Gary Lineker, "Jim Ratcliffe is a migrant himself, an economic migrant, he lives in Monaco"

"A lot of the immigrants contribute enormously, and the facts show you that, in terms of revenue, paying tax etc"

"Whereas Jim in Monaco, is doing everything he can to avoid paying tax"

Oooh exciting. We’re heading to France for 6 weeks from mid April, first time in the van 😱. Arriving at St Malo and heading SW or wherever the wind (or sun) takes us. Enjoy ☺️
