Ratcliffe getting ready to stand for Reform

'UK has been colonised by immigrants', says INEOS boss and Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe

In an interview with Sky News's Ed Conway, Sir Jim says Britain faces profound political, social and economic challenges, among them an unprecedented rise in immigration in recent years.

Wonder what the 19 out of 31 foreign nationals in his team think about this?

Interesting take from a bloke who wouldn’t look out of place sleeping in a doorway.

And who lives in Monaco.

 

[ccfctommy]

He's a c**t. He's the chairman of a football club. Who on earth asked his opinion on politics?

The gall of him. Doesn't he live in Monaco? Does he ay any tax here at all. Fucking Carpetbagger.

 

[PVA]

Fucking state of that.

1 – Totally makes up immigration figures
2 - Complains about number of immigrants in the UK while living in a country made up of 70% immigrants
3 – Complains about the state of the UK while doing everything he can to limit how much tax he contributes to the UK


Old Brexit voter in being ill-informed and racist shocker

Making numbers up without challenge

At least Sky News called him out on his fictional population figures this morning.
Not that the wanker will care as the no-necks will believe anything thrown at them.

He's too busy this morning sacking a couple of tea ladies to trim a bit more off the budget, so he won't be too bothered.

This is all quite triggering for some on here, but what he's saying is how a lot of the country feel. The fact Reform are leading the polls suggests just as much.

Whether he lives in Monaco or didn't get the numbers accurate to the nearest one isn't really relevant.

The UK is in a really bad place at the moment, and the level of immigration is a big part of the reason why.

So when people make up numbers that go with what you want to believe that's fine. If someone else comes out later and makes up some bullshit figures suggesting immigration is really low that wouldn't really be relevant either.

Just because people 'feel' something doesn't make them right. And part of the reason why they feel like that you have to ask who's putting those arguments forward and why? Is it because perhaps the biggest problem isn't actually the immigrants and is actually people like Ratcliffe being greedy fuckers, taking lots and giving nothing back?

Haha. "Doesn't really matter if the billionaire guy who doesn't live in the UK made up the figures...."

Child down the road kidnapped and raped in areas some of our kids will have to walk through.

Some old gimp spouts shit

Never change. Might have to compare who was outraged at people pointing out a bloke in women's boxing for a laugh.

So I could counter that by saying immigration isn't an issue because only 27 immigrants arrived in the last few years and you'd just accept it because that's how I feel, even though I've made the numbers up.

Only if every time you acknowledged that only immigrants rape children and if we’d not let anyone in crime would disappear

Stand down everyone. While sittiing by his pool sipping cocktails, the billionaire has apologised.

Politics latest: Sir Jim Ratcliffe: Sorry my language has offended people

With respect, none of you are actually taking this point and talking about it in an adult way, or have the ability to acknowledge immigration has been a problem, which it is clearly has been in the UK. It has been getting worse over the last few decades. The majority of the country feel like it is a massive issue, and do not need Ratcliffe to make their points for them. Getting caught up on where the bloke lives, or talking about whether the problem is really bad, or really really bad, is frankly playing the man instead of the ball. If he lived in Manchester and hadn't bundled the numbers, you would still be offended, but most likely wouldn't be talking about it.

There is a good chance Reform win the next election. The attitude in your three comments I have quoted is doing more for that than someone like Jim Ratcliffe.
