Speaking as he received an honorary degree, the actor says he is 'disgusted' by the asylum project.

Morrissey is a goodwill ambassador for United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.He said: "It is very important for me to challenge the narrative we sometimes get in this country for people arriving on our shores," he said.

"They are individuals and we have to look at them with a real humanitarian eye rather than the dog whistle that sometimes happens in our headlines. "It really disgusts me when I hear members of our government saying that they dream at night about putting people on planes and taking them to Rwanda.""Whether it is for conflict or climate crisis we are all connected.The actor, who grew up in Kensington in Liverpool, said he was "humbled" to return home to the city to be made a doctor of humane letters in recognition of his acting career and his work with social justice charities.

"I pinch myself all the time. My dad said if you do a job you love you will never do a day's work in your life and I feel that." Dr Penny Haughan, the university's interim vice-chancellor, said the "superb actor" and champion of various charities was "a shining example to all our students".

So what Mr Morrissey do you think should happen? that we allow thousands if not millions to come to the U.K. a small island with limited resources getting less every day by overuse that has been financed by the working people of the country by those that have never contribute.

It's O.K. it's endorsed by Arsenal!

Who cares what he thinks.

Who is he again, just because he maybe on tv sometimes doesn’t mean he speaks for me and others,

So what.. Put it to a public vote if needed.

All scousers are commies anyway... No big news..

Who cares what he thinks, i dont, send all illegal aliens to Rwanda

Celebs need to to stick to their day job

Actors know best

Oh no! Anyway..

Borders it's cheaper and 💯 more efficient 🇬🇧🙏🏻

I agree this is expensive to the tax payers and little results but two large hovercraft retro fitted with holding cells and as they are brought to shore put them in the cells and at the end of the day take them back to France 🇫🇷 and tell the French to tighten their European 🇪🇺

Get in!

Fckoff

It’s none of his bloody business! 😳

Wtf is he

I don't mind if David Morrissey puts up ALL the immigrants in his house, or pays ALL the hotel bills. Then the UK Government could cancel the Rwanda Flights.

Well, that's that then.

How dare you David Morrissey be so derogatory and disgusted about sending people to Rwanda. It is a beautiful country which many people go to for their holiday you are a racist. Stop hating on Rwanda.

Another actor raising his profile but does naff all to help even the poorest in this country…………. Boring

Yet another faux-leftie luvvie looking to increase his profile.

I’m sure he’ll open his door up to those coming into the country illegally!! Stick to acting

Why is the BBC so woke?

Everybody is offended but not one person has a solution , ask this clown If he would take them as neighbours see what he says then

🤷

Who cares what David thinks we should be more bothered about keeping our women and girls safe .

Very hush hush on this BBC guess his name and he was targeting a maternity ward !!!! This should be headline news on every media yet nothing apart from this washed out actor

Like him as an actor but he really needs to stick to what he’s good at, why doesn’t he offer to give a home to some of these in his own house

Fair enough but who is he?

Why is it OK for Arsenal to have VisitRwanda all over their shirts, yet you dont support Rwanda. Why is it OK to promote Rwnada as a country good enough to go on holiday to and good enough to be affiliated with Arsenal yet, its not good to live there? davemorrissey64

Honerary degree because he is too thick to earn it

Why is an actors opinion on this issue news? Other than wishing to echo those sentiments by proxy I fail to see why a serious news organisation would make a story from this.

DO NOT sign up with skytv , they give you a connection date just to get your cash and then lie about it and fuck you over, go with somebody else would be my advice

Who? Never heard of him. 🤔

Out of touch with the vast majority of the country.

Easy to say when you live in the little luvvie enclave of Walberswick. Average house price £1.4m. Perhaps the BBC would be better asking the residents of nearby Ipswich what their thoughts on immigration are.

Stick to acting if you can call it acting!

David who

He must have a book coming out.

Lefty luvvie in migrant sulk...who'd have thought it? 🤣

Another rich sleb putting his oar in. If you have a better suggestion we are all ears...if not SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

An actor.disagrees with the majority of the public . Deserves a mention on the BBC. When’s my interview.

“Won’t someone please think of the luvvies!”

Can they not stay at your gaff instead, David?

Oh god, here we go again!! Someone who chose not to go into politics giving their self righteous opinion on how things should be managed. When will MSM learn….?

Its a gimmick to keep the gammons quiet. The tories are in enough trouble and don't want to lose their vote.

What makes his voice anymore meaningful than Dave from Chatham ?

Here's an idea David put them up in your house and pay for them out of your pocket or keep your pompous mouth shut

Oh god save us! Another virtue signalling 'celebrity'. Why are we subjected to their platform? When do we get a voice

So what?

Can you pay more tax to pay for them then

Can he tell us how many illigal economical migrants he has helped financial and how many has he housed or is this just for him to get in the news,it has put me off watching him on TV now,he reminds me of the crisp man Lineker

That’s it then, stop it….. a Z list, mediocre actor has spoken.

Everyone who doesn't support getting migrants out of the country and not letting them in the first place should be forced to have them live with them and support them as I don't want to.

So?

How many will he offer to take into his own home then?

A scouser moaning No way!

Well that is really interesting I must say

We need all three immigrants we can get, the national insurance ponzi scheme is about to collapse.

Who? Never heard of him not interested in what he thinks neither

And?

So?

Noone gives a fcuk what he thinks. Why do actors think they know best?

With the greatest of respect to Mr Morrissey (who I happen to like very much as an actor), they haven't listened to a single human rights expert who's spoken out against it. I very much doubt they're going to change their minds now.
