The Reverend himself Jon McClure believes that David Beckham had the power to stop the Iraq War.
The singer, famous for spouting his views, says he's frustrated that celebrities don't use their status to do things more meaningful.
Blathering about Beckham, McClure told the Press Association: “If David Beckham had of spoken out about Iraq it wouldn't have happened, I honestly believe that hand on heart, or Britain certainly wouldn't have got involved."
He continued: "Beckham's cultural gravitas was as such in that period that if he'd have gone 'I don't want this war in Iraq, it's an awful thing, we should not do it', it wouldn't have happened, the public would've gone mad against it.
“But because he kept his gob shut, and everybody else did, it happened, we sleepwalked our way there."
