Andrew Black : >£200 million (2016)  Wiki

On 3 August 2009 Black announced that he was going into partnership with Michael Owen with regard to Owen's Manor House Stables; Tom Dascombe has been hired as trainer and the stated ambition is to own and train Group 1 horses on the Flat.[7]

Black is the joint owner of racehorse Brown Panther who won the Goodwood Cup in 2013. In 2014 Brown Panther won the Irish St. Leger by six lengths.[8]

he was probly worth that before the floatation !

His grandfather was a Tory MP.
Famous for campaigning against vices like sex and gambling.

Would that be Gladstone, salmon?

Gladstone being the one with an interest in ladies of the night.

After him. I remember Sir Cyril Black.

And Gladstone was a Liberal,though he certainly had an interest in "fallen women".

Not heard of him, 1950s was he?

I always thought Gladstone was a Tory for some reason. Those liberals have always been a bit dodgy what with Thorpe and Lloyd George.

He retired in 1970. I think he was on TV a fair bit in the 60s. I doubt I would have seen him in the 50s. He launched a private prosecution against " Last Exit to Brooklyn" .The novel not the film.

Interesting salmon, I must look him up later on today.

Gladstone WAS a Tory early in his career but was a Liberal by the time he became PM. If you want a really dodgy Liberal look up Loulou Harcourt.

I have heard about Harcourt but just can't recall what it was now. I will check that as well
