Queen's Brian May has described himself as "very anti-David Cameron."

"I might sound anti-Tory but I would say I'm very anti-David Cameron," he said inBig Issue.

"He stands for privilege, for the continuation and acceleration in the difference between the extremely rich and extremely poor. I find that iniquitous and almost beyond belief."

"I regard it as one of [my] briefs to make sure that people know that that is what David Cameron stands for, what William Hague stands for, what George Osborne stands for; a return to the old barbaric ways."

"People who are prepared to ride roughshod over animals are also prepared to ride roughshod over humans.

They shouldn't be the people running our country. If the outcome is another David Cameron-led government then we're back in the saltmines.

Like many people, anything but that would be good."

May is a staunch animal rights campaigner, having protested against the badger cull, as well as attempts to bring back fox hunting.
