John Cleese emerges as unlikely defender of British culture and civilisation

News24 host James Morrow praises John Cleese for standing up for British culture, arguing the comedian has recognised that the country went too far in undermining its own institutions.

“It’s good for him [John Cleese] to see him standing up for this business,” Mr Morrow said.

“John Cleese is interesting because after using his whole career to undermine so many British institutions, he has now come back with a reference and realised. Oh, I think we went a bit too far here.

“Now he’s actually one of the great defenders of British culture and civilisation.”
