Levelz, the Manchester-based music and art collective pushing experimental productions, has launched a viral campaign titled #BUNTHESUN, in protest against the national tabloid newspaper.

A video published on the Levelz Facebook page sees hundreds of copies burnt to flames, with references to controversial The Sun headlines, Rupert Murdoch, and Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham made throughout the two-minute clip.

According to Twitter, their campaign ethos is to get the publication out of the city, and "off the shelves of every UK newsagent”.

Take a look at the video here.
