  • The new Monty Python stage play is set to remove the famous but now controversial scene where a character states his right as a man to have babies which just goes to show how far ahead of their time the show-makers were, says Author Douglas Murray.
    “It is always strange when an era comes along that thinks it is so accepting and all about tolerance and it can’t put up with jokes that have survived as among the most cherished jokes for decades,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panani.
    “The people of my generation, we know Life of Brian - I can pretty much do the whole script.
    “They can’t butcher the Life of Brian - it is probably the greatest comic movie ever made.”

      When one of them shot up children and seniors at a Christian school because they were Christian, and they tried to make her out to be a martyr and a victim, and tried to make murdered children and seniors into villains, they made an enemy of me. The trans community and their "allies" are completely unhinged.

      Very interesting framing!! I like it. Seems like evil can't handle TRUTH. As it needs lies to twist, imprison, and distort. "The filter that's been pulled over your eyes, to blind you from the truth". Hmmmm. Speaking as someone who used to be on the other side of this, and a fully brainwashed, queer theory loving little TRA..? That was EXACTLY what it was like. A filter. That inverted everything, and flipped it on its head, so that evil seemed good, and good seemed evil. Sh*t is seriously SO f*cking spooky! Even more so, now that I realize how much I was unknowingly taken in by evil, and would speak in favor of it, to help perpetuate it, before the scales fell from my eyes. I AT LEAST believe in the Devil as a very apt symbol / metaphor for evil, now. And maybe more.

    There are four people in my favourite scene. Stan, Reg, another bloke and Judith. Here's how the conversation goes.
    Reg: Why don't you shut up about women, Stan, you're putting us off.
    Stan: Women have a perfect right to take part in our Movement, Reg.
    Reg: Why are you always on about women, Stan?
    Stan: I want to be one. I want to be a woman. From now on I want you all to call me 'Loretta.'
    Reg: What?
    Stan: It's my right as a man.
    Judith: Why do you want to be 'Loretta,' Stan?
    Stan: I want to have babies.
    Reg: You want to have babies?!?
    Stan: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
    Reg: But you can't have babies!
    Stan: Don't you oppress me.
    Reg: I'm not oppressing you, Stan - you haven't got a womb. Where's the fetus gunna gestate? You gunna keep it in a box?
    Judith: Here, I've got an idea. Suppose we agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans, but he can have the RIGHT to have babies.
    3rd bloke: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressor for your RIGHT to have babies, brother. Sister - sorry.
    Reg: What's the point?
    3rd bloke: What?
    Reg: What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't have babies.
    3rd bloke: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.

    Again, a misunderstanding from those who haven’t actually watched the entire film. The Loretta scene has a brilliant pay off later in the film. When Judith comes running into the group to tell Reg (Cleese’s character) that Brian is being crucified and they need to act now, Reg’s response is to call for “immediate discussion”. Judith gets frustrated and storms out to which Reg comments, “oh, a little power trip for for the feminists there”, the group laughs except for Stan who is now Loretta, who reacts, “what?” Noticing this, Reg leans over and apologises, “oh sorry Loretta”. Reg, initially confused actually accepts that Stan is now Loretta and this character is still part of their group. One would think the film is affirming for these trans people in this case. It is a perfect example of how most of us react and then accept. But no, these morons call to cancel the scene which would then mean cancelling the final pay off which is quite sweet really. Idiots.

      The lack of oxygen can create a kind of calming effect as the brain gets duller as it tries to function on inadequite blood flow, and less O2, the point was made, it can become an addictive crutch for some people, especially if the are already struggling with fear and anxiety.
      Studies also show that it causes both long and short term damage to memory and many other brain functions, as the tiny capillaries die from elevated CO2 and reduced O2 reducing the blood transported in the brain by capillary action.
      People showing O2 sensors behind masks, well below safe levels, have been deemed 'not safe for consumption' by the ministry of nonsense.
      Just so You are aware, Our system does give Us warnings in the form of shortness of breath, headaches and dizzines, before fainting and blackouts, as warnings of low O2 and high CO2, but after repeated exposure, these warnings subside so they don't cause more harm than good.

    I went to see “The Life of Brian” 5 times at the cinema with different friends. Each time I picked up jokes I’d missed because I was laughing until I was sore. I wasn’t a Christian then but have been for over 31 years. I still find this movie hilarious to this day. For me it does highlight the emptiness of ‘religion’. That is, following a religious movement based on rules and regulations, as if it will get you into heaven. It won’t. It’s a personal relationship with God the Father, through faith in His Son Jesus Christ alone.

      In the 80s we had a cival construction crew who worked away 2 weeks at a time and always carried a video of LoB and MPatHG.
      They would watch them with the sound off and each member of the crew doing the dialogue for a character. So funny to watch them . They had it down pat.
