Eric Idle had the perfect comeback for the guy warning him off ‘Hollytics’
If you wake up each morning, ask yourself “What would Marjorie Taylor Greene do?” and then do the opposite, you can’t be going far wrong.
Like this, for example. Don’t do this.

It’s a huge ask, but you never know.

A bit of courage probably wouldn’t go amiss for Captain Bonespurs.

There were many ways the exchange could have gone next, but we think this nailed it.

The ‘No offence but’ opener …
Of course, we weren’t the only ones who appreciated it.

…and it’s Eric Idle with the definitive answer in response to the troll. Do you think he and Jeremy Clarkson would get on?

No.
