John Cleese claims London is "no longer an English city"

The Comedian John Cleese claims London is no longer a English City. He made the comments during an Australian TV interview with ABC's Chris Uhlmann for the 7.30 show. "That's how they got the Olympics, they said 'we're the most cosmopolitan city on Earth'. But it doesn't feel English.

"I had a Californian friend come over two months ago, walk down the King's Road and said to me, 'Well, where are all the English people?'

"I love having different cultures around but when the parent culture kind of dissipates you are left thinking, 'well, what's going on?'" Mr Cleese is a well known supporter of the Liberal Democrats in Britain and has even made party political broadcasts for them in the past. He also claims he could not afford to live in England due to high taxes.
