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.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
