Boris Johnson has called on Russian scientists to defect to the UK

Mr Johnson said: "To the Russian scientists and researchers who are looking upon Putin's violence in dismay, and who no longer feel safe in Russia: you should feel free to apply to come to the UK and work in a country that values openness, freedom and the pursuit of knowledge.""But I remain utterly dedicated to ensuring a future in which, together, the Ukraine and the UK thrive.

"People across the UK have opened their hearts and their homes to support those fleeing violence in Ukraine, and our world-leading universities, research institutions and tech businesses are no different. "Science and technology will be decisive in ensuring Putin fails in Ukraine, and it will be crucial as we rebuild the Ukrainian economy.The plans announced include a major increase of funding for the "researchers at risk" scheme, putting in a further £9.8 million on top of the initial £3 million, which will see 130 academics come from Ukraine to continue their work.

The UK Government will also provide funding to support the Universities UK International and the Cormack Consultancy Group twinning programme between UK and Ukrainian academic institutions. The Department for International Trade will step up work under its global entrepreneur programme to offer temporary relocation and mentorship to Ukrainian science and tech business leaders forced out by the invasion.

What legal route they taken ?

A desperate PM

Is he from real, when they get there on conservative airways, Priti travel agency will tag them and it’s off to Rwanda 🤡🤡🤔

Via Rwanda

So they can be shipped to Rwanda

Worst prime minister in history spent years being chauffeured by the KGB in Russia. Probability states the Russians had dirt on him, as was their standard MO. Now he’s destroying the UK and now we’re getting Russian scientists over? We need to wake up and get him out now.

I assume if they do he will treat them as “illegal immigrants” and deport them to his Rwandan camps for ‘processing’

Not sure that people who leave their countries in these sort of circumstances like being called defectors.

You will get below inflation pay rises, very attractive!

so that they get sent to Rwanda?

They will be shipped to Rawanda 😂

Next he will be begging for the oligarchs back. Russian donations and all that.

As fruit pickers?
