Noel Gallagher says protests 'pointless'

Haha..dweeb but have to love his style sometimes.


Noel Gallagher says protests 'pointless'

Noel Gallagher won't be joining fellow musicians in anti-war protests.

He has described them as a "bloody waste of time".

Gallagher said he may not agree with the war but the Labour government is tied to the US and so protests are pointless.

He told Der Tagesspiegel in Berlin: "Protests are a bloody waste of time, the war will go ahead anyway.

"Whenever there is a conservative, bible waving half-wit ruling in the White House - whether it's Bush, his father or Reagan - there is war."

Gallagher, in Germany for an Oasis tour, said he felt sorry for Tony Blair: "Whoever is the British prime minister is tied to America. It's been that way since the Second World War, and even Tony Blair can't change that.

"Politics is like football for me. Labour is my team and even if you don't like a striker you don't give up supporting the whole team."

He added: "Labour is the lesser of two evils. What else should we have? Anarchy? Someone has to be responsible.

"We are a nation of moaning sissies, regardless of who governs. The British get on my nerves. They moan about the weather, about the French, about the Germans. They moan about cricket, football - they should just keep their mouths shut."

Speaking about himself he said that if he ever did an autobiography it would be called Kettle, Cigarettes, Guitar, Television, as he didn't need anything else in order to live - no women, no drugs, and no band.
