Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters has dubbed Ed Sheeran a “p****” who has “done the wrong thing” amid the ongoing controversy over Macklemore being pulled as a support act from Sheeran’s tour after expressing solidarity with Palestinians on stage.

For anyone who doesn’t want to watch the included video: p**** = prick

Edit for formatting

2nd Edit: I have just learned that Waters has very publicly supported Putin in the war on Ukraine saying, that Putin governs carefully and makes decisions based on consensus? So it’s pricks all around in this story.

    Censoring “prick” as “p****” makes it sound a lot worse than it actually is. I can think of other five-letter words starting with P…

        That’s what I expected but in the video he actually calls him a prick. I left it censored in the headline just to be true to the original on the source.

          I’m not sure if the mods allow it, but journalistically I believe using “… p[rick]” or “… p**** [prick]” would have been a clearer way to include it.

          A mod bot might be too dumb to get it though, not sure.

      Yeah, prick isn’t what I was expecting it to be either, though I’d accept either of the two obvious options as accurate. 😀
