.and .could accurately describe the UK in 2020! Even sadder is the thinly veiled attempt at character assassination of Cleese by an 'i' journalist during the Brexit debates in 2019 who doesn't look old enough to be out of school, brazenly displaying 'ageism'.... https://www.independent.co.uk/voice...ents-england-xenophobia-twitter-a8935391.html
Its much older than that, it was uploaded to that youtube site in 2008 - it was actually filmed in 1987 so over 30 years ago - even more depressing that it hasnt dated much.
Yikes!! I did think a) The video or upload quality was poor for 2008 and b) My God! Hasn't Cleese aged rapidly in the last 12 years? As you say...even more depressing!! Seems things haven't gone downhill as much as I thought they had, as we were pretty near the botton then, it would seem, except social media has amplified and exposed the divisions even more.
