Former “Monty Python” star John Cleese has been an outspoken opponent of political correctness and its harmful effects on free expression. Now that Scotland has proposed legislation that seeks to prosecute people guilty of “stirring up hatred,” Cleese believes that creative expression may be seriously at risk.
Speaking during an online debate hosted by Dr. Simon Knight of the Academy of Ideas, Cleese said that the spontaneity of the creative process could be threatened by such hate speech legislation.
