Bit of a daft question really. These are people with a proven family connection to the UK who are in a dangerous situation partly because of actions previous governments took in their country. If we can't help them then we're not helping anyone are we.

I used to work for Oracle (not by choice, we got acquired). It was awful, and Ellison was a big part of that. The day I left was the best day of my professional life.

Is he working as a barista now then? I guess the acting jobs have dried up and with the libel case loss and having to buy flags to burn on a regular basis it must be difficult for him to make ends meet....
