    Trance style drumming, not quite my cuppa, but proceeds go to Wrexham food bank and the song titles are great:

    1. The greatest trick the Tories ever pulled was convincing working class British voters, who feel left behind, to blame the EU & immigrants for their troubles while also convincing them to continue voting for the very party actually responsible.

    2. How could it not make you angry, and I mean deep down gut-clenched angry, to know this Government has spent the last 8 years easing taxes on the rich & turning a blind eye to the billions the country loses every year to tax havens & then fining the homeless for having nothing?

    3. With every fibre of my being, I hate what is happening to my country. Liars, self interested disaster capitalists and charlatans have hijacked political discourse. We are headed to armageddon but none of those advocating for this will be hurt and they do not care for anyone else.

    4. The revolting hypocrisy of Tory MPs & ministers posing for food banks. Their austerity policies, ‘welfare reform’, delayed payments & sanctions have engendered hunger & destitution. From 42,000 food bank users to 1.2m in 8 years. Pyromaniacs taking selfies at their own fires.

    Makes for a good soundtrack to the 'l'acte 18 des gilets jaunes' footage posted yonder.
