There were no celebrations among the passengers as the clock struck midnight on one of the last ferries to leave the European mainland and make the 42-kilometre (26-mile) journey across the English Channel pre-Brexit. "It's very depressing what's happening today," said Alessio Bortone, an Italian who has lived in Britain for 10 years. Having lived and worked in the UK for a decade, and owning a house there, he says he now has to apply for a residence permit, and his wife is seeking Italian citizenship in order to have a European passport.
