Ed Sheeran

Well if they only play classic hits TON then he won't have been heard much on there anyway

The UK government has provided approximately £1.96 billion in bilateral aid to Nigeria from 2015 to 2022, with an additional £72.3 million allocated for the financial year 2023/2024. This aid supports various sectors, including humanitarian assistance, education, and economic development.

The UK government will cut development aid to Nigeria by 50.2 per cent, dropping the allocation to £68 million in 2028-2029 from £136.62 million.

Sheeran concerts dead in the water.
Pub singer from now on

correct Dixie , I wonder if they start each day With the old Call to prayer ?

multi Millionaire Lief , thinks he has made his dosh TBH

Ed Sheeran would make my ears bleed but I'm going to stick my neck out and say that those paying hundreds of pounds to hear his music will still pay hundreds of pounds to hear his music.

Leify sounds like the kind of person that would say JK Rowling is going broke because a bunch of activists on Tik Tok are burning her Harry Potter books.

Does anyone know what Sheerans position on the biggest recent genocide in the world in Sudan is? We need to be told.

Ed says he's neutral. HTH.

Sheran has been cautious on his views publicly about Palestine, which he is entitled to be apart from donating money directly to Palestine charities which is honourable thing, and challenging powerful people to match it.

F  I  L  T  H

£1m probably covers the damage from 1 600lb bomb.

Of course money can never cover the deaths of civilians and children.

What a ridiculous comment.

Ed Sheeran has this week tried to build bridges......They have since been blown up by the IDF

Eds music not my Cup of Tea TBH

Boy George has said he stands firmly behind Ed ..

Not sure Eds a midnight postman like Georgie boy.

Youth Together: In his official statement, Kraft noted: “For decades, I have supported efforts that create opportunity for Palestinians and have brought young Palestinians and Israelis together to build

businesses, create jobs, and forge relationships.” Things were probably moving a long  nicely , Till 7/10

Guy sounds ok to me , What am I missing ?

Just Imagine trying to help the Youth to forget the Hatred and move forward , what's the Problem ?

He has donated Millions to Gaza , its not about Gaza is it ?

No Doubt the lads will be on in the Morning to explain what Am I missing and why kraft and Sheeran should be targeted ,

Guy sounds ok to me , What am I missing ?

Google Kraft + Netanyahu

HTH

I thought 6s yesterday was a good bet yesterday for Sheran to walk, I think it’s evens now because this is global and he’s making right highland hunt of himself, if he doesn’t

If Sheeran cancels then he'd almost certainly have to repay 10s of millions of $$$$$$.

And I can't see him being able to do another American stadium tour.

Hard to sympathize with multi-millionaires who look the other way while children and civilians are being slaughtered.

Somebody asked myself yesterday why I was interested in this issue because I had stated in truth, I had never heard of the rapper, or could name a Sheran song, but I was interested because it was becoming interesting in Irish media.
Now I’m glad I got interested because you are learning more about USA and a very dark side.
Sensible people were always wondering why this lad was in charge, but it’s now deeper madness, evil,than the mad front man.

Modern times. Easier to fight a war on social media than be involved.

Jock McBloggs in Aberdeen can't get involved but he can let Ed Sheeran know his opinion.

Aye, I'm sure Sheeran reads every post.

Pretty much everytime pally is mentioned, I'm reminded of the question:

How did the IDF not know about 7/10 before it happened?

It just seems incomprehensible and impossible that they didn't know about it.

What do the guys on Reddit think?

Is reddit banned in your country?

You must have been devastated when the yuan went down to 9 yuans to the pound.

It's telling that when the question is raised of how on earth the IDF didn't know about 7/10, you pop up almost instantly to deflect from the question.

Do you also think the US knew about, or participated in, 9/11?

I see, and you think Escapee that might be a clue to something?

I've been to Isreal, it's incomprehensible the IDF failed to detect the gathering of multiple groups of terrorists from most of terrorist organisations in the region.

What does it make you suspect? Put on your Candace Owens wine moms detective hat.

saddo Aye, I'm sure Sheeran reads every post.

Like all media businesses Sheeran and his people will receive a daily report from their comms team detailing all social media engagement.

You don't become as big as Sheeran was by not being savvy.

Good to see Escapee has got a new delivery of tinfoil.

I heard there was an alien civilisation involved.

what do you reckon shrewdie?

The best intel agency in the world is so bad at it's job it didn't know 2,000 of the most extremist lunatic terrorists from at least 5 of the most extremist lunatic terrorist groups in the region were gathered together, fully armed and equipped with a mass array of guns and motors.

?

As they say. The terrorists only need to get it right once. The intelligence services need to get it right every time.

The goat interferers got it right that once.

Thousands killed at a Music Venue now people want protest about the response at another music venue

Sheer madness.

SirNorbertClarke 8.31am, bang on, no reply obviously because that cannot be denied.

TON you have put false information that yer man is a philantropist, listen to SNC.

Can’t believe it’s exactly 2 years ago since the Hamas boys were getting there balls blown off by their pagers.

Remember that all the Pali lovers were against it because it would set a precedent that the goat lovers would do similar things and we’d have pagers blowing everyone up?

Never happened obviously but that was the line they ran with at the time to disguise their upset at terrorists being killed.

If someone can find the thread it was brilliant.

think this was the one shrewd ?

Apparently Hezbollah have advised their female operatives to shut down their vibrators for a few months. 



Handful of lefty nutters railing against it, that's all.

Jews being blamed for their own daughters' slaughter on here, as other Jews didn't warn them about it in advance

That is some level of warped depravity needed to be reached to actually believe some of what they write.

Nobody is blaming Jews for anything, our lady was a Jew, the mother of Jesus Christ, what the majority of decent human beings in the world are concerned with is the actions of Israel and it’s constant, it can’t be qualified currently as retaliation.
Anybody who can’t recognise that is a sad evil, cowardly individual, if the cap fits, wear it.

well said MALAY

Their is a whole industry screaming antisemitism at any criticism of Israel's murderous actions. Shills.

I have Jewish background on my mother’s side of family my grandfather would probably be classed as asylum seeker nowadays basically he just bolted from trouble, and made a new life, got himself a job down the pits, hard job poor environment to work in, but never complained, it was an opportunity, he took it.
Pay couldn’t be that bad, because he was in Lisbon 1967 when Celtic won European cup.

Different times, Malay, incomparable to these days. People didn't
turn up expecting to get everything given, and there were not that
many turning up. 42% of people on the Dublin housing waiting list
today are foreigners, there are just too many to absorb.

Saddo I know it’s different times, my grandfather travelled as a necessity and was fortunate to get employment and work hard at that job, loved a punt btw, it’s in the genes.

Do you know if your Grandfather went to a sexual consent class when he arrived?

No idea what you are talking about dude, but in the main, I really think you are a thick bigoted dunce, Good luck today I think Celtic will give you message Aka.

He's not worth engaging with.

Here he is... the Economic Migrant.. he moved from Manchester to Surrey ..

No idea what you are talking about dude, but in the main, I really think you are a thick bigoted dunce

That's a bit rich coming from someone who can't comprehend a fairly basic question. Tough choice for you today watching football or standing outside an Ed Sheeran concert with your flags.

Not really that tough.
I have a pub nearby showing the football
I don’t know we’re Sheran concert is and I don’t own a Palestine flag
So decision is pretty straightforward

Ed sheran

"What is happening in Gaza is catastrophic and unjustifiable and disproportionate. My heart has been broken by the scale of devastation and loss of civilians' lives, children's lives."

Ed needs to come out and condemn the 7th October killings of 1,200 innocent Israelis.

Then he needs to use the G word for the bombardment and starvation of Gaza
.

Anything else is a cop out.

Ed needs to come out and condemn the 7th October killings of 1,200 innocent Israelis.


He has.

That's good.

What happened in Israel and at the Nova music festival on October 7 was horrific and compounded centuries of Jewish pain.

Ed sheran

.............................

Why, would you expect Tom Bradby to sing a song or two on News at Ten?

No. News readers should keep their opinions to themselves.

FYI saddo the prime target on 7th of October was a  festival. Ed Sheeran plays music festivals. That is why it is appropriate for him to speak out

HTH

SirNorbertClarke 20 Sep 26 14:47 
No. News readers should keep their opinions to themselves.

...........................

So why should people who play good, bad or indifferent music give an opinion on politics?

Shame that Sheeran allowed himself to be bullied by the lefty pile on.

He should have just stuck to the line that he's a musician who wants to keep his views on such matters to himself.

All of the right wing idiots backing him
forced him to clarify his position.

The award for the most ridiculous post of the day has been claimed at 15.12 ladies and gents

If the sheeplike left wing idiots were not demanding that he share their groupthink, there wouldn't be an issue.

Fair play to Ed, a little late but that Gaza is 'catastrophic and unjustifiable' and that there is 'systematic injustice' in the West Bank while also acknowledging horrific 7th Oct.
It is what most people think except those backing the far right of Israels government.

Lol, idiot dixie couldnt recognise the truth from deep in his echo chamber.

When right wing idiots are bigging up sheran
by misconstruing his position he would always have to clarify his position.

I think it is terrific Tommy Robinson is backing Ed Sheeran.

How simple you are Donny.

It was the lefty pile on trying to cancel Sheeran that forced his hand (or his management's more likely).

And try and spell his name write ffs you dunce.

Lapsy, why on earth should Sheeran have had to say anything ? He's a ruddy singer ffs not a political activist.

He has the perfect right to keep his own counsel, but of course that's not acceptable for the lefty bullies and demented idiots like Roger Waters is it ?

*spell his name right ffs 16.18

You've got me at it now you Durham Dunce

You have to feel a little sorry for anyone who can't feel anything for the deaths of so many tens of thousands of innocent people.

Just thank God you aren't that far on the spectrum.

He just clarified his position Dixie, he had to really as he was in danger of being misunderstood.
I tend to agree also he has the right to be apolitical but events snowballed with Macklemore who also has the right of free speech which was 'taken'.
When Tommy is backing you there is something radically wrong, his f*** Palestine is well documented,how can Ed be a part of that? He couldn't.

Of course all of this could have been one big publicity stunt.

I don't suppose it has done much harm to Mic No More's career given that most people would have never heard of him beforehand

Mackelmores free speech wasnt taken at all. Once he was off stage he is free to say what he wants. Most people would get in trouble if they say anything too political when they are working.

In the sense he couldn't repeat it as he was stopped from performing at concerts i think it was taken.
It isn't 'politics', it is voicing against crimes to humanity,ethnic cleansing or even possible genocide, certainly not just 'politics' it is barbarism.

Of course it's politics, otherwise you and all the rest would be banging
on about Muslim atrocities going on right now in Africa, you don't.

Gaza is not politics,or the West Bank for that matter, it is a shame on the human race.

Maybe he should do what he was being paid to do. Too many singers actors and sportsmen seem to think the public want to hear about their opinions on just about everything. People came to see this guy sing thats all.

So are things happening in Africa, your response is silence.

You are singing from the same hymnbook, belittle it and calling it 'politics'? get a soul for yourselves.

Absolutely Dotch.  If i'm shelling out 2 to 3 hundred dollars for a ticket i don't want to hear a political rant thanks all the same Mr Rapper.

Saddo - that's it in a nutshell, loads of atrocities taking place elsewhere in the world that these guys are silent on, it's only Israel they seem bothered about.
I wonder if Lapsy can explain why ?

Yes saddo. I cant think of a reason why some people continually go on about Palestine but never ever even mention places like Sudan.

How boring,the antisemetic card.

The hate of Muslim is strong

So no explanation then Lapsy ?

Telling.

You wrap your dislike of Jews up in a blanket of concern for Palestinians, so disingenuous, fooling nobody.

Right wing idiots making threads like this praising sheran for his politics now back peddling saying he shouldn't be involved in politics.

Lol

lapsy. What is the reason that we have celebrities continually talking about Palestine but never mention genocide in the Sudan or indeed many other humanitarian crisis's around the world and why do places like betfair have threads about Palestine but not anywhere else. Its a perfectly fair question.

Stop telling porkies Donny, nobody was praising Sheeran for his politics, au contraire it was for his LACK of publicly broadcast views.

HTH and stop being a weasel.

Lol,

It is Dotchinite, i am only vaguely aware of them,not much coverage on mainstream media.

Would i be correct in guessing they are Muslims involved in these? If i am correct are these the reasons they are being pointed out and are trying to give some 'justification' in that they commit atrocities too and therefore a moral nulling of Palestine?

I think you make a good point about the lack of coverage in the mainstream media and again you wonder on the motives that make them consistently report on Palestine and virtually never on whats the worlds largest recent genocide.

I dont think any normal people would link the two. Genocide is genocide wherever it is and people should be against it wherever it occurs.

genocide is exactly what hamas who started this and iran want. theyve said it many times. never seen anyone condemn them for this

jews have been eradicated from the region by radical islam. christians have gone the same way and few remain. from 25% to less than 3. thats quite a drop. those that remain face daily torment. never a mention on any media. yet we absorb millions of refugees from islamic lands, supposedly fleeing persecution. from who?

the fact is islam hates others. its evident worldwide but all you hear is 'israel'. china has been eradicating its moslem population by slave labour camps and forced sterilisation

no protest. its only israel and the useful idiots dont know what they are doing. free palestine is a big oxymoron. its a mini-iran

its driven by leftist agitators aligned with islamo-fascists who will do us all in eventually

This is the epitome of right wokeness


Hey everyone, lets discuss the "feelings" of some imaginary people we don't like.

A few of the lefties might be disappointed.

changhe the record

you come out with this all the time when you cant think of what else to say

when mocking or celebrating the death of anyone even perceived as 'right wing' was called into question, rightly, all you come up with is 'hurrty-feely' 'wokey rightists'

anything awakward is laughed off. like the truth about socialists being full of hate. you wont deny it
