As politicians scratch their heads, voters tell THEM what Brexit really means… and they don’t hold back [TWEETS]
In the absence of Britain’s political and media establishment having the foggiest clue about what Brexit really means for the country, some bright sparks on Twitter have been coming up with their own definitions – and they are rather brilliant.
Whatever your position on the rights or wrongs of 2016’s EU referendum and its result, you’d have to be in a minority of one to feel that this process has been managed at all well through any stage.

For some, it feels like a tragic end to an almost comically stupid turf war within the Conservative Party.

#BrexitReallyMeans The Conservative Party is still at war with itself.
So that worked, then.

For others, the focus was on what Brexit really means in hard and fast consequences for people living in Britain.

And some people seemed to be feeling the effects of Brexit-related stress already.

As Britain steps ever closer to the great unknown of Brexit, clarity doesn’t look like it will show up any time soon. But hey, at least we still have the great British sense of humour to help us along, eh? *cough.

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.
