The Who’s Roger Daltrey hails Brexit and SLAMS Labour as new solo album is released
THE WHO star Roger Daltrey has revealed why he’s pro-Brexit and lashed out at the Labour Party - as his new solo album As Long As I Have You is released.
The 74-year-old rock legend isn’t afraid to speak his mind when it comes to politics.
Speaking with The Telegraph he clarified why he’s pro-Brexit, claiming it’s not about being anti-Europe.
Daltrey said: “I’m not anti-Europe, I’m anti-Brussels, but people don’t get the distinction
“That’s why I’m so angry about it. I want someone at least answerable to me that I can say ‘f*** off, you’re useless!’”

Daltrey, who supports the Conservative Party, also revealed why he doesn’t have faith in Labour.
The singer said: It pains me to say it, but in my life a Labour government comes in with incredible optimism and leaves the country in the s***.
“I shouldn’t go into this, I’m digging a hole for myself.”
Speaking with Event magazine, Daltrey lashed out at Corbyn for not being honest with voters.
He said: “Jeremy Corbyn is not a socialist. He’s a communist.”
“Be honest about that and see how many votes you get, Jeremy, because otherwise, you’re going to be moving in to Downing Street under a false premise.”
He also spoke of Brexit then too claiming he’s not anti-EU, but not the undemocratic nature of Brussels’ rule.

He added: “What I’m against is Brussels, not the EU.
“I can’t live with that because we lost people in my family fighting for our right to be democratic.”
