British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced an unlimited immigration program just days after signing Blighty's agreement to withdraw from Europe.

The new “Global Talent” program comprises a fast-tracked visa aimed specifically at scientists. Johnson hopes the scheme will help the UK become a “superpower” when it comes to scientific discovery and knowledge. The goal is to “attract the world’s top scientists, researchers and mathematicians,” according to a press release. The program will start on February 20.
