The issue isn’t that Ed Sheeran didn’t say anything about Palestine…

It’s that he allowed the silencing of someone who did, when (let’s be honest)
he has more than enough FU money to have taken a principled stand.

@y_alibhai @Shambles151 Successive governments refusal to proscribe extreme right wing groups doesn’t help.

It’s almost as though they see the exponential rise in fascism as inevitable

@dsmiffy55 Sorry RNLI.

Fascists & racists got 'patriots' to hate small boat people. Then all migrants and minorities of colour. Now the good souls of the RNLA. Next? Doctors, nurses of colour? Brown & black Schoolkids? Many are fighting this scourge. More of us must join them.

The BBC has been showcasing the views of oil tycoon Jim Ratcliffe in every news show for the last 24 hours, noting that he's "one of Britain's richest men".

Shouldn't this be "one of Monaco's richest men"?

How about similar airtime for (say) one of Britain's poorest women?

Because the press has never peddled people’s privacy. And the dead don’t have privacy, they’re dead. This is desperate nonsense.

🔴'Companies owned by Jim Ratcliffe have received STATE SUPPORT to the tune of £630m in recent years. Now this 'wealth creator' is leaving the country because he doesn't want to pay taxes and doesn't like black and brown people.' - @David__Osland

👉Ratcliffe avoided £4bn tax by switching domicile to Monaco. 🇲🇨

This is the biggest lie you’ve been told.

You’re told the West is falling apart because of migrants and minorities.

But who closed the factories? Crashed the banks? Launched the wars?

Here’s what really happened.

BBC News spent Sunday referring to Jim Ratcliffe as one of Britain's richest men, except, he's an immigrant in Monaco, having moved there to avoid paying £4 billion in tax.

They screen him complaining about those on benefits, even though he grew up in a council house, went to state school, had free university education, and has taken hundreds of millions in public state support from the UK, French and German governments.

They screen him talking about broken Britain which is poor, but don't mention that he is a Brexiter, and Brexit has made the country poorer.

Our national broadcaster should have spent the day providing context to his criticisms, instead they wrapped it in a bow, pushed it out, to stoke further division in society.

I remember when the BBC was so much better than this, and I hope one day it will return to having better standards, than to simply churn out divisive nonsense masquerading as news and analysis.

[The Committee @CommitteeFCUM]

It's clear what Ratcliffe is trying to do here;

There's a serious worldwide conversation about how wealth-hoarding, tax-avoiding billionaires like him are in fact the cause of society's problems

He's just crudely trying to deflect attention back to "immigration"

Man's a cunt

We've all lost confidence in Billionaire Man Utd owner, Jim Ratcliffe, who left the UK to move to tax-free Monaco.

As long as the country isn't run how he run Man Utd, I reckon we'll be alright.

[Edward Hardy @EdwardTHardy]

Until he moves his tax residency back to the UK, Jim Ratcliffe has no right to lecture anyone on the state of the country
