Here's some fuel for your hatred:
https://news.sky.com/story/the-uk-has-been-colonised-by-immigrants-says-ineos-boss-and-man-utd-co-owner-sir-jim-ratcliffe-13506333

"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."

Goes around, comes around, eh? Meanwhile he's an immigrant of Monaco for tax purposes...

Oh no I'm well caught up on that lol. I'm one of maybe 5 people into sports on Lemmy lol

Always hated Radcliffe in particular too, even before he bought part of utd

ok I probably don't want to know but whats up with radcliffe?

[–] MagnificentSteiner@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

He's a billionaire, aka a thief.

I think confusion comes from Radcliffe (the Harry Potter actor) versus Ratcliffe (the billionaire asshole).

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean hes had a lot of famous roles so I know he should be well off. Im surprised he made it to billionaire. There has to be more to it than that.

oh. oh. oh. So just some political figure. I was thinking it was like a dean cane, kevin sorbo, mel gibson, kid rock, rosseane bar, etc. kind of thing. Its kinda funny his name is spelt with a t. Did not even notice before.
