Any backlash he's facing probably comes due to the fact that he's been such a f*ckin libtard on this issue for decades.

It’s like injecting yourself with cancer. Madness.

Unfortunately he’s still stubbornly not on board. Similar with JK Rowling, who fully supports Leftist causes which are the source for many of her country’s problems, it’s the trans issue that has her on The List.

This single issue has John at odds with his Brit comrades. He still suffers bigly from TDS.

In that X-thread the main criticism = "boomer"

Stupid is as stupid does

Cleese is a "boomer" like Jane Fonda is a boomer. (neither is)**
But both were happy to tear down and attack what they now regret losing. Hence the backlash.

**Edited: for those whose sarcasm stick went limp.

Besides, Christianity, or the Church whether it be Catholic or Anglican has provided him and his partners in Monty Python a lot of material over the years, that Christians would laugh along with.

You really cannot say the same about Islam. It takes itself way too seriously.

Cleese made millions mocking Christ

Maybe he should take responsibility for making millions mocking Christ instead of lecturing others.

Interesting as he spent most of the 70s, 80s and 90s railing against Christianity.

“Life of Brian” was fantastic satire and excellent social commentary.

No shite Sherlock. Welcome to the party, pal.

The X-thread was loaded with nitwits labeling Cleese a "boomer".
That was the point.

You sort of stepped on your own dick here, Kellog. Trust me, if those houses were for sale, and I wanted them, I'd write a check for each without batting an eye.

Not to bust your Boomer bashing, they're both part of the "Silent Generation"...

Like whey some people actually call some 60y/o's Boomers when they're actually Gen Xers...

I was born in December of '63, somehow the Boomer generation shifted to '65, when in fact it originally ended in 1960... I'm the furthest thing from a Boomer.. Graduated HS in '82. Watching movies like Fast Times, Porkey's and all the John Hughes movies.. Was in college in the 80's, and always considered myself a Gen Xer... Besides the fact my dad was 10 when the war ended..

This is exactly what Merrick Garland and Chris Wray were really talking about in October, 2024 when they both talked about suppressing "hate speech and misinformation" in the next Administration (assuming that the puppet Kamala had won). Only thing is, "Hate speech and misinformation" is a misnomer. What these scumbags really want to do is suppress the TRUTH.

The only difference between America and the UK right now? They have the Globalist puppet Starmer while America has Donald Trump. But even then, in radical Leftist areas like California, Oregon, Minnesota, etc. the situation is almost as bad as it is in Canada, the UK, and elsewhere.

PS - I hope Angela Merkel chokes on a chicken bone today. More than any other European leader that Globalist scumbag championed the mass invasion of radical Islamic trash into that continent.

And I think he still would be except for some influence from Terry Gilliam, the American in the group. Gilliam has been a very vocal critic of political correctness in England and a defender of American culture and freedom of speech.

“Boomer” on social media is just shorthand for “people older than me who I want to blame for all the world’s ills.”

Cleese is also the kind of guy who gives zero fricks about being cancelled, I’m sure.

He’s made his money and is firmly entrenched as one of the greatest comedic minds of the past century.

Tell me you have only a 3rd grade education without telling me you have only a 3rd grade education.

3rd grade might be a bit high, though.
