Just Stop Oil funder Dale Vince is pressing ahead with plans to flood British primary schools with environmental and Net Zero societal propaganda. Children aged 11 and under are being taught that they face an unprecedented global climate emergency, with the possibility that the planet is entering a sixth mass extinction. The solution of course is “sustainability” and green energy, a matter that is dear to the heart of multi-millionaire Vince. His ageing onshore wind farm company Ecotricity has collected £110 million in green taxpayer subsidies over the last 20 years, at a time when he has pocketed at least £43 million in various corporate payments.
The Ministry of Eco Education (MEE) was started by Vince in 2021 with the stated aim of “greening up the curriculum”. From an initial base of 15 ‘pioneer’ schools, it is working to scale this up to 1,000. MEE operates by inserting its messaging into all aspects of primary learning including transport, energy, food, nature and society. It aims to “save teachers time”, and it claims to have “rearranged the national curriculum” around what it describes as big questions. MEE also claims to be working with secondary schools to adapt its primary approach to Key Stage 3.
Although few lesson examples are available on the MEE website, it is easy to piece together some of the ideas being taught. A lesson on veganism notes that industrial farming has negative impacts on the planet, but apparently “isn’t just about food”. Most of the sources quoted are little more than promotions for veganism with a link to a Guardian article explaining why vegans don’t eat honey. There does not appear to be any discussion about the wisdom of removing all types of animal protein from the diets of very young children, something that many scientists think should be done only under strict nutritional supervision.
The education leader of MEE is Paul Turner and a video is supplied of him talking to a group of young children in the Ecotricity tent at the Womad festival. Bouncing around a giant globe, he explains that the correct level of carbon dioxide in the planet is the ‘magic’ number of 360 parts per million (ppm). Quite how he is able to point to such a precise – if magical – figure to stop the climate changing is not explained. There are many eminent scientists who think it is a little on the low side for animal and plant life to prosper. Certainly, the children are not told the dinosaurs lived in a world of plant plenty at a time when CO2 levels were much higher. Turner, who is described by MEE as a “radical geographer”, tells the children that we need to “hoover” up all the gas, and on this front Dale is making a contribution.
In fact the current level of CO2 is around 420 ppm and recent increases are believed to have led to a dramatic 14% greening of the planet. Hoover up all this extra CO2 and veganism starts to seem an ‘unsustainable’ option. Remove nitrogen fertiliser from agriculture as many eco-extremists want and the consequent massive reduction in crop yields starts to look like mass famine.
But then it isn’t just about the planet is it? In a paper published by MEE titled ‘Foundations for an Eco Curriculum’, it is said that “we are increasingly recognising that any efforts to tackle climate and ecological emergency must also respond to the structural inequalities inherent in society”. Furthermore, “any eco school curriculum must explore ideas of social structures and processes as much as they do the natural environment, as well as exploring the intersection of ideas such as gender, race and inequality. From a young age, children are aware of injustice and can apply ideas of fairness and the environment.”
In other words, children can be caught young and brainwashed with horrific, largely unsubstantiated tales of climate and ecological collapse – a process they have no intellectual ability to question – and be marched towards a collectivist society where ruling elites remove many personal freedoms and lifestyle choices. Oh, and energy can be provided by useless windmills requiring enormous public subsidies by enlightened philanthropists such as Mr. D. Vince.
Needless to say, MEE is not the only green educational propogandist operating in the U.K. As the Daily Sceptic reported earlier this year, other elite money is pouring into British schools. London-based Climate Science aims to supply free teaching materials, with children encouraged to plot implausible temperatures rises of 11°C, taught that alkaline oceans are ‘acidic’ and write letters to policymakers claiming “our house is on fire” in the style of Greta Thunberg. Among the billionaire backers are Schmidt Futures – the family foundation of former Google boss Eric Schmidt – and the Grantham Institute at Imperial, partly funded by green billionaire investor Jeremy Grantham.
MEE is also involved with the Young Green Briton Challenge, which has also attracted the ambassadorial support of TV activist Chris Packham. The new scheme operates on a Dragons’s Den format with 16 schools competing to win a £1,000 stake for a green project. Recently, Packham gave his backing to eco-protesters breaking the law and suggested that a “radical flank” could attempt to blow up oil refineries. For his part, Vince has given hundreds of thousands of pounds to Just Stop Oil, a group that engages in civil disobedience and criminal damage.
What a fine example these men set for the youth of today.

Well, for a while we were. Thankfully not any more – for now.

A long way still to do, but we’ve come a long way since the darkest days.
Vaccinazis, none of the idiots can name or spell 3 ingredients nor describe what mRNA is or how it works….talk about a cult of ignorance and stupid, not to mention corruption and fraud.
The summing up by the woman in pink at the end (a health minister?) had me aghast and not a little worried about medical and political capture.
Any old carp issuing from the lips of a doctor counts as medical advice, it seems, and should be taken as gospel: especially by ministers.
And they accuse US of imparting misinformation!
While her summing up was depressing as a whole, I thought there was one chink of light when she said the JCVI would be reviewing at their next meeting whether the recommendation to ‘vaccinate’ children would continue.
The fact that an initial recommendation to give these poisons to children condemns them all in my opinion.
No ifs. No buts. No exceptions. All guilty.
Absolutely. You really don’t have to have any particular expertise to see that giving an ineffective ‘vaccine’ to a person at vanishingly low risk from a disease is medially and ethically wrong.
It’s quite a spectacle watching politicians and bureaucrats of the state struggling to catch up to where the population already are. We know the jabs don’t work and that they’re dangerous.
It does nothing for their credibility to resist those facts, which of course is fine by me. The less credibility they have the better. If there is one thing sorely needed these days is a healthy lack of respect for authority.
Yes, it’s amazing how far behind most politicians are in their understanding. The opening speech by Elliot Colburn was quite nauseating in its ignorance and arrogance.
Even the MPs questioning the stabs are way off the mark in how bad things are, and are about to become.
It is difficult getting people to understand something when they consider their political careers depend on not understanding.
Convenient that the MSM had other matters to concentrate on when the debate took place (sarc).

Kathy Gyngell over at TCW provides an initial write-up. As she makes clear, she was the only member of the press in attendance. What does that say about MSM?
Furthermore, the only MP’s in attendance were ‘Conservatives,’ no MP from any other party. That alone confirms how ‘safe and effective’ our grifting parliamentarians are and what we can expect in the future.
I’m no fan of the Tories as I am apparently “far right”, but you have to recognise that the resistance to covid madness has come from Tory right. The same is largely true in the US.
Important point regarding only political resistance as coming from the Conservative Party – similarly, to a very large extent, in the vote to mandate the stabs for NHS staff.
Actually, there. were a couple of Labour MPs and an SNP MP who spoke on Monday, but frustrating boilerplate stuff regurgitating vaccine propaganda.
Some from the DUP too I should say. Almost zero from the left, apart from towards the end. It started with Swayne and a tiny number of others from the libertarian wing.
There is no Tory Right. It doesn’t exist. They are faux Right playing a vital role in keeping the credulous Centre Right vote onside for electoral purposes. The so called Tory Right have achieved little in holding back the agenda of the continuity Labour Party Tories over the last 12 years. The Party is rotten to its very core.
I would in general agree. I suppose you could call it right in relation to the mainstream of the parliamentary party.
Kathy Gyngell’s take on the debate.

I haven’t seen a vaccine complication for over an hour.
Double pulmonary embolism within days of second vaccination.
Even the hospital told her it was the likely cause.
I don’t think they’re in denial at all. They know perfectly well what is going on ( how can they not? ) and after almost 2 years since the beginning of the mass jabathon they can absolutely not plead ignorance. Because they know the score full well and are choosing to look the other way they are all complicit sociopaths who have blood on their hands and their decision just backs up what we here have known for some time now, that this is an agenda whereby one of the aims is to intentionally harm as many people as possible, even the unborn. This no longer sounds far-fetched because, if it wasn’t so, then just one look at the adverse reporting systems, which have steadily been reporting more and more deaths and injuries for these products alone since the outset, would ensure that these injectables were stopped many months ago. Previous legit vaccines ( by the true definition of the word ) and other medications would have been taken off the market with but a fraction of the deaths/adverse events, but these ones? These are clearly deemed worthy of *special* treatment. So to say that they won’t even bother to investigate, what does that tell the public? It screams that they will not investigate because to do so would unearth evidence of their guilt of malfeasance and show them up to be the criminals that they are. Well I can see the up-take of further jabs plummeting even further off the back of this decision to be honest.
In the big Vioxx scandal Merck finally took it off the market 5 years after it was launched, but 88,000 people had to have heart attacks first and 38,000 of them died, and that’s just an estimate. What are we up to now with these clot shots in a fraction of the time? And bear in mind that Vioxx didn’t have half the myriad of other adverse effects ( such as the significant increase in miscarriages and stillbirths ) that these novel products do. If anybody can’t believe that this isn’t willful harm and our governments are out to cause us damage then they need their heads read.
https://www.openvaers.com/covid-data
And if you watch this 5min video of Dr James Thorp presenting slides which show, among other things, a 40+ sigma increase in stillbirths ( even worse in Canada ), nobody can possibly disagree that our governments are out to intentionally harm us. No such thing as ignorance at this late stage in the game.

I will have to be careful of my wording.
If these poisonous injections were stopped now on the basis of the deaths and harms they are causing and have caused, those responsible for pushing them beyond an easily determined cut-off date could, if plaintiffs came forward with a case, be facing court and minimum charges of mass murder. Most, if not all those responsible for the continuing carnage are still on the payroll of taxpayers. I do not need to insult the intelligence of DS readers by identifying specific areas of employment.
Refusing to halt the injection campaign amply reinforces the guilt of all those involved.
It’s the equivalent of walking past somebody being assaulted and not doing a thing about it. If you don’t, at a bare minimum, attempt to sound the alarm and help the victim then you are basically as guilty as the perpetrator. And this is what we are seeing here. You can’t look the other way when you are aware of people ( masses of people in this case! ) being harmed and killed then tell yourself you’re innocent, just a cog in some big-ass machinery. These MPs all have clout, but they’d have even more clout if they stood up and spoke out as a collective. As long as they are closing ranks and allowing more and more people, including unborn babies, to be killed and injured by the very products they’ve spent best part of 2 years bullying and terrifying people into getting injected with then they may as well have killed/hurt those people with their very own hands. They are complicit therefore they’re guilty as sin. They are allowing the abuse to continue and as a result more people will die and become seriously injured. They are sick AF!
Great post Mogs.
“Of course there are lunatics out there who make absurd and outrageous claims, but there are many reasonable and respectable people who have anxieties about the vaccine programme”
Hell, we are not trying to prove the existence of aliens here. The hard evidence for the ineffectiveness and danger of the jabs is out there in abundance for all to see. The problem isn’t lack of good evidence it’s wilful blindness by politicians who simply refuse to look at it. I suspect that as the the evidence increasingly gets into the public domain the deeper the politicians will have to shove their own heads into the sand.
“Hell, we are not trying to prove the existence of aliens here...”
Love it.

Interesting article looking at the deaths and injuries caused by these Covid shots compared with all other vaccines.
“This is a vaccine cult and has nothing to do with science or facts”. Given the refusal to even investigate the deaths and harms, let alone acknowledge any damage the products might be doing, these MPs are behaving exactly like a cult. But I’m sure they’ll expect us to believe that it’s all in our own best interests though, so that’s alright then! More deaths by these injections in less than 2 years than all other vaccines in the last 3 decades…but nothing to see here clearly. Keep repeating “safe and effective”, I mean, every cult needs a mantra.

There’s no denial.
They’re simply in thrall to the MSM/bigpharma and their own ambitions
Never forget.
How many of the bastards even bothered to attend.
Massive thanks to the paltry few who did.
They will be remembered.
At least it’s a start, maybe.
The way vaccine supporters have thwarted any “vaccine hesitancy” movement is to recruit influential partnerships with key organizations which vouch for the vaccines. In America, Pfizer has just “partnered” with the Southeastern Conference sports league to advance this objective.
The SEC is the premiere college sports league in the States. It is an association of 14 extremely popular universities (like the Universities of Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt and Auburn.)
Still, it doesn’t seem the SEC is eager to publicize the fact it is now partners with this drug company. My prediction is this partnership could end badly for the 14 schools that make up the SEC.

I and millions like me have given up on mandates from under-qualified MP”s. As for our our laughable police force. Just cry rascist like our commonwealth friends and they tend to shuffle away.
There seems to have been mention of the debate on Sky news (the link was in News Roundup in yesterday’s DS email):
https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-inquiry-focusing-solely-on-safety-of-vaccines-will-not-be-opened-govt-says-12729605
They’re in denial not because they don’t understand. They now understand that their original, hysterical reactions led them to effectively ignore the usual pre-launch safety studies and provide immunity to the manufacturers.
So politicians are in the firing line for poisoning and killing people and they don’t like that, not one little bit.
“This is really important, and if we do not get it right, no one will believe us, and trust in politicians, in medicine and in our medical system will be lost.” Said Andrew Bridgen.
Too late, Mr Bridgen. That happened some time ago.
Correct. I will never believe a word the Public Health Bureaucrats/Government Ministers or an employee of the NHS says on the subject of vaccines ever again.
I am so pissed off the MSM continue not to report on this, we have had months of high non Covid excess deaths, and now we have silence around this debate. I am cancelling my Telegraph subscription because how can they be trusted when they completely ignore such a big story as this and therefore fail to bring this to the attention of the masses.
The DT is just another propaganda outlet for the government. We cancelled our subscription some time ago.
And in reply: “Move along, nothing to see here. Get your jab; safe and effective; don’t you dare question the official “$cience.”
“A lot of people are asking what the vaccine does to children and young people, and Professor Whitty is right that the benefit to healthy children seems to be essentially nil.”Danny Kruger.
Of course the answer is Big Pharma gets indemnity for any vaccine adverse effects if they are approved for use on Children.
This is an example of how corrupt our medical fraternity has become.
The fact Pfizer tried to bury the results of their tests for 70 years should alert anyone with a brain cell that they were hiding something!
