John Cleese rules out a return to the BBC<\/h3>\n

John Cleese has launched a new rant about BBC bosses after a resurfaced article about Boris Johnson came to light on Twitter this week.<\/p>\n

The Fawlty Towers star came across a 2019 tweet from David Schneider, who expressed his opinion about the BBC allegedly not wanting to call the former Prime Minister a liar.<\/p>\n

Columnist Peter Oborne wrote in his The Guardian column at the time: “I have talked to senior BBC executives, and they tell me they personally think it\u2019s wrong to expose lies told by a British prime minister because it undermines trust in British politics.<\/p>\n

“Is that a reason for giving Johnson free rein to make any false claim he wants?”<\/p>\n

David tweeted the quote from the article and asked: “Is this really where we’re at?”<\/p>\n

After the tweet resurfaced on Friday, John shared his thoughts on X, formerly known as Twitter, writing: “This demonstrates the utter gutlessness of the current BBC top brass, whose only aim in life is to hang on to jobs they could get nowhere else.<\/p>\n

“What destroys people’s trust in politics is lying. Not pointing it out is complicity.”<\/p>\n

It’s not the first swipe the actor has made against the BBC in recent times.<\/p>\n

The 83-year-old has accused the corporation of giving into wokeness and ruled out a Fawlty Towers and Monty Python reboot for that reason.<\/p>\n

In 2015, the actor said there was “no way” he would work with the BBC again, claiming editors had “no idea what they’re doing” in an interview with Shortlist.<\/p>\n
