Tomi Thomas – Hopeless Romantic EP – Review

Tomi Thomas: Hopeless Romantic EP Review by Mr Topple for Pauzeradio.com.

Sufferers Roots Reggae Press Release

Sufferer’s Roots Reggae – Press Release

Sufferer’s Roots Reggae Press Release by Mr Topple / Pauzeradio PR Services. You cannot avoid the current situation in Palestine and the occupied territories. While the corporate media and the system’s proponents often paint the situation as ‘complex’ or having ‘two sides’ – it really isn’t that complicated. The Israeli government and its occupying forces are enacting apartheid policies against Palestinians. And they have also committed human rights abuses and war crime. Yet still much of the world looks on or turn their backs on the plight of these people. But amid turmoil and horror often comes resilience and reflection.
