UK press is Europe’s worst: Cleese

Actor John Cleese has claimed Britain has the “worst press in Europe”.

During an outspoken radio interview, the Monty Python comedian said he was “fed up” and leaving the UK, arguing “corruption here is far, far worse than people know”.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4, he said: “There’s rather a lot in this country that needs to be improved and I don’t like it when people pretend there isn’t a problem.

“I do think we have the worst press in Europe. The European Broadcasting Union poll said we were 33 out of 33 European countries in trust for printed media for four years in a row. That suggests there might need some improvement.” 0 John Cleese says Britain has Europe’s ‘worst press’
