Monty Python star John Cleese has confirmed that a controversial scene from the Life of Brian film, which mocks trans women, will remain in a new stage adaptation.
Cleese rose to prominence in the 1970s as part of the renowned Python sketch team, starring in hit spin-off films The Holy Grail (1975) and Life of Brian (1979), and the British sitcom Fawlty Towers, before appearing in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
In recent years, Cleese has waded into the trans rights debate by defending author JK Rowling’s heavily criticised comments, and railing against “cancel culture”.

Read MoreThe target on its back just keeps getting larger.
After facing threats of a boycott, US retail giant Target pulled some LGBTQ Pride products off its shelves at the front of stores located in the US south, moving them to smaller areas in the back.
At the heart of the issue were LGBTQ onesies for babies, ‘tuck friendly’ bathing suits and drag queen books targetted at young kids.
And, late last week, TheBlaze reported Target has had a partnership with the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) an LGBTQ educational organization that has advocated that schools don’t inform parents if their children decide to undergo a gender transition, for more than a decade.
Fox News picked up the story this week, reporting a Target Corporation senior executive, Carlos Saavedra, maintains a position with GLSEN, which is focused on integrating gender ideology at all levels of K-12 schools, from curriculum to district policy.

Read MoreThe Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is happy that the Mission Cultural Fund has been cancelled. This fund, part of Global Affairs, used taxpayers’ money wastefully, such as on a sex toy show in Germany and a photography exhibit for a rock star.
“This is a big win for taxpayers and it’s long overdue,” said Franco Terrazzano, federal director of the CTF.
“Paying for a sex toy show in Germany and flying chefs around the world was a huge waste of taxpayers’ money and Global Affairs should have shut this down years ago.”
The federal government released a statement without much attention stating that the Mission Cultural Fund had “expired on March 31, 2023.”

On Friday, the Daily Mail reported that one of the world’s top suppliers of menstrual and other sanitary products released its annual pamphlet used to help young girls learn about their changing bodies. Except this year, the pamphlet didn’t mention women or girls even once. Instead, they were labeled “people with female sex organs.”

Read MoreEncouraging people suffering from some adversity or the other, self-imposed or not, to move on used to be considered sage advice.
Striving to forge ahead – what in earlier generations was called “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” – was seen as better than wallowing in self-pity.
Not anymore. Those daring to utter the phrase “move on” are more likely than not to be ostracized, boycotted, shunned, or fired for doing so, especially when this advice is aimed at indigenous Canadians.
Two cases in Winnipeg, one from mid-2021, and the other from last week, well illustrate the corrosive wrath of increasing rates of cancel culture in our country.
