Why maybe I have chance? “I have no Nobel price, but let me tell you about myself …” Maybe you get it by default as being the only applicant.
Everyone is using the alternative, and easier, method of getting a visa.
Bit of a none story really beyond being a PR own goal
Peak guardian 😂
There some ludicrous soundbites in that article.
“Chances that a single Nobel or Turing laureate would move to the UK to work are zero for the next decade or so,” and “scientific positions in the UK are both rare and precarious.” We are a world leader in scientific research with some of the top universities in the world. There are other routes available, which the article mentions thousands of people taking advantage of.
Absolutely huge exaggerations, some politicking right there. Would have expected more from award winning academics.
Nobel price winners are not moving anywhere. They are older scientist who are retired when the recieve the prize or who have estabilished their lab equipment and group and have no need to move somewhere else.
For example, from the group of the physics prize recipients since 2011, only four are younger than sixty. Four out of 32 people.
Do they need to be able to drive a lorry?
This is like Macron’s attempt to get American scientists after Trump’s election.
Another worthless opinion piece from the Grauniad.
> “Chances that a single Nobel or Turing laureate would move to the UK to work are zero for the next decade or so,” the Nobel prize winner Andre Geim told New Scientist magazine, which first reported the news.
And yet he’s here….
And it seems that those who do hiring and firing don’t agree with him….
> Andrew Clark at the Royal Academy of Engineering says his organisation is happy with the number of applications they have seen recently across all immigration routes for foreign scientists. “In many cases applicants would be eligible for multiple routes,” he says. “We wouldn’t want to focus on the use of any particular route over a six-month period, but rather the overall success.”
Brexit benefits.
When the Brightest and the Best can go work practically anywhere, and all you can offer them is world beating inflation, shortages, resentment – and for academics, a disconnect from the funding the rest of Europe can get – they will go anywhere else.
No problems . Oxford university is getting fund’s thanks to the vaccine
Good
Did they plan to have Nobel prize winners driving trucks?
I spent a period working for a recruitment company that specialises in IT, highly skilled people don’t have problems getting visas, lol!
I would say it takes roughly two weeks to get news and then you can fly them in. These guys maybe have just five years experience in a particular field, that’s all, in you come. If I had a Nobel prize winner, my company director would’ve have handled it , it’s nearly ceremonial!
This is pure headline grabbing by Johnson’s government, let the plebs think we’re doing something games.

Plan B:
If you fail to lure them into the UK, kidnap them
