Oxford County Council is going to trial a scheme whereby the residents of the city are divided into six zones, with movement by car between the zones restricted to 100 trips per year. Eric Worrall on Watts Up With That? has more.
Imagine if your power mad politicians liked Covid Lockdowns so much, they wanted to continue them indefinitely. This is going to be trialled in Oxfordshire in Britain.
Oxfordshire County Council Pass Climate Lockdown ‘trial’ to Begin in 2024
Oxfordshire County Council yesterday approved plans to lock residents into one of six zones to ‘save the planet’ from global warming. The latest stage in the ’15 minute city’ agenda is to place electronic gates on key roads in and out of the city, confining residents to their own neighbourhoods.
Under the new scheme if residents want to leave their zone they will need permission from the Council who gets to decide who is worthy of freedom and who isn’t. Under the new scheme residents will be allowed to leave their zone a maximum of 100 days per year, but in order to even gain this every resident will have to register their car details with the council who will then track their movements via smart cameras round the city.
Communism will make the weather better
Oxfordshire County Council, which is run by Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party, secretly decided to divide-up the city of Oxford into six ‘15 minute’ districts in 2021 soon after they were elected to office. None of the councillors declared their intention of imprisoning local residents in their manifestos of course, preferring to make vague claims about how they will ‘improve the environment’ instead.
Every resident will be required to register their car with the County Council who will then monitor how many times they leave their district via number plate recognition cameras. And don’t think you can beat the system if you’re a two car household. Those two cars will be counted as one meaning you will have to divide up the journeys between yourselves. 2 cars 50 journeys each; 3 cars 33 journeys each and so on.
This story is so crazy, I wanted corroboration. This is the same story published in the Oxford Mail:
Traffic filters will divide city into six ‘15 minute’ neighbourhoods, agrees highways councillor
25th October
ROAD blocks stopping most motorists from driving through Oxford city centre will divide the city into six “15 minute” neighbourhoods, a county council travel chief has said.
And he insisted the controversial plan would go ahead whether people liked it or not.
Duncan Enright, Oxfordshire County Council’s cabinet member for travel and development strategy, explained the authority’s traffic filter proposals 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 can drive freely around their own neighbourhood and can apply for a permit to drive through the filters, and into other neighbourhoods, for up to 100 days per year. This equates to an average of two days per week.
Oxfordshire is the home of the University of Oxford, one of Britain’s premier learning institutions.
Communist states like the Soviet Union and China seem to love movement restrictions and internal passports. In my opinion Britain has been edging closer to naked communism for at least half a century, so I guess it was inevitable that an attempt would 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 love to write that the University of Oxford is up in arms, that Oxford academics are outraged at this attempt to restrict people’s freedom, but so far I have not discovered one utterance of public outrage from university academics.
For almost a thousand years the University of Oxford stood as a beacon of intellectual freedom. A number of leading Oxford intellectuals were hanged or otherwise persecuted over the centuries, because of their resistance to authoritarianism. So it seems incredibly sad that the inheritors of that proud tradition seem so willing to turn their backs on those freedoms their predecessors sometimes laid down their lives to defend.
This story is flat out insane. Why on earth would the residents of Oxford tolerate these sandal-wearing dictators? More to come on this, I’m sure.
Stop Press: Oxfordshire County Council has put out a statement to address concerns and ‘misunderstandings’ about the plans. Read it here.

The photo and Princess Anne’s comments are a small insight into the inhumane treatment of human beings by the psychopaths who run Western governments, civil service, and particularly Big Pharma.
My heart aches for the multitudes whose lives, and deaths, were impacted by the unnecessary rules, mandates and restrictions.
At the time obviously these images were seen as good publicity for the warmongers:
‘Look everybody, even the Queen has to antisocial distance at her husband’s funeral.’
Now they can be seen as a stark reminder of the depravities foisted on the population.
Not exactly in their favour any more.
Are you watching Bozo?
I wonder if she did it deliberately… to make a point she couldn’t make openly?
Nah.. don’t you remember.. she was pushing the jab and associated guilt if you didn’t get it..
I’d like to ‘read in full’ but it won’t open for me: it says “about: blocked” and has a red dot.
The first link (first paragraph) works. Second link is apparently an error.
‘Asked if this was a “thievery”, she said: ‘Yes, you’re quite right. In some ways I’m glad we didn’t see that, at that moment. When you see the photograph it’s much worse somehow.’
So very well said.
That image isn’t going away; says it all about the venal, mendacious, incompetent bovine idiocy of Bunter, the well named Hancock, the Gumby Brothers, Prof. Pantsdown and that whole unsavoury crew, backed by the bunch of hand wringing cowardly no hopers running the obsolete, bloated, out of touch and hopelessly inefficient national health service of this country.
It is also a thunderous indictment of the spineless subservience of so many of the British people.
Yes.. and all for an alleged killer virus with a 99.7% survival rate.. a HOAX.. and they knew it from day one.. and probably well before that. Liars – charlatans the lot of them..
Well yes, and the spineless subservience of the majority of citizens of rich world countries, and the unsavoury people running all of their governments, in lockstep – and this applies to countries with relatively efficient health services.
” If you ever wondered how and why millions of ordinary decent people just stood and watched as Germany descended into Fascism – you do now”.
And the sheep think we’re better than the Germans.
LOL.
Annie is a top bird.
Steady on, she’s still a bloody Windsor.
Jeez Hux.. that made me laugh..
Thank you.
Mountbatten-Windsor….but, technically, historically, would have been Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg-Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
She is and personally I wish next week it was going to be Queen Anne…
I like Anne. I’ve always liked her, despite her being a ‘royal’. She’s always come across as a straight talking, no nonsense person. Far better than her brothers, IMO.
For the record, I won’t be sat at home – or anywhere – swearing allegiance to her brother during the coronation. Nope, definitely not.
Any chance we can do a swap and get her on the Throne in Saturday instead of that spoilt, dull-brained nitwit?
She could perhaps ‘identify’ as being the king. Seems to work for everyone else who
pretendswants to be what they clearly are not!COVID didn’t steal anything from anyone. The mindless cruelty of the compassionate and kind[*] pandemic politicians, experts and profiteers did that.
[*] We’re soo sorry that we have to hurt you! But it doesn’t hurt much, don’t you agree, and it’s for the benefit of others! Take this times the number of people who got hurt and it’ll turn out that – strangely – no others would could have benefitted are left. COVID propaganda always adressed individuals – Look him in the eyes and tell him …! – who were asked to make small sacrifices, so it was claimed, It’s just as mask!, for the benefit of some silent majority. That’s a clever trick because in reality every member of the population was indivdiually sacrificed and thus, no one benefitted.
Exactly..
This whole point of the now iconic, artfully composed image of the former Queen sitting frail and all alone in St George’s Chapel for her beloved husband’s funeral was to underline both the necessity of coronavirus restrictive measures (in this case social distancing and mask wearing) and the royal family’s self-sacrificial acceptance of them.
Just as Princess Anne’s comments in fact comprise complete support for the tyrannical Covid measures rather than any sort of anti-lockdown dissent:
“Covid stole from my father, who lost a lot of the people who would have gone to see him and come and talk to him and have those conversations that would have kept him interested. He lost all of that,” she said”
‘Covid stole’ rather than ‘fraudulent and oppressive lockdown measures stole’.
Looking at big picture stuff the historically unprecedented attempt to introduce a medieval / North Korean element to the imminent coronation in the form of a mass public oath of allegiance to ‘King Charles III’ (who has already made use of the coronavirus ’emergency’ to support the worldwide launch of a communistic ‘Great Reset’, one which also revolves around the inherently totalitarian and mass impoverishing ‘Net Zero’ agenda) is deeply sinister, indeed there are the genuine makings of an anti-democratic monarchist coup.
Having said that it is important to remember that both ‘Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Change’ Green delusions and interconnected ultra-health obsessions (eg that a flu like illness requires shutting down entire societies) are very widely held.
In other words (as always) these are an ideological and practical rather than personalised issue.
Great post.. you said it far better than I could..
I shall always think of her as a very worthy Queen Anne II (unfortunately lost by us, because her brother was born first).
It was not only Queen Elizabeth who was forced to sit alone when attending her husband’s funeral service. Many, many other families were forced to follow the lies and nonsense made up by governments. Who made up these cruel rules. Whoever did should be serving time in prison for lying to the public. Shame on the government and its advisors who made things up as they went along during the covid debacle. The data was available regarding risk, had been since the beginning of the plandemic. Dr. John Ioannidis made it available for every single person on earth. The question is why did governments around the world choose to ignore his data
And these are the same class of elites pushing the net Zero insanity and the great reset, ESD, open borders and all the other dreamed up programs all funded by your tax dollars.
The royal family failed in their duty to stand up for us and they should have set an example by ignoring the dictatorial government.
