I'd already turned my back on Ed in 2023 due to his lack of stance, same as his great friend Taylor. After last week, I rechecked all my streaming blocks against him were still in place. He cannot claim to be apolotocal any longer. Nor ignorant. You dont get such a stage to be silent or peddle complicity without repercussions. As always, Macklemore remains on my playlists, loudly.
Totally agree with you. He's not reading the room. There's no 'no politics', no neutral, no middle ground, when it comes to Genocide. You call it out. Or you're condoning it. It's that simple, Mr Sheeran
Yes. He got it wrong. He admits it. No, he wasn't vague - he said it out loud although you didn't put that in your version. I think he's not on the dark side of this issue. He's not the enemy. Why do non-rightists always get it wrong? We need to try to help more people to feel strong enough to challenge the evils in this world not beast them.

Brilliant piece, Owen. Sadly, Ed’s friends certainly found out who he is.
I wonder how long the PR agents spent writing that non apology?

Absolutely agree with your excellent analysis and take on Sheeran's heinous and outrageous behavior, Owen.
Yes. He got it wrong. He admits it. No, he wasn't vague - he said it out loud although you didn't put that in your version. I think he's not on the dark side of this issue. He's not the enemy.

Thank you for this excellent, eloquent piece.
