Benedict Cumberbatch stuns theatregoers with “f**k the politicians” outburst

Benedict Cumberbatch left a London audience stunned after performing Hamlet - reportedly saying "f**k the politicians".

The sweary comment came as the Sherlock actor expressed his frustration over the migration crisis and the government's decision to only accept 20,000 refugees over five years. The remark got a few cheers from the audience, which contained Lib Dem peer Lady Shirley Williams, according to the Daily Mail. Cumberbatch has been giving speeches on the matter on a nightly basis following each of his performances at the Barbican, and has asked for donations to help Syrian refugees which has seen in excess of £150,000 raised for Save the Children. https://twitter.com/govieburbie/status/659134393571803137?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://youtu.be/M9Ld6fQOXf8
