Another data point: We are not alone in this. Two other families in our neighbourhood are leaving the UK as well. In both cases their decisions were strongly influenced by increased racial harassment following the Brexit vote. Admittedly, this is...
Commented on That sinking feeling

Bill Arnold commented on That sinking feeling
I don't know who did this (mit url), but the "Active Summoning Curve" yellow warning triangle is nice. http://web.mit.edu/~ternus/Public/Public_old/laundry.pdf Demetria's list, oh my.
