What was said
"“one radio station removed Sheran's songs. They said we're not playing him anymore because of his sins of failing to speak out. Um politicians condemned him, literal politicians who should have other things to worry about.”"
Brendan O’Neill says Ed Sheeran faced what he describes as a “monstering” in Ireland over perceived failure to speak out for the “free Palestine movement”. He claims a radio station stopped playing Sheeran’s music and that politicians criticised him.
