John Cleese and his social media comment on London

John Cleese did not know that his comment on London would land him in such a war of words and cause a Twitter stir. Around a week back, John commented on his Twitter handle that London is no more an English city.

Actor John, 79 took to his Twitter to share his thoughts on the changes that London has gone through over the years.

He wrote for his 5.6 million fans and followers on Twitter:

“Some years ago I opined that London was not really an English city anymore.”

He continued:

“Since then, virtually all my friends from abroad have confirmed my observation. So there must be some truth in it….”

“I note also that London was the UK city that voted most strongly to remain in the EU.”

The Twitter comments on John Cleese’s post

No sooner had he uploaded this post, there were comments from his followers on Twitter. Some agreed but others had different views. One Twitter user wrote:

“You mean it’s a bit like New York?”

A second follower of John commented:

“London is an amazing city, and it’s packed full of people from all over the world, so perhaps that amazingness is a result of that same multiculturalism? Anyway, to me London seems very English, and I only wish that more of England was as English as London-open, fun, diverse.”

A third of his Twitter followers wrote:

“London has long been a British city, John. Which you might expect, what with it being the capital.”
