FORMER MONTY PYTHON CREW MEMBER LAMPOONS LOCAL POLITICIANS, GETS KNOCK ON DOOR BY POLICE…….

BEYOND PARODY

It’s why the present political and social (self anointed) elite fit so well with the Islamic mindset, where political satire is ”harassment” and must be dealt with by a knock on the door.

NOTE: Monty Python however would never mock Islam, just easy to reach Christianity which allows for freedom of speech. Christians and Jews don’t issue fatwas. Check this out:

A former Monty Python cameraman has been arrested for harassment over a series of homemade satirical posters mocking local councillors.

John Wellard, 71, said the episode was “completely pythonesque” and told the six police officers who arrived at his home on Friday night: “I wasn’t expecting the Spanish Inquisition.”

The pensioner was questioned by police for two hours after the police received complaints that a series of light-hearted posters appearing in Faversham, Kent, amounted to harassment of members of the town council.

Residents have been locked in an on-going dispute with councillors over fears the town’s historic creek area will be developed into expensive flats.

In the last few months, posters have been handed around local pubs and posted through doors, along with brown envelopes stuffed with copies of old Venezuelan banknotes bearing the note: “If you find this message please return it to your councillor.”

Bankers questioned by MPs: “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition” sketch from Monty Python

One poster depicts a Tory councillor on a donkey riding through the town, while another describes the town’s mayor and other local figures as “a growing problem in the heart of Kent”.

Mr Wellard, who refuses to confirm or deny any involvement in the posters, believes his name had been given to Kent Police because one of the posters involved a joke from the 1979 Monty Python film Life of Brian.
