Model: Warsaw ghetto, anyone?
These people are truly insane.
In the United States, unlike Great Britain, we own firearms. Now I wonder how long guards would be manning the gates locking you in your neighborhood if people were taking pot shots at them from up above in the trees?
The American people have taken a lot more shit than I can believe, but if there is any blood in our veins from our ancestors there must be a limit.
Under the new scheme residents will be allowed to leave their zone a maximum of 100 days per year...

It’s called prison work release.
Snake Pliskin?
This isn’t the Bee??? This is literally insane. This has to be a joke. Has to be. Who in their right mind would go for this?
“Coming to a state near you.”
Democrat run states, that is.
The rest of us have anti-leftist defenses. Thanks to a certain ammendment.
You really don’t need to drive at all if the government is providing the cattle cars for you.
A lot of retirees who purchased recreational vehicles and
trailers are in for some interesting times, while they
make their second mortgages sitting at home.
I looked in vain for a satire notice. I wonder if the residents, er, prisoners, are in agreement.
Soviet Union employed similar schemes to limit people movement. But even they were lot more lenient!
E.g. the people could move freely within the city of Moscow.
Oxford is a lot smaller than Moscow, yet it is subdivided into six zones!
Just crazy!
Obviously the global warming is nothing like a scheme to control people.
In SU they limited the people movements so the US spies could be caught! To save the SU!
In Oxford to save the Earth.
This will be a test of the mettle of Oxfordshire County residents. If the Oxfordshire Council is not run out of town on a rail and the barriers are kept in place unmolested, we’ll know that British manhood was decimated by the two world wars.
Say what you want about the French, but according to a Grand Tour program, the French destroyed 60% of the speed cameras installed and 100% of the devices used to catch truckers not following the rules.
Good God...the North Koreans don’t even do that!
Practically nothing surprises me any longer.
And this is what China is actually researching the social aspects of.
Sounds Jim Dandy to me as I am sure your 15 minute cities are going to be economically segregated. Mine will have restaurants, cinemas, parks, and upscale living with river views. Yours will be a food dessert with an oil refinery on one side, a landfill on the other and an airport on the third.. Of course you will be allowed to ride your bike over to my 15 minute city to scrub my toilet and wash my windows. I of course will from time to time take a seat, drop the window shade and ride the train, first class car of course, over to that airport to catch a plane to the Costa del Sol.
This has to be a joke! Whatever is causing climate change/global warming/global cooling is going to be a respecter of gates? What would make more sense is to line up the council members and hold target practice...but I guess citizens don’t have access to weapons, do they? Too bad!
I lived in the UK in the seventies. I drove in Oxford then. Today it is much different. The traffic is unsustainable. I today parked in a lot and took a bus into Oxford and it was okay. However, the laws the local council are wanting to implement are the insane tyranny of the left.
I live in the Soviet of Washington, I guarantee you that is not coming here, even the Pugetopolis libs aren’t that insane.
Well, they have disarmed the citizens, so I guess it won’t be too difficult to impose. Maybe the residence need to study up on what the Irish did to resist British
