Brian May meets ‘very impressive’ Jeremy Corbyn – and can’t resist a photo
Brian May has met Jeremy Corbyn for the first time – and couldn’t resist posing for a picture with the Labour leader.
The Queen guitarist, 70, told fans he found Corbyn “very impressive” after the pair were introduced at the Lush Summit 2017 in London on Monday.
May praised the politician for speaking like a “human being” and advocating “common decency”.
He documented their meeting on Instagram where he posted a picture of himself and Corbyn alongside the caption: “At Lush conference right now. First time I've met Mr Corbyn – gotta say he's very impressive – speaks like a human being rather than a politician.
“And his aspirations for Britain have a lot in common with Common Decency. Respects. Bri.”
May – who is an animal rights activist and recently criticised “awful woman” Teresa May for her stance on fox hunting – also praised Corbyn for “talking good sense on attacking wildlife crime”.
May's meeting with the Labour leader comes days after he had another British Airways meltdown. The musician accused the company of not caring about passengers when he was left waiting for his luggage at Heathrow's Terminal 5.
It's his second outburst in recent months after he flew into a rage in June over the “horrible” first-class seating, which he said “completely sucks”.
He posted a lengthy rant on his website about how much he “hates” the new “three feet” gap between the recliner seats and the windows as it has left him “bored” and “frustrated” on flights.
A spokesperson for BA addressed May's dislike at the time - and couldn't resist dropping in a Queen lyric: “Very many customers praise our spacious and luxurious First cabin and we hope that Brian in time will still feel we are somebody to love.”
