order to 'maintain' price support for grain in england.
i guess its a matter of which side you were on... the rich and middle classes of england were provided with cheap 'corn', while the irish died...
