How dare you deny my lived experience, you fascist oppressor!
Sorry about that b.
Yes, well just don't do it again, lest I take to Twitter to express my outrage.
There doesn't seem to be much twitter outrage around recently. Even the Cleese furore seems to have diminished rapidly to nothing.
Yes well they couldn't get him sacked, professionally damaged or deplatformed due to him being rich, largely retired and 79 years old, so there wasn't anywhere they could go with their outrage. There was also the small matter of rather a lot of people agreeing with him and thinking it was a perfectly reasonable thing to say.
If he'd said that London was an 'international city' there would probably have been a lot of nodding and murmuring of approval from those who got so upset.
The extraordinary thing is that the same people who will happily celebrate every other ethnicity that makes its home in London will throw their hands up in horror at the mere suggestion that there is even such a thing an English ethnicity.
Ethnicity, indigenous, immigrant and all that aside, what he said is true for the large majority of the biggest cities in the western world.
I love NYC but most Americans would tell you that it doesn't reflect a typical American city at all. Same is true of Toronto, Paris and Madrid to name but three more.
Point is, who cares?
