Noel Gallagher dubs Brexit a ‘f***ing absolute unmitigated disaster’

  1. * He said he didn’t bother voting.

    * In 2017 he told people to “get over it” and get on with Brexit.
    >“In England, the Brexit thing, it’s like, I can’t believe there’s so much noise about it,” the musician said. “You know what I mean? It was put to the people as a vote. The people voted. That’s democracy. Fucking get over it.” “I didn’t vote because I didn’t think we should have been given the vote in the first place because as ordinary members of the public how are the fuck are you qualified to talk about the break-up of the oldest continent in the fucking world.”
    >Gallagher continued: “Then the people trying to get the vote overturned, they used to call that fascism. But they don’t call it fascism anymore because they’re fucking ‘right on’.

    Edit: for the people saying it wasn’t because he couldn’t be bothered to vote:

    >I sat the day of Brexit and thought: **‘I can’t be arsed going to the polling station**, who the fuck would vote to leave Europe? It’s a nonsensical fucking idea’. And you wake up the next day and think: ‘Fucking ing hell, shit.’

  2. Why is the london economic reporting on what a musician thinks on Brexit… surely they can find a more useful and informed source.

  3. So I’m guessing he is coming up against it being dammed expensive to tour in Europe from UK.

    To be honest I didn’t see that one. But I knew enough shit was going to down if we voted leave. It like watching a slow motion car crash.

    I suspect sadly things are going to get worse but hey the rich and powerful lined there pockets.

    Only time will tell if UK can fix this but I suspect and hope the idiots in middle England next year take a hard look at the Tory party and either don’t vote or actively vote for anyone else.

    Ps I’m in Scotland where because for a multitude of reasons Tory party will not lightly get into power.

    To be fair to rest of the political party’s I also have zero confidence in them.

    PS anyone wanna buy a motor home 😂

    No vote, no voice. No-one gives a toss about your opinions if you “couldn’t be arsed” to go place your vote on the day.

  5. It’s quite bizarre people are commenting on Noel Gallagher interviews as if every word he’s ever said isn’t him having a laugh and being a no nonsense blunt type of person. A lot of quotes attributed to him are from a podcast he does occasionally with a comedy writer friend of his where they are having a laugh so all that context gets taken out of it too

    I agree with his current position on Brexit. I like Oasis and his solo stuff. I find him to be a funny and entertaining interview…. Yet I don’t understand how his Brexit views are particularly newsworthy 🤷‍♂️

  6. Even Bruce Dickinson is saying Brexit is horseshit and he was all for it beforehand. What a mess. At least now there is no denying it and if you still believe in Brexit people think you’re some sort of cunt

  7. Is there anything this cunt doesn’t have an opinion on. It seems like every other day, the media are asking him about something. Good song writer definitely, the UKs foremost authority on everything nope.

  8. Interesting choice of words. But what do you accept if you vote a cult into government? Do you think a cult would “mitigate”?

  9. Never really got the appeal of oasis. People act like they were the best band ever but they’re nowhere near the best band from Manchester.

  10. You know what the worst thing about Brexit is to me? I didn’t even get a say. I was ineligible to vote due to my age. Now I’m completing my MA and I’ve seen the effects of Brexit run rampant through my education, my career prospects and my chance of working and living abroad as a qualified worker. I still do have options, but a part of my future was scuppered without me even having a voice in the matter. Most of my peers and people my age (early 20s) feel the same way. We were powerless in the whole process! You bet we got down to the local elections though, and I’ll be gleefully putting my vote in at the general election against this disgusting government.

  11. It’s almost as if everyone was screaming that at the top of their lungs all while the Tories were in their Mansions wondering why it was so quite, then pushing it through without the People’s consent or bothering to actually tell the people the truth about WHY they wanted to leave in the 1st place.

  12. Noel gallagher, the most self-absorbed musician I’ve heard.

    I thought brexit was peachy until *Noel Gallagher* said it is a nightmare.

    Every time I hear about him, it’s because he’s insulted someone. He’s like a scotsman hearing a cashier refuse scottish currency. Gotta butt in.

  13. Thank God, I was waiting for his statement. I wasn’t sure how to feel about this whole Brexit thing, but now that a washed up singer has voiced it so clearly, I know exactly where I stand.

  14. Why are we listening to the politics of popstars? Noel didn’t even vote in the referendum so doesn’t really have a right to stand on his soapbox and make comment.

  15. Bluntly honest I see. Brexit will give historians of our era something to laugh at! While we suffer from it. To not see it’s a disaster you’d have to be stupid enough to think that Boris Johnson is truthful.

  16. The vote was near enough half in, half out.
    Answer to that is Norway, what have we been given? North Korea.

    The country wrote the worst people in politics a blank cheque and those are beholden to bigger nut jobs than even them who would tow the country across the Atlantic if they could.

    It’s a bad job done badly.

  17. Well yes obviously but Brexit voters knew it would be an absolute unmitigated disaster, that’s just the price you pay for the thing that they wanted

  18. Why is an opinion from a washed out artist headline worthy?

    Anyone who upvoted this needs to reevaluate what they consider worthwhile content.

  19. It has been sabotaged by all the leftists in politics and the civil service. Only bothered about controlling the people and treating us like slaves
