Never heard of him until today. Sometimes history just likes to remember bad people.

The world could do with many more of his ilk.

Great story, it would make a good film. You can understand how Liverpool became such an Irish place as well. It was only a few hours away by boat, but a whole different world. My grandmother was born in St Helens in 1876 , so still a lot of emigration from Ireland well after the famine.

He was an incredibly generous man, there are few like him
