'bloody boffins?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'soho stag meal it's arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates an anagram (letters rearranged).
'soho'+'stag'+'meal'+'it'='sohostagmealit'
'sohostagmealit' anagrammed gives 'HAEMATOLOGISTS'.

'for' acts as a link.
