One of the most consistent subjects of Gallagher's abuse is Phil Collins. Such insults include "People fucking hate cunts like Phil Collins, and if they don't — they fucking should" and "Why did he sell so many records in the '80s? I mean, fucking hell",[51] as well as "Phil Collins sells a lot of records but he makes shit albums."[52] Gallagher also claimed that Collins said he'd leave Britain for Switzerland if the Labour Party won the 1997 general election, and commented in the Daily Mirror, prior to the 2005 general election, "Vote Labour. If you don't and the Tories get in, Phil is threatening to come back from Switzerland and live here — and none of us want that." He also referred to Collins as "the anti-Christ".[53] Collins struck back in 2005, stating that he had moved to Switzerland not for political reasons, but to be with his third wife Orianne, and was not a Conservative voter. He successfully convinced Paul Merton that the Gallagher brothers deserved to be put into Room 101, explaining: "They're rude and not as talented as they think they are. I won't mince words here, but they've had a go at me personally."[54] Discussing this Wikipedia entry, Noel told MTV's Gonzo in 2007, "Phil Collins knows he can't say anything about me because I'm the fucking bollocks and that's the thing that does his head in, and the fact that he's bald."[55]
