...he’s chosen to ‘boycott’ this country and live overseas...so he’s not really an objective voice is my thought...just projecting his bias out there...

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.

...no the winters are not the reason he’s stated in anything I’ve read, Arista......he seems to be quite anti and biased about this country so isn’t really an objective voice I would say...

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

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?

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

Not Cleese actually being around in the 60s and 70s to make a comparison unlike the twitter mob who cant even remember when Doctor Leg was in Eastenders

It's easy to assume twitter is all one young generation. I did too. You'd be surprised at the large mix of ages. Middle aged and older people are on it too.

The hate mob is ALL young people who didn't experience the 60s or 70s?

I don't know why it bothers people so much as most are happy to run GB down about various things they think is wrong about it, so you'de think he'de be being cheered, funny old lot the Brits. Personally I think it's one of the best countries to live in, but we are little too soft.

It's mad isn't it. It's okay to run down the country so long as you don't mention anything might aggravate the lefties or the liberals otherwise you're a filthy racist.
