No fair! Britain has better celebrities, and they no longer share any except for grungy rockers.

To quote Rowan : I like curry but now that we have the recipe is it necessary for them to stay?’

[Democrat = party of treason]

BEAN!

[JonPreston]

The headline reads; 1 HOUR AGO! yet the attached YouTube comments begin 3 days ago.

[Starboard]

As bad as it is, censorship inevitably morphs into an even more serious form of intolerance known as lawfare, as witnessed in the U.S.

[ShadowAce]

He made this speech in 2012.

Not sure what happened 1 HOUR AGO--even based on the date that the video was uploaded.

A better version, which does not have the stupid voiceovers for subscribing:

Rowan’s speech was not recent. Though its content is timeless. The speech has been reappearing on Youtube because of current events in the U.K.

I've heard him speak before.I think he's great. Very intelligent and articulate. I also love him as Blackadder (except the first season) and as Inspector Fowler. Didn't care much for Mr Bean though...except for the parodies of Mr Bean that Harry & Paul did.

Rowan Atkinson JUST OBLITERATED The UK Government “He Refuses To Listen”

Oh. I see. The UK government has been "obliterated".

This is an English language website. So, Starmer has resigned, the King has dissolved Parliament and is ruling by decree after appointing Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage to the Privy Council?

This is what is required. Those at no risk of arrest coming out in defense of those easily made an example of. Good on Mr. Atkinson!

Rowan Atkinson obtained an MSc in Electrical Engineering, and had started on a PhD before he switched to acting.

Perhaps this background allows him to see objective reality.
