John Cleese blacklists himself from Cambridge Uni event ’in protest’

Fawlty Towers and Monty Python star John Cleese has pulled out of a Cambridge University event and blacklisted himself “in protest” over his Hitler impersonation, according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt. Mr Cleese cancelled a speech to the Cambridge Union after hearing another speaker had been blacklisted by the student club for doing a Hitler impression. Mr Bolt said the art critic, Andrew Graham-Dixon, had done the impression during a presentation “damning Adolf Hitler for banning what Hitler had called decadent art”.
