Paid Members BigJag Posted September 16 Paid Members Posted September 16 Sheeran has definitely made his own bed. However the full vitriol needs to be directed at Kraft and his fellow cunts. Something has changed in the momentum recently. Ed Milliband is ruffling Israeli feathers. What has caused the increase in highlighting what has been happening for three years? Its a good thing. But why now? Quote

What has caused the increase in highlighting what has been happening for three years? Its a good thing. But why now? Our press has (understandably) pretty much focused on the UK's actions but this has been a coordinated embargo enacted by 12 other countries too (Ireland, Holland, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, and Sweden). If you read or saw Mark Carney's speech at Davos in January the wheels were set in motion then. Establishing alternative trade routes & getting agreement on wording etc from a dozen countries takes time so whilst it's been recently announced, the reality is that it's been cooking in the background for most of the year.

However the full vitriol needs to be directed at Kraft and his fellow cunts. I've got enough vitriol in me for both, thanks. Ed Sheeran's statement about this is possibly the most spineless cowardly centrist bullshit I've seen since this conflict started. Just absolute white noise. Bad prick. Quote
DavidB6937 Posted September 16 Posted September 16 It's actually quite impressive that I managed to read what he said and thought he would've done better if he stayed quiet. Quote
deathrey Posted September 16 Posted September 16 (edited) He absolutely would have been better off saying nothing, that statement was awful. Using the Shaggy defence in 2026 as a grown adult is ridiculous. His support acts and band dropping out in solidarity makes him look even more like a shit head. Specifically using the words 'I'm not complicit' make him sound like a baby throwing his toys out of the pram. In genocide, neutrality is complicit. And all the shit about a-political - no your not, you've done Ukraine fundraisers, vocally supported Jeremy Corbyn, campaigned for changes in Music education in schools, campaigned for LGBTQ causes. All political. Edited September 16 by deathrey Quote

Thanks. I was aware of the coordination. However you've explained it quite well there. Thanks again. Quote
Paid Members Wretch Posted September 16 Paid Members Posted September 16 (edited) This feels somewhat insensitive given the nature of the posts above me regarding shithouse Sheeran, but I’m absolutely over the moon right now. I’m home for a few days and last night I caught up with an old school friend who I haven’t seen for twenty-two years. I was dreading it a bit beforehand as it’s been so long, but that fucker gave me the biggest hug when we met and instantly I was transported back two decades. We chatted the arse off each other reminiscing about times old, and I can’t tell you the last time I laughed so much. He didn’t even mention my balding head, bless him. I’m still absolutely buzzing, though that may have something to do with the twelve pints of Guinness. Life’s alright sometimes. Edited September 16 by Wretch Quote

Mate, it's the "Things that cheer you up" thread. That's a wonderful thing to read. Quote
Paid Members FLips Posted September 16 Paid Members Posted September 16 I’m not someone that cares much about internet drama, and I care even less about Ed Sheeran. That being said Ed Sheeran’s entire public persona collapsing has been a blast to explain to my wife who loves the gossip, and he’s now the third most talked about Ed in our house, behind Big Ed and ED-209.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted September 16 Paid Members Posted September 16 What about Ed Leslie? Quote
The Gaffer Posted September 16 Posted September 16 Not sure which part of identifying culturally as Irish that Ed Sheeran is meant to be doing here, but it's definitely cheered me up. Looking forward to Nick Cave's blog response to a made up seven year old fan about how we're all too sensitive about artists now or whatever. Quote
Cannibal Man Posted September 16 Posted September 16 Nick Cave having the remainder of his skullet torn off by a seagull while he's walking along Brighton Promenade would really cheer me up Quote
