Queen guitarist Brian May and an array of his showbiz pals have filmed a tongue-in-cheek video to highlight the issue of fox-hunting and blood sports in the run-up to next week’s general election. Come inside to watch it – and be sure to check out the star turns from Patrick Moore and Coleen Nolan!
In the video May pokes fun at the three political party leaders’ failure to get to grips with the economy and calls on the public to use their vote to support the fox-hunting ban.
The video also features the likes of Francis Rossi, Joe Elliott, Tony Iommi and Taylor Hawkins.
It forms part of May’s ‘Save Me’ campaign to prevent the return of legalised blood sports in the British countryside.
May says: “This video is meant to be fun, but of course there is a serious message behind it.
“It’s incredible how many people have no idea that [Conservative leader] David Cameron and his gang stand for the brutality of hunting with dogs, and are intent on repealing the Hunting Act ‘as a priority’ if they are elected.
“Fox-hunting and other blood sports have no place in today’s society and, in the ‘Save Me’ campaign, we’re asking people to make their vote count to keep it this way.”
