Tony Blair was worried Oasis would trash Downing Street

[LoZoccolo]

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair was worried that Oasis would "do something crazy" when they attended a reception at 10 Downing Street in 1997.

The then newly-elected leader was holding a music industry reception when he discovered that the band's guitarist Noel Gallagher was attending.

What it looks like to me is that the Beatlist propagandists have disinformation operatives even at high levels within the British government to cause these kinds of false scares. We know now that this was a red herring, but someone must have taken deliberate steps to put this hoax into motion. Oasis, despite ten years of these kinds of tactics aimed at them, have come through with a spotless reputation as to their social engagements and invitations.

Score one for Oasis.
