Is Brexit driving you round the bend? Take our test

It’s the national crisis it is impossible to get away from! Especially on social media. Even on Christmas day there will probably be people tweeting about the backstop. But how much Brexit is too much Brexit? Take the handy Reaction test to find out if you need to calm down.

1. Have you started to dream about Brexit? Answer Yes/No.

If you answered No to question 2 go straight to question 5, if not answer questions 3 and 4.

3. Have you been using Brexit hashtags in your Twitter ID – such as #FBPE, #Standup4Brexit, #CambridgeAnalyticaStoleMyCamel – and then shouting at strangers in the street? Answer Yes/No.

4. Are you taking your own views too seriously? That is do you think your opinions represent some pure continuum constituting inherent truth and that everyone in the country should be aware that you have been right all along? Answer Yes/No.

8. Have you published a no deal Brexit plan featuring your own drawings? Answer Yes/Thinking about it/No.

9. Do you own a pro-EU beret or any other form of Brexit-related clothing? Answer Yes/No.
