The tactics being employed to persuade young Brits to get vaccinated against Covid are being ramped up, much to the joy of – and, at times, thanks to the work of – the Government. The latest effort comes from the University of Sussex, which is offering fully vaccinated students the chance to win a £5,000 prize. BBC News has the story.
All students are being entered into the draw, with 10 winners able to claim a £5,000 prize each, if they can prove they are double-jabbed or exempt. …
Professor Adam Tickell, the Vice-Chancellor at Sussex, said the prize raffle was worth it if the numbers being vaccinated could be boosted even slightly.
“We know take-up among young people is patchy,” he said. “We know they’re not against the vaccine, they’re just not getting round to it.”
He added the financial cost to the university of the scheme was small compared to the human and social cost of potential disruption to students.
“We know transmission rates are lower with vaccination, and the risk of serious illness for our staff and students is much lower in people who’ve been vaccinated.”
Vaccination remains voluntary for students, and there has been growing concern about the relatively low take-up by young adults. …
The university says its scheme is designed to provide an incentive for students to have both doses. …
Professor Tickell got the idea after hearing on a BBC programme that universities in the U.S. were offering incentives for vaccination. …
Universities Minister Michelle Donelan said: “Vaccines are the surest way to put Covid behind us and for students to reclaim the freedoms that enrich university life.
“The department is encouraging universities to look at creative ways to boost uptake, and to discuss the possibility of pop-up centres with local health partners – making it quick and easy for students to grab a jab.”

I thought the whole point of a farm was to provide food. If you’re not doing that you’re not a farm. Just concentrate on the day job and keep your tax exemption.
The Deagel 2025 population prediction for the UK in 2025 is 14 million. Therefore getting rid of 75% of farms and food figures I guess.. less mouths to feed..
64 million – not 14 million…
Well I always thought 14 was fourteen.. and that’s exactly what it says in the 2025 forecast. Read it again..
My apologies… You’re correct. There’s going to be a lot of work for undertakers in the next 2 years!
It could be a load of balony Gefion.. but Deagel wasn’t just some thrown together website.. they have links with the US Dept of Defence, the CIA etc, so not to be just dismissed.
The URL below links it with the Rockefeller Foundation too..

I imagine they didn’t factor in many, many migrants or are they involved in the projected drop in the population?
It can be hard now to know what to believe except that things aren’t going to get easier for the little people in the near future.
I had no idea farming wasn’t “low carbon”.
So wild plants help with climate change but cultivated ones that we can eat don’t. Interesting.
Meanwhile each year China and India add coal fired power plants equivalent to the UK total. Every single year.
Sorry, who exactly is buying thus bullshit?
About half the population at the moment. It is easier to join the dots on this, whereas Covid took a bit more effort to see. The more hysterical they get, the more ridiculous it all sounds. I think the Head of the UN has done us a tremendous favour by introducing ‘Global Boiling’…

There’s also good CO2 and bad CO2. Good CO2 is anything not created by humans burning coal, oil or gas (slightly simplified). Only bad CO2 causes global warming. That’s really a quite bizarre construction because fossil fuels are called fossil as they’re decomposed lifeforms, ie, whatever carbon happens to be in them was originally part of atmospheric CO2 which plants split into C and O2, releasing the latter back to the atmosphere and using the former to further their own growth. Putting this carbon back into the atmosphere as CO2 cannot cause some life on earth threatening catastrophe because it’s just restoring a earlier state of affairs where life already existed. Otherwhise, their would be no fossil fuel.

Restorative farming, rotation of crops and animals, grass fed livestock feeding the earth with their shit. Such are more and more farms, including one near to us that sells wonderful meat. Assessed as carbon neutral, the farmer told me. And to hear her on veggies and vegans an absolute delight 🙂
Note. You can raise livestock on land on which you cannot grow crops. Easy example – Welsh hill sheep farmers. Add to that that it is ARABLE farming that has laid waste to the countryside, tearing down hedges, poisoning the soil, killing birds, insects and animals on an epic scale around such farms.
So they go for meat. As a Carnivore, over my dead body.
That made me wonder whether it’s a deliberate, or an accidental tax increase.
Further to that, they will have to take professional advice as to the content of their Will, to reduce the risk of inheritance tax for their offspring. E.g. if the part liable to tax goes to a charity, it could be tax exempt.
But as Mr Ruggles-Brise indicated, that will lead to fragmentation of the estate.
As for the bullshit plans for re*-wilding, as john1T said above: Just concentrate on the day job [farming] and keep your tax exemption.
*What’s produced in re-wilding projects is not wild land. It’s park land and about as much of a carbon sink as any other managed rural area.
You have to hand it to these cretins. Reducing arable farmland whilst pushing up the cost of new homes via some invented ‘carbon credits system’. When the food shortages start, things are really going to kick off, it will make ULEZ look like a warm up.

The lie to

Completely off topic – this is horrifyingly dangerous. I’ve stopped taking any pharma drugs, don’t trust them. With this going through there will be even less scrutiny than there was.

I agree BB. This means the MHRA needs to be scrapped. Taxpayers are paying to be poisoned.
How about leave farmers to do what they do best and know about the most – grow food, so that we all don’t go hungry.
I presume the exemption applies to agriculturally productive land and exists in part as an incentive farmers to, er, farm, so we can, er, eat.
Modern green farmer – gimme money so I can not farm.
Is this is the UK’s brexit-version of the EU Soil Health laws that the Dutch famers have objected to? Has the 40% inheticance tax has been factored in to force farmers to have to sell some/part/all of their farms back to the state? I would wager that this controlled disposession is all part of the Agenda 2030, 15 minute city, centralised command and control envisaged by the WEF/UN/globalist supranational governance crowd.
We anticipate urgent action from the Chancellor, whoever it is this month. The government would not want to spoil its objective of destroying our food production in favour of growing weeds on otherwise productive land.
” Mr. Ruggles-Brise is part of a pilot scheme run by Natural England to create better habitats for wildlife and plant life to be sold as credits to developers to offset the impact of new homes.”
So the countryside will be plastered with little boxes to provide housing for the million+ immigrants the Not-a-Conservative-Party imported last year ….. and our ability to provide food for them will be reduced by a bureaucratic system intended to pretend that the countryside has been improved.
Pure genius from the Globalist “green” nutters.
The last thing we should be trying to do is achieve any of the Government’s long term environmental policies around Net zero. Every single one of them is completely unnecessary. Under the guise of “rewilding” whatever that is, they intend to restrict our food supply to the extent of rationing and banning of meat. They intend for us to have Carbon credits, restricting every aspect of our lives, pretending that the planet’s future depends on it. From controlling your heating, what you eat, where and how you may travel and what you can spend your money on, a dystopian nightmare is coming down the track for all of us. We must fight this communist Government, controlled by the WEF and Big Corporations.
Mr Ruggles Brise needs better advice.
0.04% of atmosphere is CO2.
Plants suffer when CO2 drops below 0.03%.
Only 0.4% of CO2 is man made.
Only 1% of that comes from the UK.
China, India, S America, Africa, Japan and the Far East aren’t playing the carbon zero game.
There’s been no appreciable warming, no rise in sea levels during my lifetime.
Stick to driving a tractor and producing food.
