John Cleese got thoroughly schooled for his latest tweet about race

Last week, John Cleese somewhat ruined our vision of him by tweeting a very out-of-touch opinion on the diverse culture of London.

Labour MP David Lammy wasn’t having any of it, so he posted this response.

It took him a few days, but John Cleese posted his own opinion on that point of view – and it wasn’t great.

He was very swiftly put straight by geneticist and broadcaster, Dr Adam Rutherford.

Let’s hope that puts an end to whatever crusade Mr Cleese is currently on.

Adam Rutherford wasn’t the only person to weigh in.

Thankfully, there was some good news to raise our spirits.
