Nigel Farage is trying to make Dunkirk a Brexit thing
I don't know what you took from Dunkirk - for me it was the sumptuous shot composition and staggering practical effects - but for Nigel Farage it was a patriotic, saluting-waving-flag thing.
"I urge every youngster to go out and watch #Dunkirk" he wrote on Twitter last night after coming out of a showing.
A photo accompanied, seeing Farage stood in front of a poster for the Christopher Nolan war movie looking stony-faced.
His supporters, of course, managed to find a Brexit angle, the top reply saying: "And if everyone watched this film, they'd probably understand why the majority of Britain voted 4 a FULL Brexit. No betrayal of our fallen!"
We've reached out to Christopher Nolan's people for comment on this endorsement.
