Noel Gallagher “Might Be Busy” During EU Referendum

Songwriter has some sobering thoughts for politicians...

Noel Gallagher has revealed that he "might be busy" during tomorrow's EU referendum.

The songwriter spoke to CBC a few days ago, and conversation naturally turned to this week's dominant topic – the possibility of Brexit.

Noel was quick to joke about the topic: "I like the fact that it sounds like a cereal; a bowl of Brexit!"

However, he was in no mood to give away his voting intentions: "I'll decide to vote on the morning. I might be busy."

"Do I think we should leave? I don't think we should be given a vote," he said. "I see politicians on TV every night telling us that this is a f–king momentous decision that could f–king change Britain forever and blah, blah, blah. It's like, okay, why don't you f–king do what we pay you to do which is run the f–king country and make your f–king mind up?"

"What are you asking the people for?" he continued. "99 percent of the people are thick as pig shit." 

Noel Gallagher then contrasted the debate over EU membership with the Iraq war. "They [politicians] didn't f–king ask us for a referendum when they were going off to war, did they? No, f–king assholes." All jokes aside: voting is extremely important, so make sure you do it tomorrow (June 23rd, write it down).
