Não sei se o Greyson Nekrutman já descolou o CPF, mas com certeza ja merece um feat tocando junto com a Spok Frevo Orquestra no Carnaval de Pernambuco.

Imagina ele mandando ver na bateria dessa forma em pleno Marco Zero??!

Seria foda.

They want to take away our BBC.

They want to take away our NHS.

They want to take away our human rights.

They want to take away everything we have that makes life worth living.

All for their own greedy enrichment.
