Those of you from the UK, who might be persuaded to support Brian's Save Me campaign, please visit the web site: www.save-me.org.uk Please consider signing up if you haven't already. He needs your help.
Edit: There I fixed the link, lest anyone else be led astray from the top of the page.

I'm bumping this back up. It is not as though I expected replies, but I do hope that some of you from the UK might think it over and decide to join Brian's cause if you haven't already. I know this is a Queen forum and not a Brian forum, but he is the visible face of Queen these days, as Roger doesn't have a website, Deacon is in seclusion and poor Freddie gone. So I would hope that there might be at least a few who will feel some loyalty on the basis of all of the enjoyment they have had from Queen over the years if not for the animals themselves, for it is now time to circle the wagons for his Save Me campaign as time is relatively short.

It sucks. I'd join- but I'm not British. What an irony!

I'm with you here. It's really disgusting, and I also would join if I was British.

This was a wonderful sentiment and I smiled at your bump yesterday. :) Way to be persistent for Brian and the cause.
To those that are concerned about not being from the UK I don't think that's an issue. Brian explicitly noted that he was delighted with the international support. I'm sure you'd be welcome, and many people on the Facebook page noted they were from somewhere else. Though it did occur to me that there are potential ethical problems with participating from outside the UK since the group does seek to influence votes and political positions.
I signed up very early as a fan for just the reasons you outlined and I was happy to do it. That lasted less than 2 days before I dropped the page. I tried, for Brian, but I just can't handle the expressed mindset even though my personal views on hunting as far as choices I would make in my own life are just like theirs. They are a strange, very offputting mix of genuine passion, arrogance and credulity. Brian's letter to that councillor on his website was the last straw. None of it is anything I want to be associated with and I can't imagine I'm particularly special. A potential squandering of probably the only unambiguously good thing about fame.

Why are you promoting some shitty search engine ? If it's some kind of joke, it's not funny.

It seems like the original url posted accidentally dropped the .uk. It should be:

Has Brian gone bonkers? I do believe he has just threatened an elected offical with violence... http://www.brianmay.com/brian/letters/letters.html

That has just gone up since I checked in there mid morning! It was sort of strange as there was a mention of something having been removed.
The letter just below this Parsons blow-out was supportive, and when he answered he said he was making enemies and being vilified by some.
I think Brian must have heard those remarks, being referred to as "the hairy man" or "a millionaire rock star" about one time too many, and lost it! The letter from Councillor Parsons was pretty nasty and provocative itself. It sounds like Brian is getting really stressed out.

It's not a particularly nice letter- it's bullying for one thing (the use of little man isn't very nice)- however I don't believe that he was threatening the official, at least not with violence. He was simply suggesting that he hopes that the people fire him, so to speak. As I said, I don't really like the letter, however I don't like the reference to Brian's being a 'cosseted London rock star.' It annoys me as it's basically saying that since May is a wealthy rock star, he has no right to an opinion. I think that's nonsence. Agree with him or not, I think that May has as much right to an opinion as anybody else, and on this issue, he does seem to have done his research.

I'm thinking you maybe didn't read all the way to the bottom past the picture...
