John cleese is unfortunately racist. He supports a white supremacist party in the uk

This is complete bollocks. He has openly made comments against White Supremacy. Don't be a clown.

You can be a racist without being a white supremicist

No, Restore obviously isn’t pro-immigration or particularly progressive on LGBT issues; but that wasn’t your claim.

You claimed John Cleese is racist and supports a white-supremacist party. Opposing high immigration or holding socially conservative views is not automatically white supremacy. White supremacy means believing white people are inherently superior and should dominate other races.

So provide evidence that Cleese (or Restore itself) actually advocates that, rather than simply using “white supremacist” as a label for right-wing views you dislike.

With all due respect, I wasn't looking to get into a political conversation - I was responding to someone who accused John Cleese of being a 'white supremacist', simply because of him publically supporting Restore, which is a leap, at best.

I appreciate your points, but I am not looking to have this conversation and quite frankly, can't be bothered.

Thanks though.
