The State

Channel 4 now.

Disturbing and depressing. I'm wondering just how honest it's going to be.

The State.

Award-winner Peter Kosminsky's compelling new drama, based on extensive research, follows the experiences of four British men and women who leave everything behind to join Isis in Syria

So far, so bad. Seems to be a kind of 'the only way is Essex' characterisation with an all goodlooking cast and everyone being intelligent and softly spoken.

Well, they've chopped someone's hand off, and cut his head off. There's a lot of angst and fluttering eyelids from the women whose disillusionment is now becoming apparent...as though they had absolutely no idea of IS and it's ethos. Rolling Eyes

They'll be wanting to come back, we didn't mean it. I hope they are never allowed back. There as much terrorists as IS are.

Why did they cut his hand off and then his head immediately? makes no sense.

Fuck knows. But I'm losing patience with it. These wannabe jihadists are being portrayed as the victims here, as though they genuinely thought ISIS offered some idyll when all of them know damn well what this crackpot regime do and believe in. They run away and join because they're loser fantasists with no grasp of reality. Bit like those nutters who pretend they're in the SAS to try and impress women.

Wasn't it stupid? Were we supposed to feel sorry for that daft bitch who took her son over there. He ended up playing football with someone's head. She had the gall to compare the UK official to an ISIS fighter because they took her son away from her? I shouldn't have watched it really.

I'm glad I didn't. Knew it would be all sympathetic to the IS women.

Could Britain end up like this?
