Monty Python’s John Cleese Backs UK Exit from EU, Says Group’s Chief Should Be Hanged

Share

And now for something completely different:

Monty Python’s John Cleese came out in the last few days for Brexit, the British movement to leave the European Union. He also said that Jean-Claude Juncker, head of the EU, should be “hanged.”

Cleese has been on a rant since Saturday on Twitter, fighting with everyone. Fans can’t believe how stupid and right wing he’s become. But maybe four failed marriages and lots of alimony will do that to you.

Cleese is also Trumpian in his argument about limiting immigration:

It’s unclear how the other Pythons feel about Cleese’s declarations. At first I thought it was tongue in cheek. But Cleese seems to be dead serious here. Very strange in deed and causing an uproar in the UK.
