“The only way forward for me is to leave the band. So he’s walking away from a career he loves in order to freely speak out against progressive hatred, cancel culture and all manner of deep and soul-crushing political correctness. But he believes remaining in the group will force his colleagues to endure endless and awful attacks. His bandmates, by the way, have expressed support for Marshall. I also feel that my previous apology in a small way participates in the lie that such extremism does not exist, or worse, is a force for good.’’ “The truth is that reporting on extremism at the great risk of endangering oneself is unquestionably brave. “The truth is that my commenting on a book that documents the extreme Far-Left and their activities is in no way an endorsement of the equally repugnant Far-Right,’’ he wrote. I’m a banjo player after all,’’ he wrote “’But this was another level.’’īut on Thursday, he officially rescinded the apology. “I’ve had plenty of abuse over the years.
