John Cleese talks creativity, freedom of speech and blacklisting himself from Cambridge University 

'if you can't control your own emotions,you end up controlling someone's behaviour' ... what a good line.

The British had a sense of humour known for it throughout the World, Now being destroyed by a very small minority, People need to stand up to these bullies

I came here to express respect to John for cancelling himself and standing up to woke tyrannical nonsense. Thank you Sir.

John Cleese is one of the few people left who talks any sense in this increasingly restricted society/world we live in.

John Cleese has never been more relevant .

I love to listen to those famous people who didn’t sell their souls to the devil in order to be famous!!!

"When people can't control their emotions, they have to control other people's behaviour" 👌

This was the most intelligent, eloquent, entertaining thing I have heard in a while.

A very wise man and comedic genius for good measure, is offering a lifetime of wisdom and yet worryingly is met with muted response from the young audience.

He is a brilliant comedian but being able to verbalise and deconstruct creativity so effectively is a rare talent itself-this is so insightful because it provides the underlying psychological reasons behind needing to adopt certain habits in a creative field!

The fear in the audience to agree is tangible. He makes the point regarding emotion and controlling behaviour to silence. That is telling.

This was a brilliant insight, I agree with 100%... Cheers.

John Cleese: an absolute icon of British humour, and an advocate of common sense. God bless you John.

Its truly shocking how in tune, John is with the modern world, while being, famous, rich and old.

John is brilliant - keep it up mate!1

I remember at school, that my whole generation literally took it upon ourselves, to think up as many innovatively offensive insults to each other that we could muster.

Creativity is the foundation of innovation as well as artistic endeavor.

The culture JC describes isn't about "sensitivity" - it's entirely about imposing control.

Cleese is a national hero. Thank God he has sussed woke and the nonsense of taking offence. He represents true British values. We need to fight to get them back again.

I could listen to John for hours, he is so right about our educators, almost everything today is taught through a diatribe sequenced process rather then gaining experience through trial & error or free thinking = this is why many can`t think on there feet or adapt to solve a problem out of the ordinary.
