British billionaire and minority shareholder of Manchester United football club, Sir Jim Ratcliffe (73), has sparked controversy with his controversial remarks, calling the country a 'colony of immigrants'. In response, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer criticised Ratcliffe's comments. In a tweet, he labelled them as 'hate speech and false' and demanded the billionaire apologise. 'Britain is a country of tolerance and diversity, and we are proud of that,' Starmer wrote. 'Jim Ratcliffe should apologise.' Ratcliffe's statements were made at the European Industry Summit in Antwerp. The Muslim Association of Fans has accused him of fuelling right-wing extremism and jeopardising community peace. They argue that his comments legitimise prejudice and cause division.
