He hates the way London has become, yet support the liberal democrats who think London isn't muslim enough. Then he belongs to the class of limousine liberals who can buy estates in towns who are spared from the "liberal vision" they have imposed on the rest of the nation.
It's not funny anymore, mr. Fawlty.
I pretty much stopped paying attention to him after his bout of Bush Derangement Syndrome several years ago.
Maybe he would really like NYC and run for congress.. he would fit nicely
He’s right, much as many American cities no longer feel American...but like many American liberals, he fails to realize it’s his own ideology (and, likely, voting patterns) that have caused this, and allow it to continue.
Yet like most libs, he chooses to leave the yokels behind and live in his own ivory tower somewhere.
I just spent a week in London in February. I loved it.
If liberals are anything, they are consistent and that transcends national borders.
Cleese was an adherent to liberal policies that ruined London. He fled to Bath but I’m sure he took the belief in the policies with him. Next thing you know, Bath will be infested with the yob culture.
Same as happens here with the libs fleeing California for Colorado and New Yorkers bringing their failed policies to North Carolina.
Cleese mocked any conservative who raised questions against “multiculturalism” and tried to prevent London (or indeed the entire country) from sliding into the hole about which he now whines.
I saw an interview of him where he expressed surprise (and not a little disgust) at what he termed his father’s “petty bourgeois” anxiety about him taking a safe, secure, civil service job with a nice pension upon leaving university. I figured the whole Monty Python lot for Marxists anyway. Nice hypocrisy John “Cheese”.
Mr. Cleese: YOU and your ilk are responsible for the mess in London, no one else.
You are an IDIOT because you continue to support those who are destroying England.....
BTW, love Fawlty Towers....
Hmm.....
Not unlike how some American cities atmosphere resembles certain foreign countries. Or how there is a certain “culture” if you can call it that, in many city neighborhoods dominated by African-Americans or other ethnic groups.
Well, I know many people who have lived in different cities and suburbs in America, and this is a common theme. Many say that even some formerly pleasant suburbs they lived in years ago have changed.
This phenomenon may help explain how far flung areas have seen big suburban growth. For example, Frederick, Maryland, about 40 miles from Washington, DC, has seen big suburban growth in recent years. Could this be from people wanting to seek a place which resembles places they grew up? Because the places they grew up have changed so drastically? Just asking the question. Why would so many people want to live in Frederick or Hagerstown areas who have to go into the DC area for work everyday?
He’s a lib moron hypocrite. Overrated and his time is gone. Monty Python was great but the times have changed John. Just go away.
This is kind of funny, since the city was originally founded as a Roman spa resort.
Full of muslims.
Very well said. Eventually, though they are slow, the zombies will be too numerous, and their hunger drives them to do nasty things.
During the early Python years, many of the others didn't get along well with him because he was too conservative. Now Palin and Idle have moved farther to the right (at least by some of their recent comments), while Cleese has moved to the left. T Jones is, and always has been, a bit of a loon, politically wise. Gilliam is hard to figure but may be closer to libertarian.
Champman continues to be not appearing in this post!
Monterrey Jack Cheese speaks. I no longer listen, unless he’s being intentionally funny.
(Cleese’s family name used to be Cheese, but his father changed it to Cleese in 1915. He lives, or used to live, in Monterrey, CA. I don’t know if he still lives there.)
I had a conversation recently with some libs from Burlington, VT. They were extolling the virtues of Vermont, and admired how one is not really accepted by the denizens until some time has passed, and one is finally considered a Vermonter. They do not conform to the rest of the world, and expect the rest of the world to conform to them. That sounded OK to me-sort of like the idea that immigrants who settled in America in the past became Americans.
Then one of the libs starts in on immigration, and how we need to have completely open borders. I pointed out the contradiction to him that being swamped by a bunch of illiterate Turd World peasants is not a way to preserve the Vermont enclave he loves so well. I guess he assumed Vermont would stay the way he loves it and the rest of us become Mexico.
Liberalism really is a mental disorder.
Why John Cleese! You must be a racist because you want to enjoy your own culture! /s
It is kinda creepy how this parallels why I moved from Seattle to rural Kentucky.
Exactly what you said. It’s no longer English because of what liberal policies have done. They’ve created a large dependent class of native English and opened the doors to thousands/millions? that don’t have Western values and who are also on the dole. I’m sure there are still parts of England that are reminiscent of the England of old, but as a whole it’s been permanently marred by liberal policies. I have lots of family over there and I know one cousin has left for Spain—not sure of her reasons, and one male cousin would love to escape to the U.S. if he could. I like England being England—full of English, but like here, the liberals/leftists are (have) destroyed it.
Thinking about it, it’s the same here and what the liberals do. How many have fled California because California is no longer California only to spread their disease to other parts of the country? Being on the left, means they never have to admit they’ve screwed up and they never apologize for being so very, very wrong. Enjoy Bath while you can Mr. Cleese. You are old enough now that you probably won’t have to see the day that Bath is no longer Bath—that outcome will be for the poor generations left behind to inherit.
