This is one of those stories that you’re certain is from the Babylon Bee, and that is stunning in its implications when it turns out to be the truth. In this case, the truth is that, in accordance with UN and WEF climate recommendations, the city of Oxford (home to the famed university) approved plans mandating that citizens may not drive more than 15 minutes distance from their homes without permission. It’s called the “15 Minute City” and is intended to reduce auto emissions. Mostly, though, it will reduce liberty, which is what climate change madness has always been about.

100% guaranteed that the people who want to invoke this, it won't apply to them.

When the people didn’t fight back on the ‘ 2 week lockdown ‘ to stop covid I mentioned the governments of the world will only take more and more control of their lives until they refuse arbitrary mandates.

This isn't governing.
The City of Oxford does not have a government. It has a tyranny.

Control your food, energy, movement. They are tightening the noose around your neck. They are coming for your ability to control your own money, future, health. Yes, they really do want you living in a cold, dark hell hole eating maggots. Only a matter of time before they say no private transportation. This is the ultimate house arrest. Next will come shock collars. Get anywhere near your "neighborhood gate/fence" and they will make you sorry. All the essentials THEY want you to have, what THEY think you need will be provided. You will have no choices. This is f - ing insane and exactly what they have been aiming for. Lock and load America.

This is crazy, permission to drive anywhere is rediculous. This country is no longer land of the free, it is the land of the government forceing itself on every aspect of our lives, we don't have to worry about China and Russia, we better start worrying about our own government and those who want to control every breath we take. The tryranical Biden administration was just the start, and the farcical J 6 crap and and still persecuting Trump. There needs to be a revolution, the people of this country against our own government. FJB F the Dem party.

Was relieved to learn a third of the way through the article that this is at least happening in England and that "the famed university" is not the one in Oxford, Mississippi. Whew!

The two looming tyrannical things facing us are the Dems now control the vote fraud and the push for digital currency. Post something on FB that you think the Wuhan Flu vaccines are useless and dangerous and find your account locked. I see an opportunity coming for secure, ethical off shore accounts. Klaus Schwab is now the most dangerous man in the world at this point. We need a James Bond to step up and do his 007 stuff.

I'm convinced it's what's ultimately behind the big push for self-driving cars. The government will be able to severely limit where a vehicle is allowed to go, your car literally won't drive into certain areas. The elite, of course, will have all-region access; the rest of us will have access only to certain zones, based on "social credit" scores, and our vehicles will only take us to those areas. The good little party members and wokesters who do exactly what they are told may even be allowed to drive to a beach once a year on an assigned day, while WEF approved elite will frolic in the nearly deserted Caribbean and ski the Swiss Alps without having to see a single peasant.

Look for real estate in Oxford to go on the market cheap - no one with any sense will want to remain there.

This is in conjunction with the proposed bans on driving vehicles into certain areas of London without the needed permit. The UK is getting on shaky ground right now. OTOH, these bans could be cover for the fuel shortages that are coming.

Sounds like The Hunger Games without the games, yet! Once the elites get bored, watch out. Hone your survival skills because they are going to need participants to entertain them.

There is no longer a detectable difference between China and the UK with regard to personal freedom. Same goes for their red-headed stepchild Canada. What would Maggie Thatcher say?

My first thought too, #11. Then what will the city do when their tax base is gone and all that is left are the woke students and faculty at the university?

#11, their are plenty of people with no sense that will gladly live under tyranny. It's the majority of the democrat/socialist party and they are alive and well all around the world.
In the article it has a quote from the late Great Rush Limbaugh, and he was right 30 years ago... I miss Rush so much, its heartbreaking...

Looks like what they are saying is that, yes, as a matter of fact, people are going to have to overthrow them in order to remain free. By any means necessary.

The overall plan is to keep citizens corralled in population centers, they are muck easier to control that way. Look at NYC for example. Petty politicians and bureaucrats can enact any restrictive laws they desire, and it takes years to untangle the webs they weave.

"Oxford residents" would be mostly professors and employees of the university so the people making these draconian laws would be the communists selected from that group to run the city. Billy Jeff Clinton had his communist indictrination there so it goes way back. Dig deeper and you will find that the higher level communists will have "Special Passes" to go where they please when they please. Educated stooges can be found anywhere.

If global warming is real and as urgent as they say then all energy should be rationed and people like bidet should refuse to burn 100,000s of pounds of jet fuel just to indulge himself in a “change of climate.”
Having watched the hypocrisy of global warming since the Kyoto protocols in the early 1990s, i know nobody has ever done anything about the alleged problem. Energy use and co2 emissions have constantly grown. The elites fly private more than ever. In this sense greta thunderbum is right: how dare you!!
It sounds like she’s been elected emporette of oxford.
I wonder if the 15 minutes adjusts for traffic conditions and weather. Is it ok to drive fast as hell for your “15 minutes of travel” a la andrew h warhole.

Imagine if we imposed these kind of restrictions on illegal migrants wanting to enter the US. Unless your home is within 15 minutes of the US border - nada for you.

Pilot program.
In ten years, it will be global.
Their ultimate goal is that those peasants allowed to survive will have sleeping pods within walking distance of their assigned work area, and stop off at the corporate or government cafeteria on your way to and from work, for your meals (primarily of bugs and GMO veggies, with an occasional bit of lab grown 'meat' for an occasional treat.).

Another reason to hold tight to your guns...as the lady from the Netherlands said...America is safe because the ruling elite cannot get our guns...there are an estimate 400,000,000 million guns in the US...and WE are not going to give them up so the UN and Europe can roll over US...Never....

Before criticizing the Brits, look to our own nonsensical policy makers who are summoning millions of foreigners into our country, free to go wherever they wish, while at the same time, installing climate (people control) policies intended to restrict the movement of people and commerce, using the coercive power of centralized government. Our citizens have the ability to put such asinine policy makers to the sword, but they don't. It appears that by the time the citizenry realizes its do or die time, such citizens will no longer have the means to rebel and re-install the sanity of our once model government, one that works for a free people. Having the means and having the will to use such means are so totally different, that references to the number of firearms possessed by a people who are less free by half since the year of their birth is not only meaningless but counterproductive.

15 minutes in many cities is 2 or 3 blocks. Oxford is not a rational city. It's full of academics and lefties. Not the same place but indicative: the Cambridge 5 we're all academics - for the Soviet Union. Happy New Year.

#32 gets it. It's not the number of weapons at our disposal, it's the mindset of a free people who refuse to give up that freedom. Our numbers are dwindling rapidly as the pajama boys, girls and non-binaries grow older and dumber.

If you CHOOSE to only travel no more than 15 minutes from your home, OK, fine. But this will be mandated by Big Brother.
So glad we tossed the damned Redcoats out a couple of hundred years ago. UK is becoming a completely totalitarian state, worse than the USSR ever was.
