John Cleese: London is no longer English city
Controversial ... John Cleese

FAWLTY Towers legend John Cleese has come under fire after declaring: "London is no longer an English city."
The comic, 71, said that the mix of cultures had helped the capital win the 2012 Olympics.
But he added that it can be hard to find an English person and that the "parent culture has dissipated".
Cleese, who is performing in Sydney, was asked on Australian TV what he thought of last month's riots around the UK.
He replied: "I'm not sure what's going on in Britain. Let me say this, I don't know what's going on in London because London is no longer an English city.
"That's how they got the Olympics. They said, 'We're the most cosmopolitan city on Earth', but it doesn't feel English.
"I had a Californian friend come over two months ago, walk down the King's Road and say to me, 'Well, where are all the English people?'
"I love having different cultures around but when the parent culture kind of dissipates, you're left thinking, 'What's going on?' "
The Monty Python star's remarks prompted criticism from Mayor Boris Johnson, who said London's diversity should be "celebrated".
Labour's Ken Livingstone added: "To stay competitive London must be a global centre of business, culture and innovation, none of which can be achieved without people of all nations working and living here."
More than a quarter of London's population is from an ethnic minority, and there are 300 languages spoken.

I was in London airport and saw only one white English employee.

Enoch was right, with his speech back in the 1960s >:(

All diversity means to the libtards is a lack of white people. Therefore when they say diversity should be celebrated all it means is they want white people to disappear.

John Cheese is right. I thought John Cheese is a lib?
PS his name is actually Cheese. His father changed it to Cleese for obvious reasons.

John Cleese was part of the Monty Python comedy group, which did the controversial movie "Life of Brian." They're definitely libs to say the least.

Oh no no no.
"Life of Brian" is basically a spoof of the New Testament. It was banned in several countries when it first came out almost 30 years ago.
