I'm American and I don't think I'm obsessed with money; I've turned down interviews from several big corporations that offered me more money than I know what to do with because I thought the company was too evil (don't really want to start a flame war about which companies, doesn't really matter regardless). Obviously I'm one person, maybe Americans really are more obsessed with money than British folks, and maybe this expression means something something different in England, but typically when people say a city is becoming "UnAmerican", or something similar, it's a dogwhistle for some underlying racism, usually some kind of crap about Mexicans dealing drugs or something; it's a really useful strategy, because when you call them out on it, they can always have some level of plausible deniability of saying "I don't care about race! I care about culture!" or some such nonsense; point is when Cleese says "it's not English", a part of me thinks that this is just code for something much worse. I like John Cleese and don't want to accuse him of racism willy-nilly but this interview does kind of make me wonder.
