    The video was shot at Dilston Grove, one of CGP London's 2 galleries in the heart of Southwark Park in south London. CGP is an artist-led gallery founded in 1984 by The Bermondsey Artists' Group.
    They commission major artworks by artists at all stages of their career. It's a vital part of London's art scene offering space and support that no-one else can across two stunning galleries.
    Its an amazing cavernous raw space that hosts a lot of performance, music and live art. They rent it out in between shows to get the crucial funding they need to keep supporting artists. There's nowhere quite like it!
    Dilston is one of the first poured concrete structures in the UK, built in 1909 by Cambridge University. It had been derelict since the 60s until the gallery took it on. There'd been a mission church on that site since 1896 after Bishop of Rochester, Edward Stuart TALBOT decided Cambridge should have a post in South London to support the poor.

      I appreciate it 🧡 and theres a reason why - for some reason it's taboo for men to cry or show emotions. Misogyny has not just destroyed women, it's destroyed its own kind. I'm hopefully gonna get involved with some male therapy groups soon, like help them get set up. We need to break the stigma. Also there's good father's losing custody of their children. For the same stigma that men are all dominant and brutish and they HAVE to be. God forbid a man shows his natural human vulnerability. So don't blame yourself

      This is shortened version of a quote from Margaret Atwood's lecture, she is most well known for writing "The Handmaid's Tale". In her original lecture, she said "Why do men feel threatened by women?' I asked a male friend of mine... 'men are bigger, most of the time, they can run faster, strangle better, and they have on the average a lot more money and power.' 'They are afraid women will laugh at them,' he said... I asked some women students in a quickie poetry seminar I was giving, 'Why do women feel threatened by men?' 'They're afraid of being killed."

    We were told not to cry because the parents didn't want to deal with our emotions because they can deal.woth their own.
    You were told to shut up when you had feelings. Told you we're still a child if you cried. And children have no agency or existence in that environment. So you shut up and hide those feelings in the hopes of being an adult with more agency.
    And that repressed emotion turns to resentment towards the ones hiding the feelings. Your parents and yourself.
    Don't listen to your unloved parents and love yourself. Your feelings matter. Kids matter just as much as adults. When you talk to their parents in a group setting don't ignore the kid on their arm. They are a human just the same respect then just the same.

    My mum is my world. She battled an illness that put her in a coma, that left her having to relearn how to walk, eat, even go to the toilet. After all this, she got up and went back to work as a children's nurse in the NHS. She taught me hard work, how to teach myself when school failed me, and most importantly, to never trust a Tory.
    Love you mum x

    This is I my daughters account. My husband showed me this video. I loved the anger and was confused about the royal doulton execution because now that I'm 48 I collect it. I am a mother who works 15 hours 5 days a week. I was worried what he would do with the poster of his mum at the end. I am glad he kissed it. I am strangely attracted to this song.

    I feel awake for the first time in years.
    This is a snarling assault on conventional western society. Everything about it is so good--the explosion of grief paired with a ferocious rhythm, the sardonic and biting social commentary, the concise and pointed lyrics and imagery they elicit, the visceral bass-driven musicality of the damn thing, all illustrated in a metaphor packed video that itself is a work of art. It is good stacked upon good, piled on top of good, over a mound of good.
    It shocks and inspires and incites.

    Sometimes breaking stuff is the ultimate therapy. When my best friend’s sister was taken from us, and police refused to investigate thoroughly (it’s been four years now and still no answers), we broke glass objects until 3am as hard as possible.

      Samuel Antics The line "I know nothing, I'm just sitting here looking at pretty colors" refers to someone who didn't follow the advice, and is trapped in an endless stream of shallow entertainment instead of working on improving their life. To become a wildly successful artist is hardly the only way to get out of poverty, that's just ridiculous.
