Edit: Didn’t know about his other views. I no longer consider his views forgivable.
He is remarkably progressive and lucid for his age, so I’m inclined to cut him some slack for the topics I wholeheartedly disagree about with him.
For example, his support for Brexit I find hard to forgive… but unlike most of the ghouls that supported it, he seems genuine in his opinions and remains at odds and vocally against the Global Far Right.
I think he was more like a moderate, unironical centrist. The people he hung out with (rest of the Pythons that is) were more progressive which probably caused some sort of social contagion on him as long as he was with them.

A very funny and clever man during his youth. That guy is gone.
