In the 19th century, Manchester first began to be a destination for immigrants. It was Scottish, Welsh and Irish in huge numbers who shaped the city and made it their home.Over the next hundred years, immigrants from across the world turned Manchester into the city it was. It was this vibrant and complex city that Matt Busby loved and which saw him shape the great Manchester United sides in its image. As a lifelong supporter of Manchester United, Jim Ratcliffe might have known that. Last week the Manchester United minority owner said the U.K. had been ‘colonised by immigrants'. On Free State today we explore what drives the billionaire class to demonise the most vulnerable in society. Ratcliffe apologised if ‘my choice of language has offended some people' but in doing so he revealed more about what drives him. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

STARMER SHOULD APOLOGISE — NOT SIR JIM RATCLIFFE  #Starmer #SirJimRatcliffe #IllegalMigration#Brexit #BorderChaos #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #LiveShow #UKPolitics  Let's get this straight from the off. Keir Starmer has got some cheek. Some brass neck. The man who never apologises suddenly wants one from Jim Ratcliffe? You couldn't make it up. Starmer — Mr Flip-Flop, Mr U-Turn, Mr "I Didn't Really Mean That" — is now posing as the nation's moral referee. Fifteen U-turns. Fifteen. On policy, principle, and promises. Has he apologised once? Has he heck. Not to pensioners. Not to voters. Not to the people he's taken for mugs. And while he's busy wagging his finger at Sir Jim, let's talk about the apology Britain actually deserves. Because the entire political class — Labour, Tory, the lot of them — owe the British people a massive apology for the abject failure on illegal migration. Years of chaos. Billions wasted. Borders that exist in name only. And what do we get? Lectures. Excuses. And being told we're wrong for noticing. Sir Jim didn't say anything outrageous. He said what millions of people are thinking but Westminster is too frightened to admit. People are fed up. Fed up of being ignored. Fed up of being patronised. Fed up of being told to shut up and accept it. Immigration. Brexit. National sovereignty. These aren't fringe obsessions — they're the issues voters keep shouting about while politicians stick their fingers in their ears.  And here's the bit that really rattles them: the polls are coming. The next set will show it again. Ordinary Brits aren't buying the spin anymore. They don't want apologies demanded from businessmen who speak plainly — they want accountability from politicians who never do. So no, Sir Jim doesn't owe the country an apology. Keir Starmer does. And until he finds the courage to say sorry — properly, honestly, and without a lawyered-up script — he might want to stop lecturing the rest of us about decency. Because people are watching. People are angry. And this time, they're not being ignored.  Keir Starmer, Starmer apology, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, immigration crisis, UK illegal migration ,Labour u turns, political class failure, Brexit betrayal, border chaos, British voters ignored, Westminster elites, Jon Gaunt, Jon Gaunt TV, Live, UK politics, immigration, free speech UK, #KeirStarmer #Starmer #SirJimRatcliffe #ImmigrationCrisis #IllegalMigration #LabourUTurns #PoliticalClass #Brexit #BorderChaos #BritainIgnored #Westminster #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #JonGauntStyle #Live #LiveShow #UKPolitics #EnoughIsEnough  This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.
