      It is a UK history site that open with this:

      Queen Victoria had a majestic sixty-three-year reign… (majestic despite 1-2 million irish starving to death, the majority a direct result of British government policy to use the famine to reform the Irish)

      So I don’t expect anything close to historical balance.
