happy Cameron taunts Labour leader with "Monty Python" jibe

London, Jul 13 (Reuters) A demob-happy David Cameron used his last appearance in parliament as Prime Minister to taunt embattled Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, likening him to the hapless Black Knight comedy figure in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" who was unable to see when he was beaten.
To laughs and roars of approval from government benches, a beaming Cameron launched one last jibe at the leader of the opposition during a raucous valedictory session of the weekly Prime Minister's Questions session. In the film, the stubborn knight suffers one major wound after another as he fights King Arthur to stop him crossing a small stream, until both his arms have been chopped off.
"It's just a flesh wound," insists the knight, as Arthur goes on to chop off his legs as well. "Alright, we'll call it a draw," the limbless knight finally concedes.Corbyn has been doggedly refusing to step down in the face of mounting criticism since last month's referendum decision to leave the European Union.
