English actor and screenwriter John Cleese is coming out in defense of Britain’s Christian heritage.
The famous “Monty Python” writer posted to X this month that Great Britain has been impacted by “Christian values” at the “deepest level” and warned against Muslim influence in the U.K.
“Despite the many mistakes made by churches,” Cleese wrote, “for centuries, British people have been influenced by Christ’s teaching. If these values are replaced by Islamic ones, this will not be Britain any more.”
Cleese’s post came in response to a video from Susan Hall, a leader in the Conservative group in the London Assembly. She explained Britain’s status as a Christian country needs to be preserved and warned against the Green Party, which, if it assumes power, reportedly has plans to “disestablish” the Church of England as Britain’s state denomination.
This comes, too, as the British government has announced a new definition for “Islamophobia,” which it now calls “anti-Muslim hostility,” according to Christian Today.
The government defines it, in part, as “the prejudicial stereotyping of Muslims, or people perceived to be Muslim, including because of their ethnic or racial backgrounds or their appearance, and treating them as a collective group defined by fixed and negative characteristics, with the intention of encouraging hatred against them, irrespective of their actual opinions, beliefs or actions as individuals.”
Critics have argued the definition is overly broad and will have a chilling effect on free speech.
European evangelist David Robertson wrote the new definition could one day be used to silence Christians.
“I can see a day coming in the not-too-distant future when … writers like me will be prosecuted under the Islamophobia blasphemy law for spreading hate against Muslims,” he wrote. “But preaching Christ and his word is not hatred, nor is it any kind of phobia. It is Christian love.”

He’s lucky-won’t be around when it totally happens.
Did he get arrested yet?
Better late than never!
Stop electing the same fake politicians
He’s made some unkind comments about maga, Trump, and our 2nd amendment. Effem.
Funny how so many who were “subversive” in their youth do a complete turn-around years later.
I believe Sid Vicious, the 1970s Punk Rocker who once mocked the Queen, has also become pretty conservative — and patriotic.
I hope he’s in America, so he doesn’t get arrested.
UK would lock him up just to make the Muzzies happy.
muslims believe in one way tolerance
which is tyranny
Did he get arrested yet?
__________
Did he do it with a funny walk?
Sid's ashes were scattered in New Jersey in 1979. You're thinking of Johnny Rotten :)
He, however, likes the chinese.

I hope Cleese is not in Britain. He could be arrested for that.
Islam is not a religion. It is a collectivist political system
Better late, than never, eh John?
Do the younger Brits even know who he is?
“He’s made some unkind comments about maga, Trump, and our 2nd amendment. Effem.”
True, but it is a hopeful sign when we see liberals finally waking up.
Sid Vicious, of the sex Pistols died in 1979—his bandmate—Johnny Rotten—real name John Lydon is who you are referring to. His is a real character and interesting guy—really like him.
Leftists never take things to their logical conclusion.
That is, until it’s too late.
Cleese is a perfect example.
In fact he jeered and made jokes about anyone who thought that Christianity, British values, history, customs and culture had any value what so ever.
He was one of the ones doing the destroying.
And now he thinks that getting rid of them might be a problem?
:sigh:
Guess he never heard of Chesterton's fence. Which is, put very simply, don't tear down things until you know what they are protecting and how.
Geeze, thanks John.
Where were you when Britain needed you.
