John Cleese criticism of the London mayor Sadiq Khan. The actor, known from Fawlty Towers, had said that the capital ’not really English’. And he added: “I’m not the only one that thinks so. Friends from all over the world to share my vision.” Mayor Khan said: “These comments sound as if John Cleese’s character Basil Fawlty plays. Londoners know that diversity is our greatest strength. We are proud to be English capital, a European city and a worldwide tourist attraction.”
