'I thought we had an autonomist collective.'
John Cleese has mocked Fox News after the channel mistakenly ran a quote fromThe awkward error occurred on a news bulletin on Friday 12 June, when Martha McCallum reported on Seattle Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone , whereThe Story host MacCallum suggested that there was infighting among the protesters and against hip-hop artist Raz Simone, apparently a leader of one of the groups.
The report pointed to a ‘now-deleted’ Reddit post titled ‘I didn’t vote for Raz’, with MacCallum using the post as evidence as a ‘sign of rebellion’.She read: ‘I didn’t vote for Raz. I thought we had an autonomist collective. An anarcho-syndicalist commune at the least, we should take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.’
Unfortunately, MacCallum and Fox did not realise this is a direct quote from Michael Palin in the 1975 comedy classic Monty Python and The Holy Grail, as his character spoke to King Arthur .
