Ringo Starr has expressed his disgust at British jihadis in Syria being nicknamed John, Paul and Ringo.
According to a former captive, the Islamic State terrorists were given the nicknames by hostages taken in Syria, due to their British accents.
One of them, known as Jihadi John, is suspected of beheading American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff.
A number of escaped and freed hostages initially seized in Syria have spoken of the three Britons who acted as guards. According to an NBC News source, “The Beatles” were harsher than other guards: “They were really rough with them. Whenever the Beatles showed up, there was some kind of physical beating or torture.”
Starr spoke of his disgust at the nicknames at the opening of designer John Varvatos’ new store in Conduit Street, London. The former Beatle is the face of the label’s autumn 2014 advertising campaign.
It’s bullshit. What they are doing out there is against everything The Beatles stood for.If we stood for anything we never stood for that. The four of us absolutely stood for peace and love. But we are not in control.

Thank you! Never saw this on the nightly propaganda (news). Hurray for Ringo!
Why did they choose to leave George out ? Why not him ?
Islam extremists should suffer the same death that they administer to others. May their 72 virgins be all men geeks.
May their 72 virgins have eternal pms.
Crazies will do what they do ,Ringo keep peace alive
THE FREE WORLD NEEDS TO GO A LITTLE MAXWELL’S SILVA HAMMER ON isis.
Yes, Ringo is absolutely RIGHT!!! I guess they didn’t name one of them as “George” because there were/are only 3 islamic jihadis with british accent. But it was really a fail that they’ve nicknamed those men with the three Beatles own names since The Beatles always have been men of peace and love, through the group’s life, their individual lifes (as Beatles and as solo singers/composers) and through their music!!!!!!
