I personally don't think you can ever call oasis mediocre. Particularly the first couple of albums. However that aside, noël is well within his rights to give his personal opinion on politics....whether the media choose to broadcast, print that is up to them but I guess he was asked his opinion, he gave it
He couldn't win, if he didn't give an answer people would say he's just a thick Manc twat who doesn't care about politics, he gave his opinion and is now being told he can't....why not. He is a voting member of the GBP....why should he not give his opinion, just because he's a musician, does that make his views any less his own?
