“The Charlotte Coxe Trust Committee, part of OCC (Oxfordshire County Council), has now agreed to enter into a year-long tenancy with a “named local sponsor”, understood to be The Lion King and Man in the Iron Mask star Jeremy Irons.
The cottage will then be sublet to Ukrainian refugees.”
Can someone confirm what that means? Is Jeremy essentially donating the house to the council to use to house the Ukrainian refugees?
If that’s the case, then good for Jezza.

Good! Ukrainians deserve all the help they can get! More people with more than one house should be doing this.

Jeremy Irons has used his fame for several good causes over the years. All round solid bloke, he’s one of the few famous people I’d genuinely like to meet

Wow, finally some celebrity who says they’ll house migrants and actually does it unlike most of them. Looking at you “I-had-to-give-up-my-dog-because-he-ate-my-passport” Lily Allen

It seems to me that certain element on here have no problem with white refugees, but do with brown ones.
I think they are probably just racists.

Hope he enjoys kicking them out in 12 months the sanctimonious wanker.
Solid play by Irons, he does a lot of stuff like this as he lives in that town. Regularly invests his time helping local initiatives and is a great chap. Helped get HGVs banned from using the super narrow high street road which has reduced maintenance costs and traffic.
For those who just want to put a negative spin on things like “he’s getting paid in then end ain’t he” or “he’s just doing this to loophole his way into owning the house”, some clarifications:
– The house will always be owned by the council
– Irons gets no fincancial incentive out of this, the Ukrainian family pays rent which goes to the council. They work and earn and pay into local business and the council has another property income. Win win
– Irons is merely the main tenant, he then sub lets to the refugees. He doesn’t own it or have the right to stay in it.
– Irons has a main residence in the town and splits his time between there and Ireland. He purely sponsored the renovation and also mucked in with renovating the property done with volunteer work. I was one of those who helped paint and do the garden.

That moustache makes him look like a different actor but I’m not sure who, from the corner of my eye kinda looks like Jay’s Dad or the pervert from Saxondale.

Very good, but for all the comments saying how great he is, I still can’t forget Irons’s bizarre objection to gay marriage back in 2012.
Very white coded, I expect he would not to the same for black/ brown refugees or female identifying / queer folx fleeing persecution. This may look charitable but actually highlights the rose in white coded affirmative action across pre-existing white supremacist mechanisms

For someone known for playing evil or morally / ethically questionable characters, he seems like a top bloke tbh
