To mark the anniversary of ‘Brexit’, the 29 March 2017 when Britain delivered a signed letter to the president of the European Council in Brussels confirming Britain wanted to formally leave the European Union, I'm releasing the last 100 copies of The Brexshit Times.

An anti-celebration of the UK's exit from the EU, the zine is printed on salmon-colored newsprint, and features hyper-zoomed in, scanned images of the three Conservative Prime Ministers who held office over the course of the Brexit process. These images are juxtaposed against a selection of text extracted from The Brexit Lexicon (2016-2020), a unique compendium of the most common terms that have shaped the discussions of Brexit in both politics and the media.

The Brexit process dominated Britain’s news agenda between 2016 and 2020, and one notable language trend during this period has been the creation of new terms using the letters ‘Brex-’ as a prefix. Examples include the word ‘Brexiety’ (the feeling of unease over Britain’s uncertain political future), ‘Brextremist’ (someone with extreme views about Brexit), and ‘Brexodus’ (mass emigration as a result of Brexit).
