There's a car chase in here btw lads so hang around
-
He lost his seat fair play to the people of Dorset
-
Richard Drax Lost the election in 2024 for Labour MP Lloyd Hatton.
-
Most of those that lived off of slaves, sugar, alcohol opium and gun-running are still 'well-connected' today in the UK!
-
A Tory grandee. Absolutely no idea how ordinary folk live. Vote him out of Parliament and good riddance!!!
-
Just imagine if the BBC were to pursue stories like these...
-
My wife has traced her family's lineage to slaves owned by Drax. When we visited Barbados we snuck on to the Drax estate, to stand where countless of her ancestors toiled, died and were buried, in un-marked graves. The place feels cursed by the blood its built on. The current Drax won't even allow access to the land for archeology to be done. Doesn't want the litteral bodies to be uncovered. Makes me sick.
-
The people of Britain paid this family millions to quit slavery and they kept all the money, he doesn't give two flying fucs.
-
Drax lost his job as an MP on Thursday to a Labour guy.. The sweetness of Schadenfreude!! 🤣
-
I was born in this constituency. Some of my earliest memories are driving past it and the wall of his estate is virtually never ending
-
People love a bit of evil as long as it's confident and wears a nice suit.
-
I saw a post just last month, June 2024, where the President of Barbados refused to send him £3 million for this year. I was so pleased to see this. Well done for posting this.
-
These Rich people always say things like “ we worked dam hard for what we achieved “ which actually means “ other people work Dam hard and suffered to make them rich”
-
A family so vile Ian Fleming named a bond villain after them
-
strange how you never get a poor Tory MP
-
Seeing this today and knowing this bloke lost his mp seat is…. chefs kiss
-
Richard's brother Jeremy Drax is listed in 'Jeffrey Epstein's 'Little Black Book'.
-
That activist hit the nail on the head when he said that Drax has everything to say about immigrants, welfare ect, and nothing to say about the welfare of his constituents. I should think this typifies the majority of the Tory MP's.
-
If you're not responsible for the actions of your ancestors, you also shouldn't derive any benefit from their actions.
-
The Drax plantations in Barbados is a crime scene. It is worth millions My ancestors are buried there. No decent burial.
