""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?""
""These comments go against everything for which Manchester has traditionally stood: a place where people of all races, faiths and none have pulled together over centuries to build our city and our institutions, including Manchester United FC. "Calling for curbs on levels of immigration is one thing; portraying those who come here as a hostile invading force is quite another. It is inaccurate, insulting, inflammatory and should be withdrawn.""
""Footballers who have arrived from all over the world to play in Greater Manchester have enhanced the life of our city-region, as have the many people working in Greater Manchester's NHS and other essential services and industries. "We appreciate their contribution as a city-region famous for the warmth of our welcome. If any criticism is needed, it should be directed towards those who have offered little contribution to our life her"
Sir Jim Ratcliffe 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." He added, "The UK has been colonised by immigrants, really, hasn't it?" Ratcliffe is co-owner of Manchester United after buying a 27.7% stake in February 2024. He founded chemical company Ineos and lives in Monaco. Manchester mayor Andy Burnham called the remarks inaccurate, insulting, inflammatory and urged their withdrawal. Burnham praised immigrants' contributions to football, the NHS and other industries. Prime Minister Keir Starmer also called for the remarks to be withdrawn.
