In fairness to Jim Ratcliffe, he has always put the UK economy and its jobs first. Like in 2010, when he shifted the corporate headquarters of INEOS to Switzerland and, around the move, sliced 4,000 jobs (a third of the workforce) out of the business in two years. A true patriot

Football must reject Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s cynical, self-serving electioneering | Barney Ronay Tax exile has already proven himself a terrible club owner; now his ill-informed diatribe about immigration has poured fuel on wider flames

Absolutely brilliant piece by @barneyronay.bsky.social on the deliberate cynicism of Sir Jim Hitler's confected immigrants tantrum. Nail meets head.

We all need to stop listening to billionaires.

Document showing details of change to extended loan by Manchester United with Bank of America, using mortgaged property and land of the club.

The Glazers at Manchester United take out an extended loan with Bank of America to increase debts on the club, while Ratcliffe distracts attention with his racist comments. The stadium and land are collateral, of course.
Classic diversionary tactics. Disgusting.
#GlazersOut #RatcliffeOut

The FA have ‘fit & proper’ rules for Premiership club ownership. Ratcliffe and the Glazers don’t come anywhere near them. It’s way overdue time for them to get out of our club. Enough already. #RatcliffeOut #GlazersOut #MUFCFamily #ImmigrantsWelcome

Mayor of Manchester, Andy Burnham, has hit out witha SCATHING statement on Sir Jim Ratcliffe following his immigration comments 😬

Britain has been colonised by billionaires, not migrants Sir Jim Ratcliffe has benefitted from the state for his whole life

Britain has been colonised by billionaires, not migrants

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has benefitted from the state for his whole life

By Andy Twelves

The FA is investigating Jim Ratcliffe he could be declared a person unfit to run a football club and forced to sell his share in Manchester United.

🤣

Extract from article… starting with his obnoxious comments yesterday and a photo of Ratcliffe. Sir Jim Ratcliffe said Britain faces profound political, social and economic challenges, among them an unprecedented rise in immigration in recent years; Warning: Please be aware the language below could cause offence • Thursday 12 February 2026 12:40, UK sky sports news Sir Jim Ratcliffe speaks on immigration in the UK. Manchester United have been contacted for comment

In a statement on Thursday, Ratcliffe said: "I am sorry that my choice of language has offended some people in the UK and Europe and caused concern but it is important to raise the issue of controlled and well-managed immigration that supports economic growth. "My comments were made while answering questions about UK policy at the European Industry Summit in Antwerp, where I was discussing the importance of economic growth, jobs, skills and manufacturing in the UK. "My intention was to stress that governments must manage migration alongside investment in skills, industry and jobs so that long-term prosperity is shared by everyone. It is critical that we maintain an open debate on the challenges facing the UK."

Just to be clear. That’s not an apology. That’s a total rewriting of what he said and what he meant, while he cowers behind his ‘oh so reasonable’ set of ‘I’m not racist but…’ excuses.

Enough of this contempt for us all. We see you Ratcliffe. We know what you are.

Well if nothing else good comes of this week, at least Jim Ratcliffe knows how universally loathed he is now.

Racist rhetoric from Man United owner Jim Ratcliffe, who also says Nigel Farage has "good intentions". In fitting with, and an extension of, his treatment of workers at INEOS Grangemouth and United.

Jim Ratcliffe went on a racist rant today claiming the UK has been colonised and spreading lies that immigration is 5x higher than it is.

All this coming from a man who claimed to live in Monaco so he could dodge £4bn in tax.

HMRC should bill him, then deport him.

"This feeds into the far-right trope that migrants in the UK are imposing their culture and language on us," says @lewisgoodall.com.

Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick and now Manchester Utd co-owner Jim Ratcliffe – has extreme language about migrants become 'normalised' in the UK?

🔴The Lesson Jim Ratcliffe Could Learn From My Immigrant Father-in-Law

The billionaire Manchester United owning tax exile says Britain has been “colonised” by immigrants but he could learn much from the hard working migrants who have made their lives in this country, says @sangitamyska.bsky.social

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

Jim Ratcliffe abandoned workers in Grangemouth and fled to Monaco to avoid paying taxes in the UK.

His hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Another super-rich man blaming immigrants for the problems caused by billionaires.

.
Billionaire tax exile Jim Ratcliffe who lives in Monaco fails to understand that the NHS, the care sector, the hospitality sector etc would all collapse without migrant workers - so like it or not we are lucky to have them!

Matthew Syed, "Jim Ratcliffe is quite an obnoxious character"

"He talks about himself as a great patriot and wraps himself in the union jack"

"I don't like the language, we have not been colonised"

Sir(?) Jim Ratcliffe is a tax exile so he should know all about draining resources from the state.

Jim Ratcliffe and the art of shamelessness Immigrant billionaire owner of Manchester United condemns immigrants – just the poor ones, though

"Proud recipient of a £50m taxpayer bailout for Ineos’s Grangemouth plant in October – courtesy of the very system he spits upon was Jim Ratcliffe. Nonetheless he finds the energy to criticise people on benefits."

Jim Ratcliffe Sort Of Apologises For Claiming 'The UK Is Being Colonised' By Migrants The Manchester United co-owner said he was "sorry" if some people were offended by his comments.

Jim Ratcliffe says he's sorry if people were offended by what he said about "the UK being colonised" by migrants.

A classic of the non-apology apology genre

BREAKING: Addressing the comments made by Jim Ratcliffe, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Ministry of Justice Jake Richards tells Sky’ Sophy Ridge

“the language used around colonization is ugly and actually quite offensive and frankly wrong”

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

Presumably Jim Ratcliffe, who colonised Monaco, excludes Man Utd's multi-national squad from his claim that Britain has been "colonised by immigrants."

It turns out that in addition to being a tax dodger Jim Ratcliffe makes stuff up.
