It's Boxing Day, the pubs are closed and the TV is terrible, so I found myself watching Dunkirk.

Yes, the acting is pretty decent and yes, the cinematography is dramatic, but I couldn't help but find myself being angered by this patriotic borefest.

In a few days Brexit will happen and last week, our government was threatening to put warships in the channel to guard our fishing boats. How did we end up being so at odds with our neighbours again?

How? Because of the sort of jingoistic nonsense in films like Dunkirk.

Scroll forwards to 2020 and more people work in Tescos than are employed by the British Army.

Time to move on...
