The 79-year-old Monty Pyton star, who revealed last year that he was moving to the Caribbean island of Nevis, made the comments on Twitter.

I saw a live performance of John Cleese about a year ago.  Paid $75 just to hear him bash Trump for 90 min.  What a disappointment.  The only takeaway was learning that Eric Idle sas the only truly funny one of the bunch.

Unlike the fools in the USA that promise to leave the USA and don't, expect to see many like Cleece leave Europe.  Europe has been lost to the mussies.  in a few decades, they will begin the destruction of Europe as they did in Syria.
