Brexit allows Britain to get back on its own feet: Ringo Starr

Former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr has praised Britain's decision to leave the European Union, saying Brexit will allow the UK to get back on its "own feet".
The 75-year-old musician said he was a "huge fan" of the EU when it started but claimed it had failed to turn into a "love fest," reported Daily Mirror.
Reacting to the referendum result, Starr said, "I think it's good. Get back on our own feet. I was a huge fan when the EU started. I've lived all over Europe so I thought 'how great'. But it never really got together, I didn't think."

"Maybe in a business way it got together but everyone kept their own flags... It didn't really turn into a love fest," he said.
Starr, who lives in Los Angeles, is just one of a host of celebrities to come out in support of Britain ditching Brussels.
