Thank you Mr Cumberbatch for this appeal.I respect you even more.

Just read it... Need to see the film... Ballard was a genius and a disturbing prophet. 📺📼🖥💻❓

It seems no one is talking about this speech anymore, but I wanna talk a little bit. Well, maybe not a little bit, because there are a LOT to say. I am from Turkey and to be honest I've never met any Syrians before. I am not sure but probably, Turkey is "the most refugee accepted" country. It's about 3 millions, I guess. Now, some people say we can't take all of them in. You're right, because you can't imagine how many Syrian refugees caused crimes or raped girls. But on the other hand, there are some people who are really helpless and truly desperate. If you're escaping from war, I really don't expect to see an iPhone in your hand. First of all, there must have been an elemination. You don't want all of them in your country, I understand that, but why wouldn't you accept 'some' of them? When you do it I know the group that you're gonna accept, the ones who are educated very well. Everybody is thinking of themselves and no one is going to give their hand. Just for once, try not to forget even if they're educated or not, as Benedict said they all are humans just like you and me. They have mothers, fathers, daughters and sons. You say "help your people first + if you wanna help take a few family as guests in your mansion" COME ON, WOULD YOU DO THAT TO BRITISH FAMILIES? No you wouldn't. And that's not what he's talking about. Yeah he may be unreachable, out of normal people's touch and very rich, but just like you and me he has a heart too and he also donates for them. Stop blaming him for your own mistake, which is being f*cking heartless. I am not telling you to be stupid and accept all the refugees, no one can but stop being like this. We forget that we all are humans. Whoever we are, we're all the same in this world. Now, it's the very first day of 2019, and there's still a war in Syria. See, it's been years. And believe me you wouldn't help or f*cking get anything just by sitting on your comfortable chair and write "it's easy for him to say this". I read the comments and started to cry, I know if there were a war in Turkey none of you would accept me and I could die with a sniper shot. Sorry for my English, I am only 15. But that's what the world is, in 2019. Thank you all.

Why doesn't he house any refugees himself? I'm not saying he has to live with them, he just needs to buy a house for them.

He's a brave and truthful man he believes in his cause. Those quick to snap judgement on him, shame on you.

0:31 HOW DARE HE CARESS HIMSELF LIKE THAT???

excuse moi

non ca va

Sad that this post seems to have been taken as an excuse to air racist and xenophobic views. Given the wholesale terror, theft, rape and destruction of people and natural resources that we in the West have visited on the wider world for the last 500 years or so, and continue to do on a daily basis, how can we act surprised if the people we have terrorised and exploited ask for a modicum of recompense? Whatever the terrorised and brutalised ask of us, we owe them tenfold.

"Noone puts their child in a boat if the land is safer than the water" Unfortunately except the famous child who drowned. He and his parents were already safe in Turkey. But the parents just wanted to live better. They are not all refugees fleeing from war. It is time we made a distinction.

Stick them all where you live then comberatch another do gooder

Love him even more. <3

HOW MANY OF THOSE IMMIGRANTS HAS HE HOUSED

Love!

Guys, I think you just have to be reasonable : or course Benedict Cumberbatch won't host thousands or refugees, because that's simply not the point ! The point is, we should all give even a little bit of consideration to people ( because those are actual people, actual human beings suffering like we all do) who are actually dying on our doorsteps ! Whoever they are (age, sex...), who are WE to judge if they have the right to seek help in our country? I don't know if you realise the kind of situation those people are in ?! And I'm not even talking about economic refugees here (although they don't deserve rejection either), only about people who didn't have the damn CHOICE to leave everything behind. We're not talking about such things as religion or politics yet, we're talking about PEOPLE, who don't even know if they will live through the next day. I'm sorry, but I think we're all being so blinded by such questions as work, comfort or personal security, that we forget the real matter: thousands of human lives are in danger right now. So if I you're on a boat in the middle of the sea and you see another boat sinking right in front of you, will you let another man drown just because you don't know his name or because you don't want to share your own space ? Come on, that's just nonsense. So if you want to think about it once again do it, but do it quickly, because by the time you're over, the poor bloke is already six feet under.

yeah not a bother when you live in hamstead heath or somewhere similar and go to restaurants that charge 300 pounds for a meal. go live in Luton mate, or germany or sweeden for that matter. send your 16 year old daughter out on the streets and tell her she has nothing to fear from these war torn people and see what you say then. its not the millionaires that live with these people its the ordinary folk and ben is not one of them.

What a worthless Pizza loving fart.

Stunning film. In every way. Tom Hiddleston + Luke Evans are wonderful in it! Loved it!

Same year Dr. Mario Molina wrote his paper on "the Green-House Effect", 1978. Last night I could actually watched this film now that the "X Men Apocalypse" stopped eclipsing all the other movies due to their premiere during the past weekend and let me tell you although quite British indeed in its portrayal yet High-Rise's universal view on human condition is even more relevant nowadays and as MR Hiddleston commented in another vid made on his talks and presentations[ yeah everything is now recorded by any possible gadget there is] Ballard's prophetic views and this film based upon it btw it took only 40 years to his producer Jeremy Thomas to complete its realization: "the metaphor is for us to decide" just as Orwell's and Huxley's. Please watch this film if you're interested in thinking afterwards. Many thanks for publishing 25 05 2016

He's right... but what he wants is not entirely possible, there's a limit on the amount of people we can put under a roof and we can't possibly take everyone that wants to come to the UK but we should take as many as we can, it's saving lives.

America's got Trump, we got assholes like this supporting our own goddamn suicide. That's why we're going under.

speeches from these over protected self important luvvies makes me puke. come back down to earth. your just a fucking actor.

Good thing he got into acting because he never would've made his millions working anywhere that requires brains. One needs only to look at the history of the world all over to know how it will end for the UK and Europe by accepting all refugees. The quality of life for today's Europeans is going to take a nose dive, but the elite like Cumberbatch will always have places around the world to run to when things go south.

Jesus, the hostility and lack of humanity in the comments is unbelievable. The human race is fucking doomed.

Wow, so many idiotic comments... Where's your humanity?

What a bell end ! Easy for him as a multi millionaire to lecture others ! How many refugees does HE allow to reside in his own exclusive neighborhood -or own palatial mansion even ? Prick !

Benedict doesn't have to live with these people, with the opportunists who are just here in Europe to use, use, use. Real refugees are the minority. The rest spit in our faces and constantly complain (in their own languages only) about not getting enough free stuff. Europe is unrecognizable from the way it was 20, even 10 years ago.

Thank you for this appeal Mr. Cumberbatch. Your humanity shines through. God bless you.

Only a small proportion of these so-called refugees are fleeing Syria. The majority are from all over the muslim world and are able-bodied young men who know damn well that the PC brigade will take them at face value if they simply claim to be Syrian. Of course, they have no documents so the gullible PC brigadiers will smugly keep pumping the myth that they are all fleeing war and persecution. Funny how little to no effort has been made to help the Christian and Yasidi people in the Middle East, who really are being persecuted. Also, why has no one asked the question: "Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, how many migrants have YOU taken in?' I can tell you how many; a big fat zero, but this is never mentioned by the PC press. Oh no, it's all Europe's fault and responsibility. Of course the UK can provide housing and jobs for millions fleeing shitty regimes, because this is a huge island and we have no homelessness, no families living on the breadline and we got absolutely tons of spare housing! Oh and in addition to that we got absolutely loads of money and resources in the education and health sectors! Cumberbatch is an idiot or is he getting a financial back-hander from those rich Arab countries that don't want to deal with this 'problem'?

Maybe help the poor/homeless you already have in your country before you start venturing out. There are people in your country who can't afford basic life necessities and you want to send help overseas? Clean up your own backyard first.

Who does this man think he is? The arrogance of trying to guilt trip us into accepting yet more immigrants who we don't want, who will not fit in here and will never fit in here. Fuck him, he's a traitor and doesn't give a shit about the BRITISH people whom he actually looks down on and holds in contempt, like all these liberal luvvie rich wanker types.

This is simply amazing.Fuck off haters and well done Benedict.❤️

Wow. J.G. Ballard fore saw and predicted KZbin back in the 1970's.

"They always read in the darkness" Corialius III, third book

I always appreciate celebrities using their voices for things that matter and petitioning for change. Good man, Benedict.

Patronising twat. It's ok for him and his moral high ground but what about the poor of this country who see economic migrants (for that is what the majority of these people are) competing with them for low-cost housing, jobs, ever-lower salaries, health services etc - that's leaving aside the swallowing up of what's left of our countryside for housing.

the comments....simply disappointing.

So how many refugees is he housing in his mansion(s)? How much of his tens of millions of £ is he giving to the refugees? Oh wait, he is just another rich, out of touch celebrity (who doesn't live here half the time) who expects other people to do his charity for him.

After Paris, let's see what that champagne socialist wanker thinks now. Arse.

Hi Benedict, will you be 'welcoming the (so called) refugees' now? After the attacks in Paris. Wake up, we tried to warn you, but you wouldn't listen.

Bachar el essad gets my vote .

lol..reading selfish comments from selfish people make me want to hope that , all of you gonna be the one that need shelters in future. begging for mercy for ur kids n etc.. that would be nice..
