"SENTENCED TO LIFE OF ALIENATION, THE FIRING SQUAD WOULD BE A FUCKING VACATION!"

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Swedish hardcore punk/råpunk band ANTI CIMEX, performing live at the infamous Mermaid pub in Sparkhill, Birmingham, UK (the equally infamous wallpaper gives it away), on July 5, 1986. 📸: Jenny Plaits.

"You better look twice before you look my way, We all know I'm guilty there's nothing more to say! Guilty of not doing what you do, Sentenced to life of alienation, The firing squad would be a fucking vacation! Guilty of not being just like you."

-- "Criminal Trap" (1986) by ANTI CIMEX

COMMUNITY AID

Trans youth charity in the UK, Mermaids really needs your help to avoid having to close down.

the above link is for their tiktok page where they posted the donation link but it can be found at their other socials

Share this around punks because it's only really charities like this and activist cells looking out for trans youth in the UK who are being used as pawns by not just the last government, but this one as well. Copying in @our-trans-youth-experience, I hope you'll put the word out

KEEP LOVING KEEP FIGHTING

At least they're admitting it's a form of medically assisted self-harm.
