You will always have white fly on brassicas..unless you are willing to use chemicals..just leave them be..usually they don't cause any major problems.
You can try washing them down..maybe a spray with soapy water and rinse with water..
I just leave them be.

Don't use Fairy liquid though, it's got a lot of salt in apparently.... I'd go with Ecover or track down some proper soft soap...
