Drax is not just a Bond villain - it’s a real life villain here in Britain - simultaneously consuming vast amounts of public money (£11 billion and counting) and millions of ancient trees from Canada.

Lord Bamford owes £500,000,000 to HMRC he has retired from the House of Lords and fled.

He expects his debt just like Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 debt to be written off.

We must recover every penny from these thieves, and toss them in jail.

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

She needs to be released immediately.

The hyper-rich continue to invest huge sums in acquiring control of media”

We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.
