Jim Ratcliffe entschuldigt sich halbherzig nach Aussage, Grossbritannien werde von Einwanderern 'kolonisiert'

Manchester-United-Miteigentuemer Jim Ratcliffe sah sich am Donnerstag zu einer halbherzigen Entschuldigung gezwungen, nachdem seine Behauptung, das Vereinigte Koenigreich werde von Einwanderern "kolonisiert", parteiuebergreifende Empoerung, scharfe Kritik aus der Fussballwelt und den Widerspruch seines eigenen Vereins ausgeloest hatte Minister escalates row with ‘hypocritical’ Ratcliffe over claim UK colonised by immigrants – politics livetheguardian.com·SecondaryGood morning. As Joe Coughlan and Rob Davies report, last night Downing Street said that said the Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe should apologise for his comments that the UK is being “colonised” by immigrants. Although Ratcliffe’s claim that the UK population had increased by 12m over the past five years was shockingly and absurdly inaccurate, it was still moderately surprising that Downing Street criticised Ratcliffe so quickly and so explicitly..

Der Ausloser war ein Interview mit Sky News am Mittwochabend beim European Industry Summit in Antwerpen. Ratcliffe — der siebentreichste Brite, der 2020 seinen Steuersitz von Hampshire nach Monaco verlegte — griff die Einwanderungspolitik und Sozialleistungsempfaenger an. Man koenne sich keine Wirtschaft mit 9 million Leistungsempfaengern und gleichzeitig hoher Einwanderung leisten, so Ratcliffe. Das Vereinigte Koenigreich werde von Einwanderern kolonisiert.

Die Zahlen waren schlicht falsch. Das Office for National Statistics bezifferte die britische Bevoelkerung 2020 auf rund 67 million.

Ratcliffes Entschuldigung am Donnerstag blieb weit hinter einem Widerruf zurueck.

Die vielleicht bemerkenswerteste Reaktion kam aus Ratcliffes eigenem Fussball-Imperium. Nur Stunden nach seiner Entschuldigung veroeffentlichte Manchester United — ohne Ratcliffe namentlich zu nennen — ein Statement, in dem der Verein sein Bekenntnis zu Gleichstellung, Vielfalt und Inklusion bekraeftigte.

Der Fall offenbart einen Bruch in der britischen Einwanderungsdebatte. Die Geschwindigkeit und Schaerfe der Reaktion aus Downing Street war bemerkenswert — zumal der bisherige Stabschef Morgan McSweeney, der beim Thema Einwanderung stets zur Vorsicht gemahnt hatte, erst wenige Tage zuvor seinen Posten geraeumt hatte Minister escalates row with ‘hypocritical’ Ratcliffe over claim UK colonised by immigrants – politics livetheguardian.com·SecondaryGood morning.

Ob der Fall Ratcliffe eine echte Wende in Labours Bereitschaft markiert, Anti-Einwanderungs-Rhetorik offensiv zu begegnen, oder nur eine Einzelreaktion auf eine besonders ungeschickte Provokation bleibt, ist offen. Klar ist: Die Kombination aus falschen Fakten, entzuendlicher Sprache und offensichtlicher Scheinheiligkeit — ein Steuerexilant in Monaco belehrt Grossbritannien darueber, wer dazugehoert und wer nicht — machte Ratcliffe zum denkbar unguenstigsten Ueberbringer dieser Botschaft.
