This is like the holocaust equivalent of trying to explain someone else’s joke. It’s not understated, everybody else got it. If I had to point out what’s understated or lost by many, the author is not comparing this to the holocaust (obviously Brexit is nowhere on the same level). They’re drawing comparison to one of the central narratives of the Jewish Diaspora where Jews periodically have to relocate to get away from declining or unfavorable regimes. But they also recognize that since they were secular and seemingly fully assimilated as a Brit, it’s a little different (which is also a common facet of the Diaspora especially in secular Western countries)
