Well, Eric.

If you will will personally come and make a ‘citizens arrest’ on me for being a denier, and can deliver me to the World Court, I’ll stand your kangaroo court trial.

But until you are willing to personally make such arrests.....

Shut yer gob.

It would be ironic if Idle himself ended up being prosecuted on a similarly ideological basis for his own extremely politically incorrect body of work.

We should just enroll him in The Spandau Ballet, inadvertently...

The demented cult of liberal idiocy is like invasion of the body snatchers. In their heyday Monty Python poked fun at conformity and lockstep thinking, like a british South Park of their era. Then we wake up one day only to find Eric Idle has been replaced by a pod.

Relax, this is another Monty Python routine.

Eric Idle has been detached from critical dialogue for a long time, and he won back no ground with this assertion.

Let Eric get back to us after he's fought the Vicious Chicken of Bristol.

Brave, Brave, Brave, Brave Sir Robin!

The Trial of Galileo Galilei came as a result of his publishing, in 1632, “Dialogues on the Two Chief Systems of the World.” Immediately, he was called to Rome to appear before the Inquisition. He was tried, found guilty, forced to renounce his beliefs in Copernican theory (heliocentric planet system) and the motion of the earth. He was sentenced to life in prison but that was changed to a life under house arrest.

Galilei’s experience is an example of the clash between science and religion. The Man Made Global Warmers are the religion and the science is with those who can’t fit man’s minute contribution to CO2 for the changes in the climate.

People who don’t learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.

Just guessing that Eric is heavily invested in companies that need people to buy the “global warming” scam in order to survive. A lot of people have sunk millions and billions into this bogus crusade. If the rubes aren’t convinced it’s real, there’s gonna be hell to pay.

Sure - you put me on trial.

I have full faith and confidence the liberals running that court will find me guilty.

But I’m used to insults like this in 2017....

Isn’t Eric the old, blond Nancy Boy that was on MP?

What a remarkably advanced society. Here in Sierra Leone, they find the nearest wall and piss against it, or a bush just off the side to poop around.

This place can be quite nasty sometimes.

Geuss what Eric ? Some of us never found Monty Python to be funny. Not even one bit. Perhaps you would like to put us on trial for that ? Better yet, how about putting us into a pit of those man eating rabbits. Yeah, now that might be funny, actually.

Sorry, that’s not Eric Idle. That’s Terry Jones. The woman with the carrot nose is John Cleese’s ex-wife, Connie Booth.

And don’t forget, Graham Chapman was gay and out of the closet during the Pythons’ heyday.

Okay. Call off the competition. Eric Idle wins the Twit Olympics. Give him the gold medal.
