Jim Ratcliffe lives in Monaco to avoid paying UK taxes, and joins billionaire class like Elon Musk in blaming immigration for country's ills. His numbers are complete bollocks. But his message pushes people to blame immigrants instead of looking where the wealth is really going. Fuck him!

 

[give it to gordon]

Only read the first paragraph. But isnt he and his companies like ineos and rags doing what he is moaning about. Taking funds out of the UK by avoiding taxes

 

[BlueBas]

Just realised, it's only a couple of weeks to Gorton & Denton by-election. This kind of rhetoric could push people to vote reform.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Tax dodging scruffy ****.

 

[M18CTID]

I wonder if he also said that Monaco is being colonised by tax-dodging scruffy cunts such as himself?

 

[Gabriel]

Imagine a few eyebrows might be raised amongst the Monégasques…

 

[KS55]

Those damn Anglo-Saxons colonising us.

 

[tornandfrayed]

It's like the British Empire never existed.

 

[Blue and true]

Tax dodging scruffy ****.

Yes, but he's not a parasite for hoarding billions in off-shore tax havens, mate. That would be the desperate family of Syrians coming over to live in one room hovels and strive for basic livelihood.

 

[waspish]

A tax dodging multi billionaire sporting absolute poison! This country has grown with all the immigration over its history! Illegal immigration is a different story..

Should have got his facts right, but talking about immigration isn’t a crime and it certainly isn’t racist. Keir Starmer said something similar a few months back, now he’s asking for scruffy Jim to apologise.

Pretty sure Starmer apologised for his "island of strangers" comment mate

The scruffy **** pontificating about immigration is akin to a rag or dippers fan who doesn’t go to any games going on about empty seats at the Etihad.

 

[We've got Guardiola]

A quote from billionaire Jim on rebuilding Old Trafford:

"If it can be achieved with taxpayers' money, it would clearly be my preference"

And how much of public funds did the 'foreigners' Mansour or Mubarak demand to regenerate East Manchester, not a single penny.

F*** off back to Monaco.

Monaco: Ethnic groups: French (47%), Monegasque (16%), Italian (16%), other (21%)

Yeah but he still said it, it’s easy to apologise about something and not mean it. The issue we’ve got is our political parties are struggling to appease the population, you don’t know if to believe if anything that comes out of their mouths.

Scruffy Jim didn’t really do well to put his point across seeing as he got his facts wrong, I just don’t think what he said is racist but if anyone does then that’s their opinion.

 

[Metal Biker]

He wants a reason to be 'forced' out of the club before he loses all his money.

That should do it.

and how many of the people he employs in the UK in reciept of in work benefits - part of that 9 million he despises?

Yeah, I wasn't happy when Starmer said that because it sounded like the kind of rhetoric that Reform come out with.

We can debate all day as to what scruffy Jim said was racist or not. What I do know is that it was inflammatory and emboldens those with racist views. It was also downright hypocritical of a tax-dodging **** who resides in another country to come out with it. I'm sick of these billionaire rich cunts - who don't even live in our country because they don't want to pay the requisite amount of tax - coming out with this shite and blaming immigrants for all the problems we have. There's nothing wrong with a constructive debate about immigration but he's the last person who should be spouting off.

Yeah I can’t argue with some of that, I do think it’s rich of him seeing as he lives in Monaco.
