If Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the billionaire businessman and co-owner of Manchester United, had only followed the wise advice of Irish missionary Amy Carmichael that “Let nothing be said about anyone unless it passes through the three sieves: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?” he would have saved us all from his bigoted, ill-informed rant on the UK being colonized by immigrants.

What made the Manchester United co-owner’s anti-immigrant screed so revolting was his brazen willingness to say it all out loud. Remind you of anyone?

Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe's claims the UK has been "colonised by immigrants" will not lead to any sanction by the Football Association.
