RINGO DISGUSTED BY ISIS 'BEATLES' NICKNAME

Ringo is disgusted that British jihadis in Syria have been nicknamed 'The Beatles', claiming ISIS is against everything his former band stood for.

The nickname was revealed by a former ISIS captive who said the gang of British extremists had been compared to the group from Liverpool because of their accents.

The man thought to be responsible for beheading American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff has been dubbed 'Jihadi John', while two other British jihadis are being called Paul and Ringo.

Ringo has spoken out saying that it is 'b******t' that they have these names as it goes against The Beatles' ideology of peace and love.

Ringo told the London Evening Standard:'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.'

Ringo admits that he and Paul are powerless to stop their names being linked to the fanatics despite their fans' fury over their names being linked to the ISIS members.

Ringo won a GQ Man of the Year award earlier this week for his humanitarian work, which sees his Peace and Love fund raise money for war veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress.

John was known for his anti-war stance and releases songs such as 'Give Peace A Chance', 'Imagine' and 'Merry Xmas (War Is Over)'
