NOEL GALLAGHER: "GREENS ARE F**KING HIPPIES" (AND SLAMS SOLDIERS, ROBBIE WILLIAMS, AND ELTON JOHN TOO..."

Noel Gallagher has again ranted with Gigwise about anything and eveything.

Perhaps in a bid to secure some tabloid inches on the week of Oasis' best of album release, Noel Gallagher has once again spat his bile of a series of issues.

The Oasis lynchpin primarily attacked green politics and maintained that he is doing his bit for the environment by not driving a car.

He ranted: “Greens are fucking hippies with no place in the world. How do you suggest we get millions of Chinese to stop using a fridge? Or get millions of Americans to stop using their big, stupid cars?”

In the interview, he continued that he's not too worried about the future that's in store for his children, adding: “Kids adapt. Our parents are horrified about the society we built for ourselves – drugs and sex and drink and rock and roll and television.

“But to us that's normal. So we'll be horrified by what follows. By the time I'm on my deathbed my daughter Anais, who's six, will be some mental; axe-wielding cyber-punk lunatic.

“They always say we have to leave a safer planet for our children. Well, I haven't got my a car so I'm doing my bit for the environment.”

Elsewhere in the interview with The Sun, Noel attacked the likes of Robbie Williams and Elton John for not leading normal lives, saying: “It pisses me off that they lock themselves from humanity.

He also took a swipe at troops who complain about going to Iraq, saying that's what they joined the army for.

Noel finished: “The troops want to go (to Iraq), all they want to do is fight! They're soldiers. They're loving it, until they get shot - then they're claiming compensation. If you're bothered about getting shot – here's a thing – don't join the army.”

Recently Noel and Liam also spoke about the new Beatles' album "Love" that the production team is 'rubbish' and added “If you haven't got The Beatles by now, you're not going to get it. I'm all Beatled up!”. Noel said that he turned the album off after five songs, he was so disappointed in it.
