Brian May: Queen star struggling with loved one's death as he blasts Government over Covid

Brian continued: “In the current situation I’m unable to do my job – of making music – and yet I look out of my window every morning and see the construction industry carrying on as if there was no Covid.

“These are the folks who are daily forced to cram themselves on virus-ridden public transport, continuing to work, endangering themselves, just so a few rich speculators can get even richer.

“Next time Boris Johnson talks about saving the ‘economy’, take a moment to wonder what he’s talking about. The small shopkeepers? The pub landlords? The restauranteurs? He’d like you to think so. But then think of the top level business moguls who will benefit from NOT being locked down, and ask yourselves which of them might make the biggest contribution to Tory Party funds, to help him get re-elected next time.

“Am I being callous? Well, give me another reason why the construction industry would have been made exempt from the Covid restrictions – and an exemption made earlier on, in the restriction on numbers in groups gathering – for HUNTING??!

“Sorry folks – I can’t get over my feeling of disgust this morning. I’ll try to find something jolly tomorrow !! Bri,” he signed off.
