Tom Meighan's best quotes: One Direction to the Tories

The opinionated rock star offers his thoughts on boybands to award shows to politicians

On the BRIT awards: The event was "from start to finish, just absolutely tiring. Absolutely awful, bad TV, James Corduroy probably live his last life. I don't mind the guy, but even he was struggling, you know? And that said a lot." He added, "Everyone knows it. It was awful from start to finish, and everyone knows it, it was terrible."

Kasabian's Tom Meighan has never quite known the meaning of subtlety. The rock band's vocalist certainly isn't afraid of speaking his mind - just today, for example, he's blasted both the BRIT awards ceremony and the Spice Girls.

Meighan has an opinion on everything, from Coldplay to the Cookie Monster (no, we're not joking about that one), and voices them whenever he gets the chance. Meighan has offered his thoughts on the Conservatives, the Royals, One Direction and even which song he thinks would be best to have sex to (not One Direction).
