Ineos founder and Manchester United co-owner attributes Britain’s perceived decline to high taxes and immigration, according to the Guardian.

The Manchester United Muslim Supporters’ Club says comments made by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe during a BBC interview about the UK and its imperial past were “completely unacceptable.”

The billionaire chemicals magnate and Manchester United co-owner told the BBC he believes Britain is "on the slide" and urged greater investment in North Sea oil and gas.
