Love them all, Idle was always my favourite, met Michael Palin (albeit briefly) at a book launch in Ely cathedral of all places.. What a lovely man , left a lasting impression on me .Much as I like them all, of the Pythons, to me it’s Palin hands down —not as sure about the others who all had their “I’m a superstar” snits at times except Chapman who had personal demons.

Plus, the James Bond books. Perhaps his greatest achievement. "Yesh, Mish Moneypenny"Alexander Fleming the discoverer of Penicilin and pioneer of antibiotics saved millions of lives without the need for wanking over Gail Platt.

Love the way you referred to Malcolm X as just "X".Reminded me of Harry Enfield's Frank Doberman character.All people are flawed so I acknowledge your points.
I know MLK was an adulterer and had issues in his private life, I just prefer the man to be honest and think his ways were smarter than X’s.
MLK was the main figure in getting rid of the awful Jim Crow laws, if X was more successful out of the two, it would likely have created division.
I personally understand why Malcolm X thought what he did, I remember feeling aggrieved at racism in the 1960s and beyond, especially watching America, but MLK strikes accord with me as we have a mixed race family background.
"Well,I admire X,he's a laverly geezer,but if he came round my gaf......" etc.

The Paralympic founder Sir Ludwig Guttman who started the movement in 1948 by getting British WW2 veterans with Spinal injuries involved in Sport. In 1952 veterans from the Netherlands joined. Look at how that has developed into the Paralympics we have today.
