Matthew Arnold said about those who feel they are cancelled: “Sounds like a bunch of old people being upset that their material isn’t funny to a younger generation, shocker.Simon Foot added: “Norton is absolutely right. You can say what you like , but you are then accountable for what you’ve said. You can’t just say ‘Oh I’m a comedian, I say what I like, if you don’t like it you’re just part of woke/cancel culture’.
Many were dismissive of Norton’s comments though, with Callum Anderson saying: “Holding someone accountable isn't the same as cancel culture. “You hold someone accountable with facts. You try to cancel somebody because their views don't align with your feelings. "People will try to cancel you if the truth is uncomfortable to hear, but they can't hold you to some sort of 'moral standard' for having an objective viewpoint.”Helen Davies said she felt that “the world has gone completely insane”, adding:"It’s comedy. We are losing our humour to the PC police, and our own ability to laugh at ourselves.”"Yeah Cleese's attitude is from another era but so is he.
