He may indeed be as “British as anyone” today, given the degeneration of Britain into a shabby little police state, but he joined an entity that was avowedly at war with Britain and called repeatedly for the murder of British citizens. That ought to be disqualifying, but with Britain today, you never know.
“ISIS ‘Beatle’ Jihadi Ringo begs to return to UK with secret wife and 3 children,” by Chris Hughes, Mirror, June 17, 2019:
Britain’s most senior Islamic State terrorist still alive, Alexanda Kotey, has a family in Syria – and he wants them to live in the UK.
Kotey said he has a Syrian wife and three girls, aged five, three and one.
Gaunt and exhausted, 35-year-old Kotey apologised for his crimes but said he is “grateful” for his time in IS.
He said he is thankful because – overlooking the terror group’s unimaginable bloodshed and carnage – it led to him getting a jihadi bride.
Some women were forced to wed fighters but others saw it as an honour.
Kotey – dubbed “Ringo” in the notorious “Beatles” cell, which is thought to have participated in the killing of at least seven hostages – also claimed he is as “British as anyone”.
In our interview with him in prison, he admitted abusing Western prisoners before they were beheaded.
He claimed he regrets joining IS but, during the conversation in northern Syria, Kotey failed to completely hide his sinister side. He said of the beheading videos: “I didn’t condemn it. That was the environment.”
He said that when he saw Jihadi John behead Westerners, he disapproved but merely asked: “Is there no other way to deal with these people?”…

How symbolic is the comparison between the real beatles and their post modern analogues?
It may well clarify what kind of processes this great civilization has undergone…
So sad
Jayell says
It’s a pretty sick misappropriation of British culture.
Rufolino says
Well, what Britain is sinking to, is sick !
gravenimage says
Yes–it’s disgusting.
CRUSADER says
….and Tony Stark was helped by “Muslims” to become IRON MAN….

Yes–this has been covered at Jihad Watch. More Muslim bs.
Keya says
If he is so grateful then he can stay there.
mortimer says
He burned his passport, so he should never be issued a new one.
Paul J says
Imagine, yeah right on John.
Eric Jones says
Expose his crimes then execute him.
Eric
CRUSADER says
Now, now, Eric, you are so forthright! 😉
Ravi says
As British as anyone? Yeah he looks like Queen’s first cousin. Probably can recite Magna Carta with the same ease as the murderous Koran verses. Sure he is British and I’m the pope.
Save Europe says
Agreed Ravi. He considers himself only Muslim, in the Dar Al-Harb.
John Allan says
He looks nothing like Freddie Mercury.
Jayell says
“He may indeed be as “British as anyone”….”
Absolutely. Any old Tom, Dick or Mohammed can be ‘British’ these days. It just means they’ve got a National Insurance number, a UK passport and they’re domiciled somewhere in the British Isles, and apart from that the ‘B’-word means absolutely nothing at all anymore. The unacceptable thing is when these characters try to misappropriate the terms ‘English’, ‘Welsh’, Scottish’ or ‘Irish’, which are definite terms of ethnicity and which denote a clearly definable cultural identity – as exemplified by all the spurious self-righteous indignation when John Cleese stated the blatantly obvious fact that London is no longer an ‘English’ city; if it was, it would probably still be a civilised place to live in!
Rufolino says
In Naples the other day someone asked me where I was from.
I said “I’m English”.
They laughed.
John Allan says
They were probably thinking of Gracie Fields.
Angemon says
Let him come back and give him a fair trial before hanging him for treason – assuming treason is still punishable by death in the UK…

Islamic State “Beatle” jihadi says he’s as “British as anyone,” begs to return
………………….
He was happy to murder people in ISIS–and now he wants to murder Britons.
mortimer says
Alexanda Kotey should be tried and sentenced for crimes against humanity. He should be tried and sentenced to death by hanging in Iraq or Syria.
TKF says
Why don’t the idiotic Brits just throw him a ticker tape parade and give him the key to the city.
John Allan says
Nothing idiotic about the Brits (British). The idiocy lies with the government – granted we elect its members.
John Allan says
‘With Britain today’? It’ll been this way for a very long time.
David Nieto says
I’m certain Sadiq Khan will gladly roll out the red carpet for his fellow co-religionist Jihadi (as opposed to denying U.S. President Trump a decent welcome to Londonistan).
somehistory says
“He’s a real nowhere” male, he should be sitting in jail, denied all manner of bail. He’s shown he has an evil point of view, trying to get to going free, but he isn’t a bit like you and me.
Use these words of his: ““Is there no other way to deal with these people?”…criminal that he is.
He wants to be treated as an innocent bystander who only wanted a “wife.” Were there no women in the U.K. who would have married him without his becoming a mass murderer and a torturer of other humans? Pity his poor little girls who have no choice as to who is their father.
