We’re they asked to weigh in? A scarf was thrown on stage.. Tom Jones never had a problem with that sort of thing!Walking off stage seems a bit of an overreaction but I'm not sure how we've reached a stage where a pop band who's schtick is "the voice of Britain's disaffected working class" is criticised for refusing to weigh in on the Israeli-Palestine conflict.
I didn't say 'asked'. I said 'criticised for not doing so', which is what is happening. Your personal feelings on the situation in Palestine aren't relevant to this discussion. I'm not a big fan of theirs but I can't recall them signing songs about the situation in the middle east or even commenting on it before so it's hardly their 'bread and butter'. Their political and social commentary has always felt very UK centric whenever I've heard them.We’re they asked to weigh in? A scarf was thrown on stage..

Their schtick is political social commentary.. this is there bread and butter! It not like fans of the band Steps are demanding to know the bands thoughts on quantitive easing vs open market operations. It’s a bloody genocide backed almost entirely by our ruling class.
Must just be me then.. no reaction at all to their band in the upcoming gigs.. business as usual.I didn't say 'asked'. I said 'criticised for not doing so', which is what is happening.

Not just you and that’s sort of my point. I’m just not a fan of these pile-ons, backlashes, cancel culture for every perceived failing from absolutely anyone. All it leads to is fakery as everyone in the public eye is so concerned about not saying something wrong rather than being authentic. There’s so much abhorrent behaviour around the whole thing that I just think that what the singer of the Sleaford Mods has or hasn’t said shouldn’t even register.Must just be me then.. no reaction at all to their band in the upcoming gigs.. business as usual.
You may not be a fan.. but social media is very much social commentary.. and social commentary is nothing new.. FREDDIE STAR ATE MY HAMSTERNot just you and that’s sort of my point.

If I have an opinion.. you don't have to have that opinion y'know.Not everyone has to have opinion on everything. I don’t like their music but applaud this stance.
Stop telling people what to think.
If I have an opinion.. you don't have to have that opinion y'know.
of have you read somebody saying they agree with their stance first and so that is your opinion now lol
Time to step back newyddion.If I have an opinion.. you don't have to have that opinion y'know.

‘Stop telling people what to think’Time to step back newyddion.
Just leave it‘Stop telling people what to think’
Bizarre
I just thought it was a cop out..I have no idea what you’re even trying to say here mush?
You’re mad because they haven’t shared their opinion on something they’re not experts in. In this day and age where EVERYONE must have an opinion about EVERYTHING, it is refreshing to take that stance. I couldn’t care less about your opinion but the fact you’re actively annoyed at someone for not sharing yours is ridiculous.
My mate threw a stone roses hat on stage at a seahorses gig (Middlesbrough Town Hall)If I was performing on stage and a Boro scarf was thrown on, I'd raise it above my head.
If it was a skunks scarf, I would lob it back in the crowd.. only saying, like!
Just block or ban or naughty step or whatever.Just leave it
