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.

More info from a local paper.
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.
Grassi bastardi fascisti di Oxford!
Everything old is new again.
Agenda 21. If you have never looked it up before, do so now.
The push toward electric vehicles - which are as everybody knows great polluters, though the pollution is in another part of the world so that’s okay - is to restrict the main part of humanity from leaving the population centers, i.e., the cities. The people are all to be squeezed into urban high-rises where we can be managed and controlled more efficiently. Travel beyond the urban zone will be strictly curtailed.
The State will manage agricultural lands because farmers always eff everything up. (Communism HATES the agrarians.)
Think “Judge Dredd.”
Meanwhile, our pals in Communist China are cooking up newer, better, more virulent and more devastating diseases so that in the future, they won’t have to use water cannons or cattle prods on pesky citizens who are tired of all the BS.
You will own nothing and like it.
The Big Reset on display.
That can hardly be the official government response. The word equity does not appear anywhere in the document.

In 1992, Rush Limbaugh appeared on ABC's Nightline to engage in a debate with Al Gore regarding Gore's charge, in his then-new book Earth in the Balance, that the earth was facing imminent climate death. After Gore blathered on "a global ecological crisis that is more serious than anything human civilization has ever faced," Rush cut to the heart of the matter:
The environmental movement as fueled by the militants who lead it, I think, is the new home of socialism. I think it is. They've adopted a constituency here which can't speak -- that is trees and rocks and so forth -- and can't reject the so-called help and concern that the advocates are giving it, and gives them a stage from which to constantly launch attacks at capitalism.

Reminds me of
Daniel 5
3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Located in Oxford, because there's always a way out:

KinnorWhat Is the Significance of King David’s Harp?Kinnor (Hebrew: כִּנּוֹר kīnnōr) is an ancient Israelite musical instrument in the yoke lutes family, the first one to be mentioned in the Hebrew Bible.
Its exact identification is unclear, but in the modern day it is generally translated as "harp" or "lyre",[1]: 440 and associated with a type of lyre depicted in Israelite imagery, particularly the Bar Kokhba coins.[1]: 440 It has been referred to as the "national instrument" of the Jewish people,[2] and modern luthiers have created reproduction lyres of the kinnor based on this imagery.
The word has subsequently come to mean violin in Modern Hebrew.
It is *always* midnight in David's house because midnight oil is not sold in stores. Establishment housing and "living" schemes for your own good? It's a trap.

Do you really think any of these four mean anything to Washington DC?

Yep. Every freedom we now have can be crushed at the whim of a federal judge. The press was meant to be a guard against this. But they stay silent. There will be dark times ahead.

Travel (aka, freedom of movement) is something that particularly seems to bother our masters.
I was on a fairly long flight yesterday which had the going-beautiful-places-and-doing-fun-things ads that some airlines show when their entertainment systems start up, while behind it the voiceover text proclaimed how happy everybody was to have “the privilege of travel” again.
It’s not a privilege, it’s a right. But the CCP/Covid shutdown and trusting lack of resistance to it showed governments how easy it is to turn our rights into privileges, which may or may not be granted to us - at the discretion of the government.

Given the inability of US McDonald’s operators to keep their ice cream machines working, this may be a major tourist draw for the area.
