Citing important economic and social examples of how countries in Europe would benefit from opening their doors to refugees who’ve risked their lives in numerous ways to escape Syria, the “Last Week Tonight” host makes a compelling case about how to address the current migrant crisis. Oliver also makes a young refugee’s dream come true, with the help of a couple of soap stars.

For those of you who have been following #Piggate, the comedian also included a segment on David Cameron’s alleged adventures with a dead pig.
