It’s not an objective assessment if you don’t have evidence other than accusations. His political stance isn’t racist

Calling a shovel a shovel isn't a political stance. It's an objective assessment.

That highlights your misunderstanding - no centrist is bang in the middle, and I'm certainly left of centre on some issues and right of centre on others. I'm left of you though, so in your view I can't possibly be a centrist.

As much as stating (as a centrist) that Farage is a racist and a racist....

Watched it yesterday. It was OK but not sure it deserves the hype. Not having the benefit of a classical education, I managed to follow it just fine so you don't really need any prior knowledge. The casting was generally good too and the dialogue clarity wasn't bad. Certainly not as bad as other Nolan films anyway although I suspect without the benefit of iMax then it might not be as clear. At nearly 3 hours long it did feel long. Stuff was happening all the time but still felt it would have benefitted from being half hour shorter. Main thing though is that while it should have been exciting, I didn't really engage with the story or characters. The characters aren't that likeable and difficult to root for. Robert Pattinson did a decent job and they should have done more with his character, Anne Hathaway has one moment of spark and passion as well but other than that the characters all felt a bit earnest and a bit dull. The other thing is that it doesn't really take advantage of iMax and the big screen in general. Everything looks washed out and drab and it's not a spectacular film in that regard. I might have had the wrong idea going into the film - I was hoping for more of an entertaining Gladiator type film and this is a more cerebral film where I presume we're supposed to meditate on themes of guilt, responsibility and destiny. Anyway, didn't hate it, didn't love it, probably won't remember much about it.

When has farage been found guilty of racism, facism or corruption? Bearing in mind he has had a lot more scrutiny than Burnham over the years because he was heavily scrutinised by the media as the front man of Brexit. Brexit was a political decision not an illegal action.

Anyone know where you can sign up for this Argie ban petition, I would personally hate to miss out.

What's that got to do with Burnham and making preconceptions about his political stance?

A missile with "1922 Committee" stencilled on it.

The point I’m making is taking the view that you are a centrist means that you are declaring your views are balanced. Some people are centrists but @egg regularly falls on one side of a debate as I do. I don’t pretend I’m anything but a conservative

What the hell is a "factional weapon"? We're not talking about parties, we're talking about Farage v Burnham. So I'll repeat: Racism, fascism, corruption, Brexit etc are all far worse, surely?

Where exactly on the political spectrum do this "majority" exist ?

I presume you'd also call me left, but I'm a centrist. I think you're misunderstanding what counts as centrist and left nowadays.

and yet, Burnham is the leader of a party that used racism, islamophobia, antisemitism as "factional weapons" in the last few years, whilst being responsible for harassment and discrimination.

Shame on you

You’re not a centrist though. You say that to make your view appear balanced and what the majority believe which is a common tactic nowadays . I’m happy to admit I’m conservative but don’t pretend otherwise.

I think Farage has shown far more worrying characteristics. Racism, fascism, corruption, Brexit etc are all far worse, surely?

Nice deletion mate...you mentioned "your side of the political spectrum". That says it all - anyone to your left, even a centrist who's ever voted labour like me, is a lefty on your view. We're not the US with a simple left/right division, but we seemingly are to people with your simple political outlook. I was going to retract my earlier comment re your simple views, but you've justified it yourself.

I think you misunderstand what is said to wind people up and what people actual believe.

Like what policies?

No, they don't as they only have 2 friendlies left. There is one behind closed doors friendly this week and then the final friendly vs SC Preußen Münster next weekend.

We still have 4/5 friendlies to see if he’s up to standards. I’m going to leave the decision with the experts who watch him in training everyday.

I'm right on this petal.
