The Top Gear star took to social media today to share his thoughts on the Pride flags which have been hung in Regent Street, central London.
James May has criticised Pride organisers over the number of flags up in Britain's cities marking the event, saying the decorations could be seen as 'authoritarian' and 'oppressive'.
His post reads: 'Pride: while I have observed and admired what you have achieved over my lifetime, may I respectfully suggest that you are borderline guilty of Too Much Bunting .'Please remember that some terrible things, with which you would not wish to be allied, began with TMB. World War Two, for example. Nice flag, though.'
Some social media users agreed with May, saying 'I do agree, less is more when it comes to hanging stuff over streets' and 'what an excellent way to put it James'. One person wrote: 'I hope you're not insinuating that somehow the LGBTQ+ community is somehow in danger of starting WW3 because of some rainbow flags James?'Another person said: 'Respectfully, comparing the LGBT community to Nazis is very offensive. Very disappointed, James.'
