I saw him at a Cambridge uni doing a talk. He’s a very dull man.

A text book case of False Consciousness.

Classical Marxist comedians like Lenin, Engels and Cleese have always had an underdeveloped political consciousness of oppression on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and race.
They tend to misperceive their real position in society and systematically misunderstand their genuine interests within the social relations of production under capitalism.
False consciousness denotes people’s inability to recognise inequality, oppression, and exploitation in a capitalist society because of the prevalence within it of views that naturalise and legitimise the existence of social classes.

Imo, he is just another secret capitalist inroader intent on entrenching the class divides like every other Pom that ever went to that bastion of imperial domination - Oxford University
boo hiss la guillotine la guillotine

I tried to explain all this to Cleese years ago. it's obviously too late now...

I feel ya, bro. I feel ya.

He went to Cambridge, not Oxford.

All over Cambodia, ladyboys and lady cops are consoling each other, many weeping openly on the streets after hearing the vicious and spiteful remarks of an aging British celebrity. Is there no end to this man's cruelty?
