I'm growing in my garden so its unsightly but necessary as there are billions of whites laying all over the odd leaf that escapes my fleece.  When do they die and I peel back the netting?

You have to wait for the frosts to kill them.

And then pray you have no pigeons.

  or hoards of sparrers, which can do as much damage but look prettier 

[Ian_A]

ie) remove the netting at your peril

The answer is --

Take off the netting when you are going to harvest the brassicas

And then replace it over the remaining ones.... 

We have a robin who loves brassicas, but gets forgiven as eats many pest too!
