Winston Marshall quits Mumford & Sons after Andy Ngo controversy, citing free speech

Why is he so concerned with conservatives in the US and Canada? He’s fucking British.

r2, do you not follow World News at all? Authoritarian NeoLiberals are infringing upon free speech and sex based rights across the globe.

Oh, poor r3. He chose to walk away like a little bitch. No one forced him to do shit. It’s between him and his band. He was criticized online. Big fucking deal. Keep your fucking mouth shut if you can’t take the heat.

The fact he chose Andy Ngo, an obvious grifter and liar, as his hill to die on is super dumb. Smh

They guy had a good gig but apparently is an easily duped alt-rightie - the band is probably breathing a sigh of relief they won't have to be stuck in recording rooms and tour busses with this nitwit anymore.

I've never heard of this guy.

Was he always a nitwit? Or did he just turn into a nitwit recently?

You clowns don't even realize you sound like the Q-Anon of the Left.

Why would anyone care what the banjo player of a shitty little band think?

These stupid ass Brits are always trying to insert themselves into US politics.

I would cancel all of them but I’ve never heard of these idiots before.

R7 to be fair no one ihere s accusing anyone of eating babies or being part of a satanic pedo ring. Qanon is an untreated mental sickness.

Typical low-IQ deplorable.

Why quit? The story barely picked up any steam, this must've been prompted by the other band members, their families, or their management

He could use his fee time to bathe

Mumford and sons are so lefty from what I have read about them. And there fans too, especially in the UK. They would not be cool with this

You might as well ask Piers Morgan and the many other British personalities in US media, why. The British political space is extremely boring, plus in America offers big bucks and followings.

No, no, no, no, no! We won't allow him to get away with that false equivalence. And this just proves he's a deplorable going to bat for MAGAt Andy Ngo.

I thought they were butchers.

So is this Mumford person equally as evil as this Ngo person or are both equally evil?

I wish the Russians would just go ahead and bomb the Brits back to the 1500s. They’re a scourge on the planet, always infesting and putting themselves into the societal affairs of other countries and societies. They’ve done it for so long they’re likely unaware of what a nuisance they are.

His blog post explaining his actions is hilarious. Compares himself to Solzhenitsyn, talks at length about the white hot excitement of being on the road with Mumford and Sons and describes himself as just a "shitkicker from Mortlake". I'm sure he will be OK, given his dad is worth £630m.

Ha-ha.

Let’s give him warm welcome on DL. We love being politically incorrect. But in an endearing way of course!

Antifa doesn’t even exist. How do you write a book about that?

Tory cunt's gonna cunt.

Brave guy. He lost his job defending a gay Asian journalist. Maybe Dataloungers will learn a lesson from this.

I read in a book that Hitler and the Nazi party really hated anti-fascists…..always trying to sabotage fascist dictatorships and their plans for world domination…….those anti-fascists must be really bad characters ……..yea..right

He quit?

How will they ever run the salvage yard without him?

I’ve heard Mumford described as a Christian band. As such I’d think they’d be OK with fascism or at least right wing thinking and a crackdown on civil liberties. There’s a good chance the others think this way but are smart enough to keep their mouths shut. I have no idea. And that’s OK. We don’t have to agree with everything an artist thinks.

Oh my, "Oh, dear" hasn't seen this typo yet. Poor thang is slipping.
