When observations of reality get you labelled a racist you know people are losing the plot.
I don't understand what is wrong with people wanting their country to maintain its own roots and sense of identity. Part of what makes travelling so great is the opportunity to experience different cultures; it would be sad if visiting certain countries didn't allow for that anymore.
Also anyone that uses the term 'dog-whistling' really is a dishonest prick. It's just a way of linking people to extremists even if they've never said anything remotely extreme.

@No-Quarter I have to admit I don't actually understand what that phrase is supposed to mean in this context.

It’s supposed to mean your using terms that aren’t really racist but a racist would agree . Like one one of those whistles only a dog can hear .
It’s a way of labelling someone a racist with very tenuous evidence.
Gaslighting is another classic , ie “ im not fucked in the head , my opponents are gaslighting me” get fucked you are probably nuts . You’re at the very least mentally weak if this is what you’d rather do than actually debate what you’re claiming.

Yeah it's very strange, particularly for someone as leftwing as Cleese. Who was he dog whistling to? His mates on the right?
His comments are a bit ironic though given that he's pissing off to live in the Caribbean.

Don Joly got ‘triggered’ by Cleese’s tweet.
Did you see what I did there?

This is the same Cleese that's derisive of Trump? Must be bloody hard to keep on the side of your perennially outraged leftist. No wonder they're always on edge - the slightest misstep and the rabid pack would descend on them.

@antipodean I think you just need to be offended by and for everyone and everything, but reserve the right to pick and choose things to be offended by and for.

People paid for this? Certainly some weird fetishes out there.

So she's handing out money for people who commentate on National Geographic shots?

@Rembrandt I'm guessing Barbara doesn't watch much European TV, or Brazlian weather girls.
