A billboard praising immigrants has been displayed outside Old Trafford after Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe claimed that the UK had been “colonised” by migrants.
He incorrectly claimed that the UK population had risen by 12 million since 2020 - it has risen by an estimated 2.7 million. He has since apologised for his comments.
On Friday (13 February), British protest group Everybody Hates Elon released a video showing the installation of a poster outside the stadium which read: “Immigrants have done more for this city than billionaire tax dodgers ever will.”
Sir Jim has been living in tax-free Monaco since 2020.
