Something about this win seems really off to me... like Annie does not look particularly happy announcing that Dave won. I feel like Slowthai was meant to have received the prize yet was quickly blacklisted from winning after his "Fuck Boris" stunt during his performance, them ultimately cutting him off and the presenter afterwards quickly assuring the public that those "were Thai's OWN views". Maybe it's just me that gets that vibe idk (Also no hate against Dave because his album was fantastic and as equally deserving as any of the artists nominated)

The mother off the deceased son, now has to hear the killer of her son has won an award? Thats bang out of order if you ask me.
