Scientists for Britain

Part of the Powerbase Brexit Portal.

Scientists for Britain is a pro-Brexit lobby group created in early 2016 to, in its own words, 'provide a platform for those on the ‘leave’ side of the referendum debate, to counter some of the emotive language and misinformation being used to portray UK Science as extremely dependent on the political structures of the EU.'
