English actor and screenwriter John Cleese is coming out in defense of Britain’s Christian heritage.
The famous “Monty Python” writer posted to X this month that Great Britain has been impacted by “Christian values” at the “deepest level” and warned against Muslim influence in the U.K.
“Despite the many mistakes made by churches,” Cleese wrote, “for centuries, British people have been influenced by Christ’s teaching. If these values are replaced by Islamic ones, this will not be Britain any more.”
The UK has always been based at the deepest level on Christian values, regardless of dogma

Cleese’s post came in response to a video from Susan Hall, a leader in the Conservative group in the London Assembly. She explained Britain’s status as a Christian country needs to be preserved and warned against the Green Party, which, if it assumes power, reportedly has plans to “disestablish” the Church of England as Britain’s state denomination.
This comes, too, as the British government has announced a new definition for “Islamophobia,” which it now calls “anti-Muslim hostility,” according to Christian Today.
