"#GaryLineker has criticised #JimRatcliffe over his recent comments suggesting Britain is being colonised by immigrants adding to the backlash facing the Manchester United co-owner. Ratcliffe made the remarks during an interview with Sky News about the British economy. Speaking on The Rest is Football podcast Lineker described the comments as hypocritical pointing out that Ratcliffe lives in Monaco as what he called an economic migrant and arguing that if someone has concerns about the country they should live in the UK pay taxes and contribute to society"
