EDITOR, The Tribune.

I have been following the growing internal conflict within the FNM party since the initial airing of their grievances in the press.

And the more I read the more it reminds me of the comical scene in the Monty Python movie in 1979  called the “Life of Brian”.

The scene I am referring to is where two groups opposing Roman occupation of Judea, one called the Judean People’s Front and the other,  the People’s Front of Judea, are both invading the Roman Emperor’s Palace from the basement tunnel and they unknowingly encounter each other. They start a heated argument as to who is the legitimate group to fight for Judea and expel the Romans. They draw their swords and begin fighting each other, eventually killing each other while the Roman soldiers guarding the basement of the Palace look on in perplexity and amusement.

I think there is an analogy that can be drawn to the current situation in the FNM party and the Monty Python movie. What do you think?
