Noel Gallagher calls Brexit a "fucking absolute unmitigated disaster" in new interview – NME

Noel Gallagher has called Brexit a fucking absolute unmitigated disaster in a new interview.

Back in 2019, Gallagher received criticism after calling out those who wanted the result of the EU Referendum overturned. Speaking toThe Manchester Evening News,Gallagher said: Theres only one fucking thing worse that a fool who voted for Brexit. Thats the rise of the c**** trying to get the vote overturned.

Gallagher said people who take part in the democratic process should support the result of the referendum, even if they disagree with it,something hed also said previously. He reiterated that he didnt vote in the elections but that even though he doesnt support the outcome, he thinks people should stand by it.

Now, in a new interview with The Big Issue, Gallagher said Brexit was a living nightmare and detrimental for young people.

Gallagher explained: In the outskirts of Manchester, where I was born, everything is boarded up. I feel sorry for young people growing up in this country now, Brexit has been a fucking absolute unmitigated disaster.

And it will be a living nightmare until some politician has the balls to put a referendum in a manifesto and run on it and go back into the EU. Nothing works in this country anymore. Politics doesnt work. Social Services doesnt work.

He continued: Politics has come to a fucking dead end. I dont understand what any of them stand for any more. The Tories are going to run this country into the ground and then pass it over to Labour and say fucking good luck with that.

He also went on to say how concerned he was for young working class musicians coming through now as they struggle with the cost-of-living crisis, as well as affording to pay for instruments and rehearsal rooms.

No ones come along to speak for them about their lives and their culture and where theyre going next, he continued.

Gallagher addressed the backlash he received for his original comments about the referendum back in 2019 in an interview with The Guardian.People started calling me a Nazi! he said. I thought: Really? A member of the Third Reich?

He went on: Look, I think its ridiculous that were leaving. None of us were even qualified to vote. You ask a guy above a chippy in Bradford if we should leave Europe. Yeah! But I still think if theres a second referendum, as a nation, well never recover. We have to come out because, no matter how ill-informed people were, youre saying to them their vote doesnt count. And its symptomatic of shutting peoples opinions down.

At the time, Gallagher said he remained optimistic about the future, despite the outcome of the EU Referendum saying well be all right.

Gallagher is currently gearing up to release a new album,Council Skies, with theHigh Flying Birds. Set to drop on June 2, it features the singles Council Skies, Dead To The World,Easy NowandPretty Boy.

Yesterday, Gallagherconfirmed that there will be a reissue ofOasis Definitely Maybealbum coming in 2024, though once again shut down the idea of there being a reunion tour taking place any time soon.

There wont be a tour, he said. We wont come back to play them together.
