UK Fact Check Politics on Instagram: "🚨| FACT CHECK: Billionaire & Co-owner of Manchester United Sir Jim Ratcliffe paid £0 in income tax in the financial year of 2024/2025; meanwhile immigrants in the UK contributed a whopping £17,000,000,000 in income tax, MORE than Jim Ratcliffe’s entire net worth which is £12.76 Billion. Yesterday in an interview with Sky News Jim Ratcliffe said Britain has been “colonised” by immigrants, suggesting there are too many and that Nigel Farage is a “smart guy”. Mr Ratcliffe’s comments last night were also factually incorrect, he claimed that the UK population in 2020 was 58 million and that the population in 2026 is well above 70 million, a 12 million increase. However, the actual population in the UK in 2020 was 68 million and the correct population as of Feb 2026 rests at 69.6 million according to UN data. An increase of only 1.6 million people compared to the 12 million Ratcliffe claimed. The Billioniare who has imposed massive cuts across Old Trafford and laid thousands of staff off, also failed to account for the 300,000-500,000 births in the UK each year."

I was going to make a joke about how you had just set off a Genuine #Yorkshire Accent Detected light that I hadn't heretofore known that my WWW browser had, and that it was now blinking in the status bar.

Then I decided before posting to see what Google Gemini made of the text. (Bing refused to be taunted into making a guess of its own.)

The 'AI' told me that you had written a combination of '#Mancunian and #Lancashire'. In boldface, just to get its point across.

Reality hits worse than invention. The Post-Stross Universe in action yet again.

Episode two hundred and sixty-seven is up now! Today's song is Friend Of Ours by Elbow.

I discuss the real person who inspired this song and the album it comes from, and how Guy Garvey's lyrics say a lot with so little.

Friend Of Ours - Pigeon's Song of the Day (20/01/2025)

YouTube
Not the boy's first choice (that was #Manchester), which he knew was going to be tough to get in to, but he's really happy that he's been accepted at his second choice of uni, #Lancaster. Tbh, it would have been my first choice, as it's a lonely campus, loads of opportunities to stargaze and live away from the big #Mancunian metropolis. Saying that, we're off into #Town tomorrow to celebrate! #LancasterUni #UniLife #HeyStudent #ProudMumAndDad

I don’t give any thought to my accent. I don’t consciously try to speak a certain way, it just is what it is.

But this colleague told me that I said something yesterday too that made them do a doubletake.

Certain words have been heavily accented and easily identifiable as #Mancunian.

Apparently when I’m tired, I slip straight back into #ProperManc. I was totally unaware of this.

I am quietly chuffed about this discovery. I am from #Manchester, a proper Manc, and I’m bloody proud of that.

Spent the afternoon at mum’s, now heading into town for a night with #JohnnyMarr. The weather is typically #Mancunian.

It's #bandcampfriday. Anything camp is alright by me. My mum says Quarehawk is surprisingly good. CDs are the new vinyl. It's nearly Christmas. Surprise me. #Folk https://michaelwalsh1.bandcamp.com/album/quarehawk #Woodenflute #Asturias #Irish #Mancunian

Further to my last, my natural #accent is #Mancunian. Like, proper Manc. As in could-be-in-Oasis Manc.

I now have more of a cultured Manc accent, as in it’s difficult to work out where I’m from other than “definitely #northern”.

There are hints of #Scouser and a bit of #Stokie, overlaid on a base of posher #Manc.

Until that is I either go home, or speak to another proper Manc. Then it automatically reverts back to natural and there’s not a shred of doubt where I’m from.
