A Bluesky post by Marina Purkiss argues that Sheeran's "nice guy image has collapsed" not for failing to speak on Palestine himself, but for allowing someone else to be silenced for doing so. She frames his inaction as a political act requiring him to take a stand.
“His nice guy image has collapsed — It's not that Ed Sheeran didn't speak up on 🇵🇸, it's that he allowed the silencing of someone who did…”
