There is a certain irony to his complaining about foreigners flocking to another country whilst he himself is an expat to another.

Yes they can. That's the trouble with Twitter and the Internet generally, it gives a platform to the ignorant and the biased. And I mean on all sides.

What a shame when someone like Cleese is cut down by some no marks on Twitter.

... No Arista...when he was asked directly why he was leaving the U.K..?...his response began ..’because I’m so disappointed with so much about this country...’...and went on to detail some of his ‘gripes’...he’s not someone who holds this country in high regard so not someone who is objective...

By the same token Ammi, there are plenty of people on this forum who bang on daily about how rubbish this country is, and how everything's messed up, how English culture is meaningless... etc. etc. . They would still think themselves objective though.

....eeeek I’m just going to stick with John Cleese.....my thoughts are that he’s not very objective and although I've likes his comedy...?..I’ve always found him generally a moaner and very negative...(...quite bad tempered actually, a bit Basil Fawlty..)...

I see him as a bit of a Basil too. I'm a huge fan but I bet he's bloody insufferable in real life.

Yeah, as a person he has a very grumpy reputation. Was it him or one of the others that always caused issues in the Monty Python reunions?

Isn't that all the same opinion though? They can objectively think the entire country is ****ed up?

I never said they were unobjective, only that, if Cleese is, then everyone who criticises is.

I left the decision whether they all are, or whether none of them are, up to you.

I think it was mainly him. He's not my favourite Python though. It's all the others, and then him.
