“In a follow-up tweet, Cleese added: “I apologise to anyone at Cambridge who was hoping to talk with me, but perhaps some of you can find a venue where woke rules do not apply.”
Lol. Good for him

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. And even a jackass is right every now and then.
Though it seems his is fully correct in this case.

It seems people today do not understand that humor is a coping mechanism, it may be because we have it too good. People made fun of Hitler during WWII, Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War, Bin Laden after 9/11 etc. Even on Hogan’s Heroes a good portion of the cast was Jewish, John Banner lost the majority of his family in concentration camps.

He should just do a woke tour, and put in an announcement that there will be zero tolerance for woke snowflakes in the audience attending or asking PC questions. All woke and offended people will be beaten and thrown out. Give these woke idiots a taste of their own medicine!

People made fun of Hitler during WWIIHollywood ran out Charlie Chaplin for him mocking Hitler, didn't want to offend the Germans so they wouldn't lose access to the lucrative German market.

Now they'll run out anybody who mocks Winnie the Xi and the chicoms, or mentions the slave labor/concentration camps. Things that make you go hmmmm....

He should avoid Stalingrad (Volgograd these days). He won’t have much fun there.
