John Cleese has again threatened to leave the UK after British MPs decided not to go ahead with the second phase of the Leveson Inquiry. Before a crucial Commons vote on the British Government’s Data Protection Bill, the comedian said he would be “out of here” if the “corrupt” British Prime Minister won the vote. On Wednesday, MPs voted by 304 to 295 not to amend the Bill to establish a statutory inquiry dubbed Leveson Part Two. Reacting to the vote on Twitter, British Culture Secretary Matt Hancock hailed the result as “a great day for a free and fair press”. The battle goes on to keep our promise to them to get the truth they deserve and protection for victims in the future.
