GALLAGHER BRANDED 'IGNORANT' OVER SOLDIER OUTBURST
LATEST: OASIS NOEL GALLAGHER rocker has been branded ''ignorant'' after urging injured British troops to stop complaining about their post-war treatment and declaring they shouldn't have joined the army if they feared being wounded.
Noel Gallagher and Sara MacDonald leave after seeing the Oasis 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down' gala screening at the Curzon Cinema. London, England - 20.11.06
The GO LET IT OUT hitmaker believes the current war in Iraq is "an almighty cock-up" by the British and US governments, but doesn't sympathise with returned soldiers who seek compensation for their injuries.
But his outburst has been blasted by the UK's National Gulf Veterans and Families Association, with trustee RAY BRISTOW insisting Gallagher has thousands of ex-servicemen to thank for his freedom.
Bristow says, "I think he's an ignorant man - ignorant in the sense of not understanding.
"He is in a privileged position in society where he is able to have free speech and make comments like he has made.
"But what enables him to have that privileged position and have free speech has cost this nation thousands upon thousands of soldiers, sailors, airmen and merchant seamen."
