Some thoughts on Blood Legacy - Reckoning With A Family’s History of Slavery, by Alex Renton: 0tralala.blogspot.com/2024/04/blood-…
It may or may not be difficult for Barbados' goverment to confiscate this land which the #Drax family have enriched themselves from, but said family ought to do the right thing, as others are doing, & consider putting this £3mil into a #Reparations pot. theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…
This is right-winger Richard Grosvenor Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax MP. He also owns Charcombe Park and 15,000 acres in Dorset, largely derived from his ancestors' slavery-funded wealth. One of its features is called Sugar Hill. #reparations @heirsofslavery @plashmar
