Facts from the source article.
Background
Its leader Reg sends Brian to paint slogans on Pontius Pilate's palace overnight, and gives the speech asking what the Romans have ever done for them, only for his listeners to list sanitation, medicine, education, roads, public order and more. Inside Pilate's palace the PFJ runs into a rival group, the Campaign for a Free Galilee, and the row over who thought of the plan first ends with Brian captured. Later the PFJ tries to use Brian's fame as a supposed Messiah, and at the end praises his martyrdom and leaves him on the cross.
