    I read the entire article trying to find out what the author meant with the title, still don’t know who’s brain is implied to be drained in the scenario.

        The way it’s written almost could be interpreted that Britain will be drained of intellect by the increased number of Americans. I’m familiar with the term, but the way this headline is written makes it weird.

          Britain wouldn’t be drained, but their intellectual demographic will be diluted, creating more competition for high level research, tech, teaching, etc. positions.
