Private Eye calling several councils Rotten Boroughs this morning on Twitter, that predates Victoria. Suggesting they are back to the kind of management that led to The Blackburn, Perterloo and Burnley (among others) Radical reform meetings of 1819. Suggesting the gap between the British elite and average working man is now reaching desperation levels.

The OP has got me confused, primarily because I’m not sure that’s accurate. But I’ve spent more time trying to see if I’m missing a joke. Put me out of my misery please

Queen Victoria, born 24th May 1819, died 22nd January 1901. She died 120 years ago today, and she would have been 201 years old, but I suspect the OP has mixed up her death date with her birth year.

Though on a technicality, she would have been 201 today, just as she would have been yesterday and the day before and every day for the last 8 months. ;)

It's also Francis Bacon's birthday today, he would have been 468 if he was still alive.

Once saw on eBay someone selling a bottle containing queen Victoria’s third to last fart. I bet that doesn’t turn up on Antiques Roadshow.

Time to rip down all of her statues. All of her fame and wealth was stolen off the backs of those less fortunate than her ;)
