I watched the Chris Morris film '4 Lions' last week and again this weekend. It's absolutely hilarious. Has anyone else seen it? Would be interested to see if anyone was actually offended by it given the subject of the film ( Jihad Islamic terrorists).


If you haven't seen it you need to..haven't laughed at a film like that in years!

Yes and I enjoyed it.


Brave of Morris to do it in terms of topic. Most of our current comics stick to 'safer' religions rightly or wrongly.


Film did not condone the subject matter but put it into 'human' context.


Not a deep film by any means but both extremely funny and reasonably thought provoking.


I regularly use the innovative avoidence tactic for face recognition CCTV when out and about in London......

Agreed, more gentle in approach but not in subject. I think that it worked better as a feature length film because of this.


I am a big fan of Morris and enjoy all of the radio and television stuff but the format for these is shorter so maybe needs/is best with the more full on approach. Having said that Nathan Barley is the only thing that I have not got into as yet. Don't know why, but it doesn't grab me. Only seen a couple of episodes so maybe need to revisit.


CM has without a doubt the twisted brain-wrong of a one-off man mental.

    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
