Well, I am quite sad that it has been impossible to travel to the UK for months because of the virus. But it seems many of the people living there are happy to leave their country for Europe. The Guardian reports that the UK has seen an exodus of its citizens since Brexit.

Jonathan Coe‘s novel “Middle England” ends with the emigration of its main character to the South of France. But that’s not just fiction, it seems to be true.

The number of British nationals emigrating to other EU countries has risen by 30% since the Brexit referendum, to a level akin to a country experiencing “economic or political crisis”, experts have found.
