Always frustrating when people talk about immigrants being a drain on the UK. Jim Ratcliffe recently bought a cycle team, a yacht team, a ski lodge, a Swiss football team, Manchester United, the Mercedes F1 team and sponsors New Zealand rugby - largely funded by tax avoidance. He owns not one but two superyachts aswell as two hotels. He is a Brexiteer and Eurosceptic who for tax purposes says he lives in Monaco and owns an estate on the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, where he relocated his business in 2010 to avoid tax. His vast thirty billion wealth comes from petrochemicals, oil and plastic. Jim wants fracking and doesn't care about the consequences.

Assuming the cost of one migrant is c.£12000 per year (and assuming that person gives nothing back to the economy, which we know to be wrong), just in money that Jim avoids paying the country he contributed to being cut off from our neighbours whose hospitality he enjoys so much, that would easily fund half a million immigrants per year. And they're not pumping oil and plastic into the environment.

Jim is one man.
