I think some people are guessing, as there's no stipulation that such people must leave, either before or after Brexit.

If they choose to go, so be it. But nothing much has changed as yet.

There will be benefits and costs of folks leaving. For instance, there's a housing shortage in the UK because immigration has been too swift to cope with the numbers.

For a paper of substance to just play the emotion card is a bit weak. It's maybe sad for that lady that she has made the decision she has. But it isn't really news. Nor is it sad that immigration is sometimes negative. For instance, that reduces the need for nurses.

Ms. Pardela does not want to leave the country she came to over a decade ago. But that country no longer exists. On June 24 last year, she said, “We all woke up in a different country.”

Seventeen months after Britain voted to leave the European Union, many Europeans are voting to leave Britain — with their feet. Some 122,000 of them packed their bags in the year through March, according to the latest figures available, while the stream of new arrivals has slowed.
