If Ringo Starr thought politicians were dawdling about Brexit back in 2017, think how frustrated he must be now as the effort to liberate Britain from the European Union drags on and on.

It was two years ago that the one-time drummer for the popular and well-regarded band known as The Beatles gave an interview to a TV program called BBC Newsnight. A clip from that show recently turned up online. It consists of Ringo expressing his support for Brexit. It includes this concise bit of political philosophy: “I think it’s a great move. I think, you know, to be in control of your own country is a good move.”
