Wait till you find out about the Gurkhas
Or all the commonwealth troops fighting on our side who died in both world wars
Or that WW2 was fought *against* ethno-nationalist fascists
Nadia Sawalha: “Why we are in the mess that we’re in is because antisemitism is thrown at people and they’re expected to not say anything further. Well let’s just have the debate then. I’m not antisemitic, I’m anti this vile Israeli government. The Palestinians live under apartheid. Every single part of their lives is controlled. They’re surveilled. We have how many thousands upon thousands of Palestinian hostages in prisons, in torture camps”
ed sheeran really nuked his own tour, lost every supporting act, lost his own backing band and lost his cookie cutter corporate good guy reputation, all to make robert kraft happy by dropping macklemore from his tour.
what a spineless coward

Why is anyone surprised about Ed Sheeran? Gen Z music is all about either cosplaying music that's decades old or supermarket music with lyrics.
The fact a generation thinks it's some sort of genius rather than the unimaginative, toe the line corporate dirge that it is, tells you everything you need to know.
In the 70's and 80's there was Rock against racism, bands refused to play in anti apartheid South Africa Sun City, etc etc. Real bands made up of men and women who's music inherently had a message beyond " I love you, you're great, innit". The reason why Sheeran can have his huge success today is because the contract between artist and promoter/label is "be as bland as you can be, cause no trouble, you'll be rich ". Same in almost every media industry now.
So why would a bland, smiley moron with bland supermarket music for the musically semi literate have an opinion on anything? Seriously?
The music industry couldn't make money with bands who refused to toe the line 40 years ago, they were too unpredictable, too many songs banned on radio, too close to the truth, so they gave out deals based on compliance, mass market averageness and understanding of the rules, "say nothing, just play your fucking guitar".
That so many are looking at an industry talking head for some sort of political guidance is about as tragic as it fucking gets.
Vote! Join a party! March! Protest!
Ed Sheeran nor any other musician that's raking it in isn't coming to give you a voice.
You're a fucking racist bigot moron.
Zohran was born in Uganda on 10/18/1991. The NYC 9/11/2001 attacks took place when he was 9 years old. The attackers were from Saudi Arabia (15), UAE (2),Egypt (1), Lebanon (1). Please explain what a 9 year old from east Africa that has become a United States citizen has to do with 9/11.
Scientists at the University of California, Irvine have won an igNobel Prize for discovering that rich people drive more selfishly, are more likely to lie at work and more likely to steal sweets meant for children.
My Lord.
@JoeBiden, 83 years old, battling Stage 4 cancer that has spread to his bones, stood for HOURS alongside @DrBiden as the names of 9/11 victims were read.
Donald Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 event at the Pentagon.
One showed respect despite his pain. The other couldn't even stay awake.
Trump is an embarrassment to the nation and the office he holds.
Really says it all.
Make no mistake, 'Steve' here is a cunt, a racist cunt, a bigoted cunt, a xenophobic cunt, a twatknacking weapons grade cunt.
He soils our flag and shames our country. 'Steve' is a massive cunt.
Are we fucking clear?
