this is not very good

Mr Howarth has decided to post a review of the new film Four Lions.  I have not seen the film yet, and it may not appear in our local cinemas in Strasbourg.  I note too that families of victims of the 7/7 murders in London have called for a boycott of the film.  I will never forget that day, as I was there, but will not be supporting a boycott.  Anyway, I will see the film when I can.  But read Mr Howarth's review for yourself.  I did not know whether to be angry, puzzled or contemptuous.  Throughout it Mr Howarth makes the assumption that the entire audience will always be white and non-Muslim.  He even refers to the protagonists as THEY (his capitals).  Most peculiar.  Mr Howarth has lived in Reading for quite a long time, and may even have gone to the cinema there on occasion, I have no idea.  My own quite regular visits to cinemas in Reading revealed that the management of those establishments is quite happy to allow people of the non-white persuasion through their doors.  I never saw a cinema poster that said "Whites only".  Is that what Mr Howarth would like to see?
