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 term brain drain refers to losing educated people to another country so there is not a brain being drained from an individual but rather a bunch of brains being drained from a population. Here's a wikipedia page for the curious minds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_capital_flight

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.
