British citizens devastated by the EU referendum result are leaving the UK to seek a new life abroad as statistics reveal rising emigration, The Independent reported.

Following a report on the European citizens fleeing Britain in what is being dubbed a “Brexodus”, The Independent has been inundated with messages from Brits saying they are doing the same.

Cliff James, 44, describes himself as a “Brexile” after upping sticks in October last year and travelling to countries including India, Nepal, Australia, France, Israel and parts of South America.
