I see comments just demonstrating Cleese's points. He talks about being kind to people and in return gets nastiness in defamatory statements, apparently people choosing to accept things written by the press he complains about, which he directly contradicts. He has a story about an episode in a German bar showing how the clientele actually understood The Germans episode, when Brits widely didn't, I'm sorry to say.
