UK Media obediently trying to sanitise the Sheeran silencing of artists. What a surprise, if viewers still keep consuming this brainwashing then things are just going to get worse, much, much worse than they are now, the tsunami of repression is coming for everyone who fails to realise it.

If anyone is wondering when England stepped onto the path to fascism, it was when millions enthusiastically elected a leader who labelled those who resisted "the enemy within" and voters kept voting for those policies ever since, actively cheering them on. Anyone remember when they chose this ?
