Calling immigrants “a drain” doesn’t match the facts.
According to UK government data:
• Around 76% of Universal Credit claimants are White
• About 84% are British, Irish, or have right of abode
• Only 16% were born outside the UK
Out of roughly 7.9 million UC claimants, about 6.6 million are British or Irish, and 1.3 million are foreign-born.
So the idea that immigrants are “draining the system” just isn’t supported by the evidence.
This kind of language from Jim Ratcliffe isn’t leadership, it’s scapegoating.
If the country has serious problems, it should deal with them honestly, not blame migrants for issues they didn’t create.
Aside from his blatant lies/ignorance about UK population numbers, Ratcliffe is an immigrant tax exile in Monaco, and most of his Manchester United team are immigrants to UK. So he’s a stinking race-baiting hypocrite.
