So what's your solution then? In my experience hate only breeds hate. How do you facilitate change without understanding why someone has the views that they have? This is why we live in a divided country at the moment. "I'm right. You're wrong. I'm clever. You're dumb. I'm good. You're bad." doesn't do anything to move us forward.

I'm not really interested in acting as a Vanessa Feltz for confused racists tbh.
It's a cycling forum. Not publicly funded, not a journalism platform.
You have chosen to insert yourself into this thread as an arbiter because you have some kind of personal allegiance to him, I suggest you take the task of spelling out the shortcomings of his political views instead of placing that duty on us as some kind of proxy.
If I stopped to try and minister to every nasty blinkered cunt in the street in this country I doubt I would get much done with my day and precious little thanks for it. You pal clearly values his time more than engaging with anyone here in any sincere way so again, don't put your social burdens on us when it's you that's chosen to take it on in the first place.

Eh why does constructive dialogue have to happen here again?
Do we owe him some kind of opportunity to represent himself any further than he already has via his social media accounts? Are we beholden to afford him the benefit of doubt that he clearly has no interest or intention in giving others?
Maybe you should stop digging and let him own his own words and actions. He's a big boy, and from his posts about 'socialism' clearly into the concept of personal responsibility in all things
