Jim Ratcliffe, the Monaco-based billionaire and co-owner of Manchester United, has apologised after claiming that the UK was being 'colonised by immigrants'. The remarks have sparked widespread outrage, with critics labelling them hypocritical and reminiscent of 'far-right narratives'.
Ratcliffe expressed regret over his choice of language, stating he was sorry that it had offended some people. However, the backlash continues to mount, with many pointing out the irony of a tax exile making such comments.
Sports writer and columnist Jonathan Liew discussed the controversy with Lucy Hough, highlighting the disconnect between Ratcliffe's lifestyle and his statements on immigration. The incident has reignited debates about immigration rhetoric among the wealthy elite.
