Pride & Extreme Prejudice - Charles Sibthorp MP 1852

If it's new, different or foreign - he hates it!
Get whipped up into an outraged frenzy with the 19th century's most reactionary politician -  Charles De Laet Waldo Sibthorp.
It's a blustering tale of outrage, offence, & old fashioned values.

• What was so offensive about trains?
• How did Sibthorp manage to infuriate Queen Victoria?
• Why did he rush from a brothel to the House of Commons?
• Was there anything he didn't complain about?

Find out all the answers in episode 21 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - the podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.
( Who do the initials CB refer to?) 
 
An anti-reform British politician who amused and scandalised parliament during the Victorian era with his eccentric opinions. Redefining the word 'Conservative' his traditionalism, opposition to change and 'Colonel Blimp' style demeanour secured the moaning Member of Parliament’s place in British political history. 
If you think everything was better in the old days, you'll really enjoy this episode.

Thanks for listening. Stay Roguish!
