Breitbart: Back in October of 2015, at the conclusion of a London performance of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch used his curtain call to attack the British government for agreeing to accept only 20,000 Syrian refugees. “F-ck the politicians” he howled, before asking the audience to contribute money to the cause. “We’ve got to do something about it,” the overrated actor insisted.
Some two years later, in a recent interview with The Big Issue, Cumberbatch revealed exactly what he did do on behalf of Syrian refugees. He “did look into” housing them, and then decided against it:

[P]eople were saying, ‘You’ve got a home, why don’t you house refugees?’ And we did look into it. But we had, then, a very new baby – maybe four or five months old.
Maybe people had a point. I understand why some might think I should be housing people instead of complaining about a government not doing it. But I was trying to raise awareness that we can do more as a society. Because I do feel we are able to do more than just recovering bodies.
So basically, after blasting the British government for agreeing to help a full 20,000 refugees, Cumberbatch is unwilling to house even one. Moreover, my guess is that not a single one of those 20,000 will be resettled anywhere near whatever estate the multimillionaire Cumberbatch currently resides within. more here
Cucumbersnatch?
Is his first name Bendadick?
Of course he won’t be taking them in, and criticism of him doesn’t reach his lofty heights where reside, what was it, “the most vilified segments”?
Oh yes, always the victims.
I saw the title and thought George Clooney. Which is still correct, he didn’t turn his estate in Italy over for refugee housing, right?
And guess which country the latest terrorist bomber came from. This maggot ought to have his ass kicked up around his shoulders.

Like most actors, he’s all talk and no action. You give YOUR money, and you open YOUR house, but I’m too important to be bothered with such trivialities.
“But I was trying to raise awareness that we can do more as a society…”
IOW, Loathsome and despicable.
‘But I was trying to raise awareness that we can do more as a society’
Ha ha ha ha ha. In other words, somebody needs to do something but not me. Another git who wants others to do and spend their own money while he sits in his guarded palace.
Well, his baby’s life is wayyyy more important than our babies, amirite?
How’s a guy that butt ugly become an actor?
Nothing cures liberalism faster than becoming a victim of their own belief.
Next thing you know, he’s going to pick up and flee for his life like “pro-immigrant” George Clooney.
“How’s a guy that butt ugly become an actor?”
Because he blows all the right people.
He’s British. There aren’t too many good looking British actors out there, so they go with what they have. Besides, a Brit or Aussie accent seems to be a guarantee of employment in Homowood.
Man does he look like a sissy
It’s a requirement that you be a douche nozzle if your name is Cumberbatch. It’s time these Hollywood pricks STFU. That means you too Jimmy “tough guy” Kimmel.
He must have figured you can’t run your mouth if your head isn’t attached.
LOL @ Roman V. So true.
He should have tsken the “thousands of pounds’ he raised and rented a few blocks of apartments for a year.
Then he could have paid for the food and medical expenses for the same period.
I say we move “Camp Calais” to Cumberbitch’s yard!
It’s the thought that counts right ???
Hmmm. Islamic barbarians (still living like it’s the 7th century) who rape, murder, mutilate, pillage and plunder don’t make the best houseguest after all. Go figure.
“Is his first name Bendadick?”
To be adjusted to “Still-a-Dick” very soon.
“But I was trying to raise awareness that we can do more as a society.”
so now that you raised our awareness what are you going to do about it?
typical liberal “raising awareness” is the most they can muster for help.
Hollywood liberals have all the money but rarely donate much of it.
if they all got together and gave up their vast fortunes to the poor would we have poor left ?
now that’s raised awareness!
Well they all say one thing and do another. So, I wonder how many illegals Cher took in? Anyone keeping track of this? Madonna did move out of the country as she promised – to Portugal.

Good riddance!

Cumberbatch. Wow. And I thought Thaddeus B. Cornbuckle was a tad harsh.
So was he saying his baby would not be safe with these wonderful Syrian refugees in his house? Hypocrite.
Maybe somebody should call AntiFa or BLM because this is a case of “white priviledge” if I ever saw it. C’mon boys, set up the barricades!
It wuz a “terribly difficult” decision based on the advice from his personal assistant, his personal trainer, his house-keeper, his chauffeur, his psychiatrist, his accountants, White friends and neighbors, Real Estate consultant and Re-Hab manager…
Funny how “doing more as a society” never involves them personally. How convenient!
All these lefties don’t know that redemption is individual, not collective.
I always take everything celebrities say completely to heart, and never fail to do exactly what they say I should.
Doesn’t everyone?
