Guardian view on Sir Jim Ratcliffe: Britain does not need political lectures from a billionaire tax exile | Editorial Editorial: Comments on the ‘colonisation of the UK’ by the co-owner of Manchester United were erroneous, crass and a gif

In 2020, Jim Ratcliffe moved his fortune to Monaco, saving himself an estimated £4 billion in tax.

In the same year, immigrants in the UK contributed around £20 billion in tax.

That says it all.

The BBC boycott is going well then… @mrjamesob.bsky.social

And by "our country" I assume you mean the United Arab Emirates where you live?

Another cosy chat therefore.

If you’re preparing to interview a known liar, the very least you could do is swot up on the very stuff he is most likely to tell lies about.

Immigrants paid £17 billion in personal taxes last year.

Jim Ratcliffe paid ZERO in personal taxes last year.

Jim Ratcliffe, like many British billionaires,
is so patriotic he helped fund Brexit
blamed migration for the UK's woes
then migrated to avoid paying British taxes
and is now looking to fund Reform Ltd
to make sure it will never #TaxTheRich

Farage is a grifter for the #EpsteinClass

On behalf of a few people from Manchester. Fuck off Jim Ractclife you racist tax dodging, Brexit supporting twat. I know loads of Man Utd fans that agree!

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

Finally some sense. Maybe the government needs to hold a seminar to remind themselves what it means to be a free, tolerant, society.

Johnson partied as pensioners died alone. Why didn't Johnson get this pressure to resign. Farage appointed a Russian Agent as the leader of Reform UK in Wales. Why doesn't Farage get this pressure to resign The answer is the Tory Press.

Sathnam Sanghera: what Jim Ratcliffe got wrong about immigration Britain is a multicultural country because it ran a multicultural empire. Would he undo the sacrifice my ancestors made?

Feels like I am going to have to keep writing this piece every other fortnight, forever. @thetimes.com

How long are we going to hear about “legitimate debates and concerns about immigration?” It’s time we told the truth and deal with it. Net migration is low, we need more migrants, we are an ageing population. Highly skilled and low paid jobs are dependent on migrants. We need safe and legal routes.

When you begin a statement with "I am sorry that my choice of language has offended some people..." you are absolutely NOT apologising. You are trying to excuse yourself.

Good response to Jim Ratcliffe's appalling comment on immigration.

@jakerichardsmp.bsky.social: "Jim Ratcliffe has moved to Monaco to save £4 billion worth of tax in this country, one might question whether he is the patriot that we need to comment on this issue."

Why does a billionaire living in Monaco think the UK has been ‘colonised’ by migrants? | The News Agents Jim Ratcliffe, believed to be the seventh-richest Brit in the world, has faced backlash for claims the UK has been “colonised” by migrants. Has this language been normalised in Britain?

"I have a hunch more Brits would say they prefer people, immigrants or not, who pay their taxes, rather than billionaires who bugger off to Monaco and don’t," says Emily Maitlis.

Jim Ratcliffe, she adds, is "out of his depth" with his 'colonisation' claims

www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

Ratcliffe is an immigrant in Monaco, where immigrants have properly taken over. Maybe being rich makes him think its different for him. Massive Hypocrite.

His earlier comments to Sky News, external had drawn criticism from Manchester United fan groups. He said: "You can't have an economy with nine million people on benefits and huge levels of immigrants coming in. "I mean, the UK has been colonised. It's costing too much money. The UK has been colonised by immigrants, really, hasn't it?" He incorrectly claimed the population of the UK had risen by 12 million to 70 million people in the last five years. The Office for National Statistics estimates it has actually risen from 66.7 million to 69.4 million, an increase of less than three million.

Ratcliffe made an "incorrect claim" according to the BBC which is, as always, absolutely feeble when it comes speaking truth to power. No, he made it up you bunch of craven weasels.
