Hey, i hate the british too, but the article doesn't directly blame the british for the famines and it also includes famines that took place in non-british held or administrated territories.

Nevertheless, it does point out that in many cases, british administration worsened the situation.

It also just one territory, I'm sure the Irish also have a few bones to pick.

Though speaking of time advantage, the best answer might be "mosquitos", and while "blood sucking insects" could be a name for british colonists, they didn't spread malaria since the dawn of humanity
