"Their collective dishonesty is beyond shameful. God help Britain": Queen's Brian May hits out at the UK government and Britain's right-wing press

Brian May versus The Daily Mail

Queen's Brian May has hit out at the UK government and Britain's right-wing press in a scathing post on Instagram.

Queen's guitarist posted a photo of the front page of the Daily Mail newspaper from Friday, August 4, which featured Greenpeace protestors in front of, and on the roof of, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's "country mansion", holding up a banner reading, 'Rishi Sunak - Oil Profits Or Our Future.' The Daily Mail headline accompanying the photo reads 'HOW ON EARTH COULD THIS BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN?' with a sub-headline/Daily Mail Comment stating, 'As eco-protestors occupy the roof of the PM's family home, what a humiliating symbol of our supine tolerance of a tiny, self-obsessed bunch of zealots who disrupt everyday life with impunity.'

The image May posted had red lines scrawled over the newspaper front page.
