(1) Even with a relatively minor story like Ed Sheeran's tour, there is a grim determination in UK media to report a weird inverted reality - (a) Ed Sheeran's being cancelled! - when a promoter has literally cancelled Sheeran's support, Macklemore, for political reasons....

(2) (b) 'Why must musicians force their views on today's pop kids' - reporting implies Macklemore just randomly started a speech, but actually "Hinds Hall" is one of his hits, in his set (sample lyric) - its (partly) why Sheeran booked him

(3).Macklemore's 'thing' is pop-rap with a bit of social consciousness, wether on consumerism ('Thrift Shop', his breakthrough ), gay rights or Gaza ( Hinds Hall 1 & 2 ) Sheeran wants/likes/needs a touch of musical 'credibility', thats why he booked him, knowing this is him

Replying to @SolHughesWriter
the so called 'free speech union' think it's 'cancel culture' when ordinary members of the public think ed sheeran is craven, but it's not cancel culture when a zionist billionaire steps in to silence someone saying stop killing kids.
