Former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher just made some controversial remarks when he revealed why he is firmly against wearing a mask amidst the coronavirus pandemic. He went so far as to call wearing a mask “cowardly” despite the fact that there are mask mandates in the United Kingdom, where he currently resides.

“I choose not to wear one,” Gallagher said, according to Fox News. “If I get the virus, it’s on me. If every other c–t’s gonna wear a mask, I’m not gonna catch it off them. And if I’ve got it, they’re not gonna catch it off me. I just think it’s a piss-take.”

He went on to argue that there are “too many f–king liberties being taken away” from citizens around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the United Kingdom, citizens are mandated to wear masks while in public places, and they can be hit with fines for not complying of $260 upward to $4,156 for repeat offenders.

“I was going up to Manchester the other week and some guy’s going, ‘Can you put your mask on?’ on the train, ‘because the transport police will get on and fine you a thousand pounds. But you don’t have to put it on if you’re eating,’” Gallagher continued. “So I was saying, ‘Oh right, this killer virus that’s sweeping through the train is gonna come and attack me, but see me having a sandwich and go, leave him, he’s having his lunch?’”

“Why do you have to wear one when you’re having a f–king haircut, but you don’t have to wear one in the pub?” he went on to question.

Gallagher even admitted to taking a private jet on vacation last month, just to avoid having to follow the mask mandates on commercial flights.

“There was six of us and we were like, ‘F going to Heathrow and being marched around and being told what to do,’” Gallagher said. “It’s not something I do often because they are expensive for what they are but the ballache of having to get on a plane in a mask. I was just like, ‘F–k it.’”
