The outspoken singer and guitarist said Jade's publicist Max Clifford has too much power after Justice Secretary Jack Straw agreed to his request for Jade's fiance Jack Tweed to be allowed to stay with her on their wedding night.
Tweed is on a home detention curfew after being jailed for assaulting a 16-year-old boy with a golf club.
Noel said: "I was watching the TV and they're all outside her house. There's a global crisis apparently going on, and it's `Jack Straw, could you have a look at this?' Max Clifford somehow manages to shape the mood of the nation." Noel said he had `nothing against' the reality TV star, but added: "That, to me, sums up, in one tiny five-minute thing on the news, what an embarrassing place Britain is right now. You might as well shut No 10 Downing Street down and get Max Clifford to run the country."
Noel also revealed that the songs he wrote on the first two Oasis albums were his way of declaring his desire to escape Manchester.
"All those songs if you listen to them, the feeling in all of them is of a yearning - to be somewhere else, not to be here.
"I didn't know that three years after I wrote Live Forever it would become an anthem. I just knew in my heart of hearts, that my place wasn't in Manchester, I was meant to be somewhere else."

Jade requested all that is happening, she wanted money to help with the little ones when she passes away. Unfortunately most things in life aren't free. I dont see the flood gates opening with cash windfalls unless you give something for it.
Completely agree. The job of MPs is to create laws, the job of the courts is to enforce them. The home secretary shouldn't be allowed to over-rule the courts.
He's got a point. I'm sick of hearing about her!
All of the media attention she is getting is shocking. Thousands of people get cancer in this country every year and yet I bet none of them get this type of media circus following them everywhere.

Yeah you wanted to be in New Labour's beloved London - to be near Hoxton Square and living alongside Max, Jade & the rest of Britain's talentless media celebrities. Now that's "embarrassing"!!
for someone who's as close to death as we're led to believe - she don't half get about a bit. get in your house, stay in it. get in bed - and pull the duvet over your head.
people die everyday from cancer. with a bit of pride and dignity.
she should do the same.
celebrity pah? what exactly are we celebrating here?
I agree with him over the Goody Circus. The Home Secretary shouldn't have got involved. Goody's husband has since been convicted of another offence. I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone, but Goody is being portrayed as a role model. She should just disappear and carry on in a dignified and personal manner. The day she stops influencing anyone will be a good day for us all in this once great country of ours.
I am behind Noel.
My fiance has just passed away with what started as ovarian cancer at the age of 38. In the end she had over 7 tumours all over her stomach. She was diagnosed with stage 3, 3 years ago so I have seen first hand what comes with this cancer. To see Jade everywhere I look with the all the rubish talks upsets me. A lot of the stuff is questionable and to be honest she is not royalty.
Maybe the press should talk about real people like us rather than concentrating on that rubish.
well im sure most people in manchester are thankful you have "escaped" & moved to london, oh wait a minute was it not only a couple of months ago you were whinging about how much you hate living in london?? what an embarrassment you are to manchester.
How easy it is for Noel to make that judgement when he's 'cancer free' and not having the pressure of having to worry about his child's future,maybe if the boot was on the other foot...........
I agree about Jade. I have never been bothered about her and am not now. That doesn't mean I am glad she has cancer, I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but all these 'newspapers' tore her to shreds over Big Brother and said how she was embarressing to Britain and a product of chav culture but now she is a media darling with an 8 page pullout in one of the tabloids on Sunday!
I for one am not jumping on the 'I love Jade, isn't she great' bandwagon.
"I just knew in my heart of hearts, that my place wasn't in Manchester, I was meant to be somewhere else."
Stockport surely?
I agree with Noel Gallagher. The chav type media coverage of Goody has been obscene. I watched with astonishment a week or so ago to see Gordon Brown saying he thought the right thing had been done in allowing the criminal Tweedy to have his wedding night. A Prime Minister of all people commenting on a puerile event when the country, indeed the world, is in crisis - unbelievable! But I suppose that's what New Labour has been all about.
I have not read anything in detail about Goody but find I cannot escape the continual headlines and news broadcast snippets - I'm not even sure what she's famous for. This country has become a ridiculous, celebrity obsessed nation where trivia overrides common sense and common decency. When I think of all the seriously sick people who suffer in silence, many of whom are in hospices that have to beg for charity in order to keep going, I am filled with a hatred of our priorities.
The only people to restore my faith have been the many cancer, and other serious disease sufferers, who have raised millions of pounds, not for themselves or for their families, but for charities involving health research and hospital equipment etc. And when I juxtapose this against somebody like Max Clifford and the media circus, I feel utter despair.
I was meant to be somewhere else Noel said. I wish he'd go to where ever that somewhere else is. I certainly wouldn't miss him.
Noel comes but once a year, I wish this version would just go...every year. It seems it is just publicist envy, that's what you get when you are out of the limelight, your politics are outdated and you turn your back on your history and sense of being. Poor noel boo hoo!
I agree with his comments about Jade but it sounds like he is about to do a Ringo.....
Remember where you came from Noel my boy......
So who's jumping on the Jade bandwagon for publicity now then Noel? Love her, hate her or couldn't care less about her, she's doing it to make money for her kids' future, and I for one don't blame her.
Jade Goody's plight is as upsetting, heart-breaking and as sad as anyone who has the misfortune to contract this terrible disease. She has as much of my sympathy as I would give to anyone else. I really don't see any need for it to be publicised so much. But on the other hand, she does have guts to keep up her profile while facing such a devastating situation. I couldn't see myself wanting to if I were in such difficulty.
Jade is doing everything she can to earn money for her kid's future, as well as the fact she's brought the issue of cervical cancer in to the limelight. Hopefully her suffering will make a difference to others and has at least shown that women in england should not have to wait until they are 25 to be screened. Good on you Jade, you're a very brave lady xxx
Good on you Noel. Clifford wants her to be the new Lady Di and the gullible are falling for it.
I've got a lot of time for Noel. He's great on Deal or No Deal, and his Gotcha's were legendary! Not sure about that Blobby fella though...
Pippa, Red Devil, well said.
