Even the financial elite are beginning to grasp that a) Ricardo was wrong, b) the economists lied, and c) mass immigration is an economic and corporate disaster:
Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has claimed that Britain has been ‘colonised’ by immigrants who are ‘costing too much money’.
The 73-year-old businessman also questioned whether Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is the right man to lead the country forward in a bombshell new interview, arguing ‘he may be too nice’.
‘You can’t have an economy with nine million people on benefits and huge levels of immigrants coming in,’ the Englishman told Sky News ahead of the European Industry Summit in Antwerp, Belgium.
‘I mean, the UK has been colonised. It’s costing too much money. The UK has been colonised by immigrants, really, hasn’t it? I mean, the population of the UK was 58 million in 2020, now it’s 70 million. That’s 12 million people.
He added: ‘I don’t know whether it’s just the apparatus that hasn’t allowed Keir to do it or, or he’s maybe too nice – I mean, Keir is a nice man.
‘I like him, but it’s a tough job and I think you have to do some difficult things with the UK to get it back on track, because at the moment I don’t think the economy is in a good state.’
The population of the UK was estimated to have been 70 million in mid-2024, according to the Office of National Statistics, three million higher than that recorded during 2020.
I’m sure there were a few Indians who argued that the white settlers were beneficial too. Neither I nor the rest of the 9.7 million surviving American Indians think very much of those short-sighted morons these days.
Why the the people of these small European nations still fail to comprehend that they will be absolutely swamped by Africans, Indians, and Chinese if the present immigration regime survives is truly beyond me.
