I've only known and loved his comedy. It's OK to stay in your lane.Just reminds me how revolting Cleese's political views have always been. Can't deny he's a talented comedian, but he's always been insufferable in his 'both sides' centrism. I remember his 1980s self-help-psychology books being particularly annoying, with their pop-psyche argument for voting Lib Dem. He was Moonbeam before Moonbeam was Moonbeam (now I think about it, his position was essentially the same as P&Ns wanna-be mystic, just better expressed).
In practice everything he says here applies to supposed centrists and self-styled 'moderates'. Being a 'moderate' means you can spit hate at _twice_ as many people. This is exactly how the likes of Nick Cohen behave.
Edit - I remain a big fan of his comedic work. I guess like Ricky Gervaise or Steve Coogan, he used his own flaws as material for his art - there's clearly a lot of Cleese in Fawlty as there is Gervaise in David Brent and Coogan in Alan Partridge. That doesn't mean one has to like the performer themselves, though.
