*WARNING FLASHING LIGHTS AND STROBE EFFECT* *SMALL BRAINS, GIANT THOUGHTS* Video Footage - Sunderland, Wearside, UK by Graeme Philliskirk Video Credit - Michael Feerick It's been a year now since we had riots within Sunderland, so we wanted to release this video. A lot has happened since then and much of it not for the good of ordinary people at all. This isn't just here in the UK but for many around the world we are witnessing horrific scenes, and so called Governments of Power ripping us all to pieces. The words "Never again" seem a shallow part of history almost a surreal nightmare as we watch the genocide that is taking place in Gaza. We all have a voice, we can all do something even small to make a stand and if you haven't already you need to before it's YOU! "Like doubling over around a punch to the gut that you well and truly deserve. Accepting the punishment with humility and gratitude. Being violently thrust through a morass of despair whilst desperately clutching tight onto golden slivers of hope that might just tear your hands to ribbons whilst providing a firmly anchored lifeline. That’s how this feels."
