The Straits Times
|February 13, 2026
Manchester United’s co-owner Jim Ratcliffe apologised on Feb 12 for his “choice of language” after saying the “UK has been colonised by immigrants”.

The businessman, founder and chairman of the Ineos chemicals company, made the remarks in a TV interview in which he suggested “huge levels of immigration” to Britain had harmed the economy.
But following calls, including from Prime Minister Keir Starmer, for Mr Ratcliffe to apologise, the 73-year-old billionaire said: “I am sorry that my choice of language has offended some people in the UK and Europe and caused concern, but it is important to raise the issue of controlled and well-managed immigration that supports economic growth.
