Noel Gallagher

In April 1994, Supersonic introduced the world to Oasis. The band’s debut single was a pulsing, fearless, pop culture shifting song.

It also did something else significant. The lyrics mention The Big Issue, forever cementing what was at the time a young street magazine into a definite part of British life. No maybes about it.

Since that time, Noel Gallagher has remained a voice to be listened to and reckoned with. And in this week’s magazine he lets loose again, lamenting the damage caused by Brexit, the Tories and ​”all this woke shit that’s now foisted upon everybody”.
