Tax dodging billionaire blames UK problems on immigrants. Looks like he's not long for this world by the picture. When he keels over there will be immigrant nurses and doctors who care from him. They won't treat him with the disdain he treats them. news.sky.com/story/the-uk...
'UK has been colonised by immigrants', says INEOS boss and Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe
In an interview with Sky News's Ed Conway, Sir Jim says Britain faces profound political, social and economic challenges, among them an unprecedented rise in immigration in recent years.

This problem stems from property developers treating people's homes as an asset class to sell on to investors. Let's hope leasehold reform does what it's supposed to do and makes these an unattractive investment for pensions and annuity companies.
