Oxfordshire County Council adopts climate lock ‘test to start in 2024’
Oxfordshire County Council yesterday approved a plan to lock residents into one of six zones to ‘save the planet’ from global warming. The latest phase in the ’15 minutes city’ agenda is to place electronic gates on major roads in and out of the city, limiting residents to their immediate vicinity.
Under the new plan, if residents want to leave their area, they will need permission from the Council, who will decide who deserves to be free and who doesn’t. Under the new scheme, residents will be allowed to leave their area for up to 100 days per year, but to achieve this, every resident will have to register their vehicle details with the council, who then will track their movements through smart cameras around the area. city.
Communism will make the weather better.
Oxfordshire County Council, run by Labor, the Liberal Democrats and the Greens, secretly decided to split the city of Oxford into six ’15 minute’ boroughs in 2021 shortly after they were elected to office. Of course, none of the councilors stated their intention to imprison local residents in their manifesto, preferring instead to make vague statements about how they would ‘improve the environment. ‘.
Every resident will be required to register their vehicle with the County Council, who will then track the number of times they leave their county through a license plate recognition camera. And don’t think you can beat the system if you’re a household with two cars. Those two cars will be counted as one which means you will have to split the journey. 2 cars each with 50 journeys; 3 cars each 33 journeys and so on.

This story is crazy, I want to attest. Here is the same story published in the Oxford Mail;
Traffic filter will divide the city into six “15-minute” neighborhoods, highway commissioner agrees

Congested roads make it impossible for most motorists to drive through Oxford downtown will divide the city into six “15-minute” neighborhoods, a county council tourism director said.
And he insists the controversial plan will proceed whether people like it or not.
Duncan Enright, Oxfordshire district The Council’s cabinet member on tourism and development strategy, explained the administration’s proposals for a traffic filter in an interview in The Sunday Times.
He said the filters would turn Oxford into “a 15-minute city” with local services within a small walking radius.

People are free to drive around their neighborhood and can apply for a permit to drive through filters and into other neighborhoods for up to 100 days per year. This equates to an average of two days per week.

Oxfordshire is home to University of Oxfordone of the UK’s leading learning institutions.
Communist countries like the Soviet Union and China seem to love internal passport and movement restrictions. Britain has been moving closer to naked communism for at least half a century in my opinion, so I guess some sort of attempt will be made at some point. to introduce Chinese-style movement restrictions on British people. In my opinion, the climate claims are just an excuse, an attempt to deflect criticism of their authoritarianism.
I would very much like to write that the University of Oxford is ready, that Oxford scholars are outraged at the attempt to limit people’s freedom, but so far I have not discovered a single statement of its outrage. public from university scholars.
For nearly a thousand years, Oxford University has stood as a beacon of intellectual freedom. Some of Oxford’s leading intellectuals have been hanged or persecuted over the centuries because of their resistance to authoritarianism.. So it seems downright sad that the heirs of that proud tradition seem willing to turn away from the freedoms that their predecessors sometimes gave their lives to protect.
