Britain’s seventh-richest man, who vocally backed Brexit then moved to Monaco, also hits out at people on benefits
The billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who moved to tax-free Monaco in 2020, has claimed that the UK is being “colonised” by immigrants.
Speaking in an interview with Sky News, Britain’s seventh-richest man and the part-owner of Manchester United FC took aim at people receiving state support and immigrants.
“You can’t afford … you can’t have an economy with 9 million people on benefits and huge levels of immigrants coming in,” he said. “The UK is being colonised by immigrants, really, isn’t it?
“I mean, the population of the UK was 58 million in 2020, now it’s 70 million. That’s 12 million people.”
