Actor
John Cleese backs Burnham-On-Sea wind farm protesters
Actor
John Cleese has given his backing to protesters fighting a wind
farm on the outskirts of Burnham-On-Sea.
The
actor's mother used to live at Brent Knoll, close to where the
wind turbines are planned, and this week he sent through his support
to the KNOll to Wind farm Action Group.
John
said: "I'm very sorry to hear about the proposed wind turbines.
Surely, they should put a massive eyesore like this somewhere
ugly, and not somewhere beautiful."
Chris
Evans, from the Action Group, who has been in contact with Mr
Cleese, said: "It appears even someone as creative and innovative
as a member of Monty Python cannot imagine these proposals
being suitable for this location. These proposals appear to be
beyond parody, and even beyond Python."
