LONDON - A few months after Britain voted to leave the European Union, Maria was waiting to see a doctor at a London hospital when an elderly English woman told her to go back to her native Romania.
Maria was stunned. Until that moment, she had never faced direct abuse over her nationality in her 10 years in the country. “After Brexit we could all feel the obvious feeling that we are not wanted here,” Maria said. “I don’t want my kids to grow up in this sort of environment.” In the year to the end of June last year, 145,000 EU nationals quit Britain, an 18 percent increase on the previous year, while the number of people arriving has slowed.
They say they find themselves accused of stealing jobs from Britons and driving down wages, even though unemployment is at a four-decade low, or of overburdening health services. They share with their elder daughter a large double bed which takes up most of the flat. There is a small table in the corner of the room where they eat their meals.
