Queen star Brian May has called for “an absolutely radical restart” of government policy after the Grenfell Tower fire .

The guitarist, 69, savaged the Tories on his website.

He raged: “Almost as if it were a thunderbolt from the heavens, all those closed doors behind which the skulduggery took place have been opened...

“All those ruthless, selfish b******* have to get the comeuppance now. They must go. Every last one of them.”

May, who is performing on Simon Cowell 's charity single for the victims of the fire, added: “Of course we won’t literally chop off their heads. Hopefully we have enough Common Decency in us not allow things to run amok. But they must go.

“Every last vestige of the rotten, filthy, old-style privileged Tory edifice must be torn down. I can already see the glint of the blade of the guillotine rising out of the mist. It is time.”

Explaining his anti-Tory rhetoric he wrote on his website brianmay.com : “It’s now so clear to everyone that the red tape and the social care network that the Tories absolutely consciously destroyed have led to our country being a wasteland for the common people.

“Worse than that – even the simple safeguards to keep people secure in their beds at night was thrown away. This is why we have a burning building spelling out the truth for us. It has cost the lives of these poor people to wake us up – and we all know that if they had been rich people, this never would have happened.”
