Anarchy in port the conclusion of Brexit? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

riot

'anarchy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'port the conclusion of brexit?' is the wordplay.
'port' becomes 'rio' (Rio de Janeiro is a port).
'the conclusion of' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'brexit' is 't'.
'rio'+'t'='RIOT'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for riot that I've seen before include "Crowd violence" , "Uprising" , "Wild disturbance by crowd of people" , "Take to the streets" , "Civil unrest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
